This book was filled with action and intense multiple plot lines.
The fact that Charlotte only had 2 weeks to find Mortmain was actually crazy. I knew from the start that would be impossible considering they were no where near finding him. But I was very glad in the end that Charlotte got to keep the institute due to the fact that she blackmailed Lightwood with the truth about his wife and Nathanial Gray. I was also very pleased that Henry and Charlotte managed to finally talk about there relationship and work things out.
I felt very bad for Will when I found out why he was trying to summon the demon. I was shocked to find out the curse the Marbas put on Will was a fake and that he had lived 5 years of his life pushing away everyone because he was scared that everyone would die. I was also be try shocked when his family was in one of Mortmains houses, and I was even more shocked when Cecily came to the institute at the end and asked to be trained to become a Shadowhunter. Will must of been in shock.
Tessa, was again, a great character. I loved her relationship with Sophie in this book. How they always trusted and confided in each other on their struggles. I loved how they trained together, strengthening their friendship. I was surprised when she found out her parents were a Shadowhunter and a demon, which is literally impossible so I’m very curious to find out more. I felt really bad for her that Nate died but I was kind of glad considering he was a pain.
Jen remained a sweet caring character throughout, who grew very close to Tessa. I was shocked when he proposed to her at the end. Especially when I was rooting for Will to get with Tessa considering everything he’s been through.
Overall, I loved this book and can’t wait to read the next one to see how the story turns out.
