Review 2: 3,5 stars. I don't know how to rate this. Because some stories is SO GOOD while I feel a bit lukewarm on others. While reading Shadowhunter academy this time I was mostly interested in the parts taking place in the past (and Malec ofcourse). So sometimes I wanted to be done with the Simon and the gang bits. But I really enjoyed the humour, I thnk Cassandra Clare is so freaking funny. And then she goes and makes my cry in the next sentence *shrugs*. TALENT.


Review 1: 4 stars. Ja vad ska man säga förutom att jag har fått skratta, swoona och gråta i omgångar. Bättre än den förra novellsamlingen, The Bane Chronicles.

*3.5 Stars. This was the first book I’ve finished since the end of February and I’m so happy!! While this isn’t my favorite shadowhunter book by any means but it was the perfect book to hopefully get me out of my reading slump.

Read for Tome Topple Round 11: the tome that has been on your TBR the longest + tome from a series

I -

I loved this?

So much??

No one is as shocked as I am that I loved a Shadowhunter book again but here we are!

If you know me then you probably know that over the last several years I have very much fallen out of love with the world of the Shadowhunters, and Cassandra Clare in general. But I keep reading this books for three reasons; I'm apparently a masochist, I've dedicated so much time and money to this world that I'm determined to read all of it, and most importantly because I keep waiting for one of them to give me the same feelings I had when I first got into this series almost a decade ago. Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy actually, and very surprisingly, did that. I had been avoiding this book for four years, just kept putting it off, but I'm so glad that I finally read this. And it flew by! I read this in three or four sittings? I was invested in all the side characters, in the small plots of each story but also the bigger plot taking place throughout all of them. This was just a really well done collection, and I especially loved getting to know more characters who weren't just the same few that we've been reading about over and over again for years. And this also made me unbelievably excited to read Chain of Gold, which I've also been dreading for years but no longer

Anyways, at this point I'm just rambling. But point of the matter is, I really enjoyed this book, I'm very glad that I read it, and I'm going to go cry myself to sleep now because THAT ENDING THOUGH WTF
