Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy by Robin Wasserman, Sarah Rees Brennan, Cassandra Clare, Maureen Johnson
4.0

I was going to give this a 5 stars and rave about how amazing it was, until the very end.
It was amazing nonetheless and I loved 648 pages out of 655.
As the end was getting neerer and neerer, I was strongly starting to fear something was going to happen, and to make it short it happened and I hate it. It was insanely predictable and so unnecessary I can't even fathom it.

Before to get to the spoiler though, I must say this might be one of my favourite Shadowhunter book (until page 648).
I loved all the stories, my favourites being "Nothing but Shadows", "The Fiery Trials" and "Born to Endless Night", and my least favourites "The Evil We Love" and "Angels Twice Descending" (that one essentially because I am bitter).

[SPOILER]

So you killed George for absolutely no reason, it was predictable af and disgusting and useless. I knew one of the mundanes was going to die and I knew it was going to be George, and when Simon had to drink before George I knew.
I knew he was going to be sacrificied in some sort of a symbol for the end Simon's Mundane life and it's so painfully wrong and cliché I am baffled it actually happened.
I have to take a whole star out for that.
