Soul crusher, dream taker, heart broker.

It was definitely much better than the first book. Finally, we have a love triangle as I was asking before, yet I think I kinda regret it because it made me sob! 

I have few complaints of this book, but the one that strikes me the most is Tessa’s personality. She was annoying, I couldn’t stand her most of the time. She was so dumb from time to time, with unusual remarks that didn’t fit her persona (comparing this Tessa with the Tessa from the previous novel).

And I hate what Cassandra Clare did to Jessamine. I wonder if she will have her comeback era in the last book of the trilogy.

I really like Jem, too. It pains my heart to see him suffer, but Will… Oh, Will. He owns my heart as much as Tessa owns his.
