Well, not really as great as world of divergent or hogwarts a history. I think the author has tried to use swag language just to connect better to the readers, but actually this kind of slang, after reading a plot such beautifully written in both TMI & TID, this is really annoying. Please, its not so cool, it only repels us off. And i don't understand why the book was even written cos most of the information was already known through the series books and for the rest of the info , well it's not hard to predict.
And another thing if Will was really an ancestor to Jace and you do remember, right? he gives the codex to tessa in The Infernal Devices, then why the hell is the codex written in Clary's point of view. That was a terrible fail and i would've never expected this from a great author like you, Cassandra. The book is Oh-so-disappointing! :(

3,5 tähteä

Pääosin mielenkiintoista luettavaa; Claryn, Jacen ja Simonin merkinnät olivat täyttä kultaa :D

Reads like a textbook. Redeeming features are the scribbles throughout which kept me greatly amused

i liked this more than i thought i would, actually. i enjoyed the commentary and the illustrations were amazing but everything else was just kind of boring.

some parts were more interesting than others but i did end up skimming through a lot of it because i kind of just wanted to be done with it.
