2023 reread: It is currently 4 A.M. I stayed up to push through 300 pages of frustration and extreme eye rolls because I refuse to carry this in my luggage while I'm on vacation back home.This is truly the worst case of a filler book I've ever had to sit through. ( though to be honest it's more of a link to get to the second arc but i dont care enough rn whatever) I can not tell you just how much i dislike all the relationships (except for Malec and that's mostly bc I love Magnus. He is the only man I respect in this universe)So many redundancies. This could've been a 100 pages long novella and it'd have sufficed.I could show you all the parts where Jace and Simon are communicating and acting more like people who might be attracted to each other then the ship aka clacy shows up on page and cassie is spoon feeding me all this crap about how it can only be clary for jace or vice versa and all I can think about is the bar for a loving relationship and communication is truly in hell .Lord forbid we have more than one LGBTQ+ couple in a book. We already hit the diversity quota for the day.All of these characters are like if you took the WORST and MOST EXTREME characteristics of a teenager going through puberty and splashed that shit show around. Not a single one of them is sane or responsible. All of them just have to be impulsive and fall in love at first sight. Truly a curse to be a fond early 2000's YA fantasy reader. *Sigh*
