To me: this is more of a 3.5…
Definitely my least favorite shadowhunter book.
It just didn’t feel like much was happening… there were a few good moments. Like when Luke got stabbed and also when Sebastian attacks Clary at the end.
Sebastian is a good villain because he literally is just crazy. Him attacking clary was so beyond gross and made me hate him even more.
But Cassandra Clare, my friend, what’s with the continued incest plot lines?! I cannot anymore.
Also, Isabelle and Simon’s back and forth was annoying, Alex was truly the worst in his back stabbing of Magnus (although I was sad when they broke up), and I totally do not ship Jordan and Maia. He hit her, stalked her, and then as soon as he can, love bombs her.
And lastly, the decisions this team was making was wild. They raised a demon, an angel, etc. Also, Clary could have put a stop to a lot of things by letting Jace go and she didn’t which led to deaths. She makes up for it later but like oh em gee none of these people had their heads screwed on right. And like they don’t get found out or in trouble by the Clave? Hmmmm.
Anyways, onto a filler book because I need to take a TMI break. I can’t believe I’m on the last book!

*sigh* sorry but the later part of this novel annoyed me too much to give it a 4-5 star. Reading this series after reading the beautiful "Infernal Devices" by Cassie has clouded my judgement. Maybe if i had read this series before Infernal Devices, back when it was on its peak of fame, I MIGHT have enjoyed it but meh

I don’t know what made me so desperate to read this book, but halfway through August I was just itching to get my hands on it. This was when I gave up on having my sister pick my TBR for me, but I am really glad I did.
I thought this book was fine. You all know I’m not the biggest Cassandra Clare fan, so I wasn’t expecting anything extraordinary and, while it was certainly better than City of Fallen Angels, I still felt a little let down by this book. I just didn’t care about any of the story lines and, besides the infernal cup, everything was so predictable to me.

As with all the other books, this one started out slowly but picked up and the ending was awesome, although I wish the final part was longer because it felt important, so I wish we spent a little more time in that section. Other than that, this series is soooooo good and I’m nervous but excited for the final book!! If Jace or clary dies I will throw hands. 🙌🏻
AND WHY DID MAGNUS AND ALEC HAVE TO BREAK UP AHHHH
