5.0

The Lost Book of The White is definitely TMI 2.0. This was such an action-packed book filled with perfect comedic timing. I can’t believe I have come to the end of the very last book for TSC. The whole gang is back! (One of them owns Church). My heart is very full from reading this. All of our favorite ships share a bunch of cute and domestic moments together, especially Malec with their now warlock baby, Max. Little spoiler, Jace officially calls Maryse ‘mom’ now and her being a grandmother to Max is absolute perfection. Set three years after the events of the Mortal War, it makes me feel nostalgic that everyone has grown up and become more comfortable in how they carry themselves. I’m very sad that my time with these characters will come to an end someday, but I also can’t wait! The Eldest Curses is a trilogy that ties up the events for TWP’s first installment, which will be out in 2026.  

Note: Please do follow a reading order before starting this. I read it chronologically, which is approved by CC herself. This series cannot be skipped as it opens up possible events for TWP. 

Buddy read with my good friend Haley.
