This starts out a bit slow but once the ball is rolling it’s ROLLING. Plenty of action and surprises to keep things interesting. The romance was nice and not as rushed as it is in the mortal instruments. Up until the epilogue though it felt like this book could be a stand alone so I’m curious how the story will proceed without feeling forced.

La cosa che ho gradito maggiormente di quest'opera è stata rimmergermi in un mondo a cui mi ero parecchio affezionata qualche hanno fa, seguita dalle interazioni e dinamiche tra Emma e Julian, e tra quest'ultimo e i suoi fratelli. Altra cosa che ho molto gradito è l'esplorazione del mondo fatato e delle sue tradizione tramite il personaggio di Mark.

L'investigazione sul caso che viene loro assegnato lascia un po' a desiderare, ma nel complesso non è spiacevole da leggere.

Quello che mi è piaciuto di meno, e non mi ha convinto quasi per nulla, è stato il colpevole dei delitti e le sue motivazioni, nonché il conflitto finale, ma soprattutto nell'epilogo nel quale si lascia intendere che
Lady Midnight sia stata riportata in vita con successo

Honestly, I love the world Cassandra Clare has created. Since I got into HS, I have grown up on her books, but now I think I am past the intended audience.

For my fellow readers who are in the same spot I am and are wondering if this series is even worth it, I can say now that it is. I say that because I finished this trilogy.

Yes, it is mostly a cast of people 18 and under. Yes, there is overly dramatic and overly complicated love, I think at this point that's Clare's specialty. Yes, it's a little exhausting to meet this cast when all we really want is to read about the original cast from TMI or even TID but they do make a good deal of appearances in this series. That alone was why I picked up this book, but it was Julian Blackthorne who kept me reading. He has a solid head on his shoulders considering he is about 16/17(?).
Honestly, now that I finished this series, it's worth just pushing through this book to get to the other two.
