This series... I am currently struggling to withhold from building a Shadowhunters shrine.
It's getting so GOOD. My heart was in my mouth while reading this, and the plot twist - AHHHHH.
Simon is really coming into his own, and we are learning more about Isabelle. So far in this series, she's kind of just been a firey, hot woman with a whip (and I'm by no means complaining about that...). But in this book, we see her more vulnerable side and I love her even more because of it. Jace is still in absolute crisis - but would he be Jace if he wasn't?
I've started the next one already (City of Lost Souls) because...
Cliffhanger!!!!
Please make sure you have the next book on hand, for your own sanity.
Cassandra Clare, I applaud you.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that this book focused a bit more on Simon… I've always loved Simon and poor buy just has the worst luck! However I was so happy to read more about him and see his luck turn around at least a little bit.
Loved this book, and as usual with all of Cassandra's books - I couldn't put it down!

I really enjoyed this book. Although the ending was certainly unsatisfying, and I did skim through some of it in the middle, I thought it was a lot more interesting and overall better written then some of the other books in this series.

Was this the worst book I've read by Cassandra Clare thus far? Possibly.
Was it as terrible as everyone claimed it to be? Not really.
If I had to sum up this book, it would be boring and.. unnecessary. Pure fanfiction because.. she didn't want to let the characters go? Onto Clockwork Prince I guess (hopefully City of Lost Souls and Heavenly Fire are decent).
