Obviously this is not the best book in the series (not as bad as city of ashes) so far but I did find this book to be enjoyable. It was fun to get to read in the other characters pov not just in Clary and Jaces as they can be a rather annoying sometimes. I liked that we got more Simon and Izzy because they're the best characters in tmi, besides Magnus of course. I also liked that Simon and Jace are finally starting to have a sort of friendship? Now onto the things I was not the biggest fan of the first being the plot. The plot of this book was very meh, it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't very spectacular either. Another thing I wasn't a fan of was the brushing off of Jordan's abuse towards Maia. They tried to justify him hitting and then attacking her because he had just been turned into a werewolf. I just hate the trope of where they make the werewolf boys have this weird aggression and then justifying it because they're a werewolf. It's gross. I hope the next book is much better and more fast paced as city of glass was.
