The Lost Book of the White by Cassandra Clare
4.0
4.5 stars
I loved the dark undertone of this book, but I have to admit that some parts were quite boring and I often felt like skipping some paragraphs (I didn't do it but still-).
For the first time we explore the time period between the ending of TftSA and the beginning of TDA, and it's clear that our beloved TMI characters are more mature now, more adult.
Magnus and Alec have solved their trust issues and are now a couple, but at the same time they became parents, and we see how this affects their behaviour, both in an ordinary setting and in dangerous situations.
After the events of TftSA, Simon is not the same person he was before and in this book Clare shows us the extent of it. Simon suffers from PTSD and he also finds himself in a place that puts him under even more pressure than when he was at the Academy. It's not an easy read suited for everyone.
The epilogue. I'm not going to say anything, but Cassandra Clare surely loves to keep us on our toes.
