Comencé esta saga un poco perdida porque la manera de escribir ( o la traducción) no encajaba con mis esquemas pero además de acostumbrarme, apreciar y notar un gran cambio en la redacción me pasó algo más, me enamoré de la historia y los personajes. Cada libro que pasa más me gusta y más pena me da que ya casi voy a terminar la saga :( ( por suerte habrá más libros en este mundillo ¡!)
En resumen 5 estrellas porque me ha gustado todo: trama, personajes, redacción,desarrollo,TODO , me ha llegado, quiero más y sólo me queda declararme fan de esta escritora <3

2.5 stars.
I honestly felt as if I was reading Twilight. Throughout the entire book Clary is immature, selfish, stupid and has no regard for anything but her relationship with Jace.
There's barely a plot throughout the book. Blah blah Jace is possessed again, Alec is insecure about Magnus, Isabelle is stubborn about her feelings for Simon etc etc. Despite a psychopath on the loose all these characters think about is sex. Awful cringe worthy scenes with Simon biting Isabelle and Clary getting hot and heavy with Jace despite her knowing it's not really him and when she should be focused on figuring out Sebastian's plan.
One thing that really annoyed me to the point where I got angry and slammed the book shut was when Clary and Jace are at the faerie club. Jace talks Clary into taking drugs because hey it's fun to be high. I was really angry at Clare for this scene because she glamourized drugs as something wonderful and fun when she knows that young girls read these books and she has an influence over them. It was a horrible choice for her to include this scene with no consequences of Clary or Jace's actions after taking drugs. No, instead Jace just tries to force himself on Clary at the club and Clare never resolves the issue. I am still reeling from this.
There is no character development or depth whatsoever throughout the book and I was constantly searching for the plot. The only thing I enjoyed was seeing snippets of Brother Zachariah which if you've read The Infernal Devices series you will understand.
This series should have stopped after the first three books but I guess it was in Clare's favour to stretch the series without a plot and with poorer writing as each book goes on, for some extra cash.

Reread 2025: I understand /why/ we spend so much time with Clary and Jace but unfortuntely I still don’t care about them. Their relationship is slightly more interesting in this one than in earlier books, but only slightly. I’m still so confused on how these books are so long yet I can’t remember what we’ve spent so much time doing. Alec is being a stupid idiot but I also feel like his story could have been so much more interesting to read if we had gotten more time with it? Like he really is so insecure and doesn’t know how to communicate with his boyfriend that he feels like his only option is to go to Camille for relationship-advice, just because she is the only one that knows Magnus in the same way Alec does? It’s such an interesting storyline and it would’ve been so fun to really get to dig in to Alec’s brain and why he does that, what is it actually he’s so insecure about, what is it that makes it so hard for him to talk to Magnus, but because we don’t really get to spend enough time with him he just comes across stupid and annoying. It’s not surprising that Magnus breaks up with him, but I also feel like we deserved more of Magnus’ thoughts and feelings before that happened. Izzy is making some strange choices in this, I do really like the portrayal of her feelings toward Simon, but also the whole scene when she goes to Jordan feels so out of place. I hate Sebastian but his character is so clear and gross I have to be impressed (his sexual comments toward Clary are vile but they’re great characterization). I also feel like this is the book where we finally get some action in the end, we get an actual fight scene instead of just talks about it one, which I appreciate. Also appreciate the small glimpses we get of Aline and Helen, more sapphics please!

“I never cared,” he said. “I wanted you anyway. I always wanted you.”
Is it bad that I was more invested in all the other character's POVs except for Clary's? There's so much in this book that I assume sets up for the next one, and so much happened in that epilogue.
