The Mortal War has come to a close, leaving a fragile peace in its wake. Sixteen-year-old Clary Fray finds herself returning to the familiar hustle and bustle of New York City, eager to embrace life and reconnect with friends. Yet, the shadows of a recent past linger, as the world of Shadowhunters and Downworlders is anything but orderly. Clary's excitement is tempered with uncertainty, reminding her that danger can still lurk around every corner.

As she navigates her everyday life, Clary struggles to balance her growing powers and the complexities of her relationships. Her feelings for Jace, the enigmatic Shadowhunter, are more tumultuous than ever, compounded by fresh dangers that involve both new and old foes. While trying to forge her own identity within the tumultuous world of the Nephilim, she must also confront the repercussions of the conflict and the intricate web of her heart's choices.

Amidst the intrigue and swirling emotions, dark forces begin to resurface, threatening to plunge the city back into chaos. Clary's journey takes her deeper into a world filled with secrets, alliances, and betrayals, testing her resilience and the bonds she cherishes. As new challenges arise, the stakes become higher, and Clary must decide where her loyalties truly lie, not just in her own heart, but also in the fate of those she loves.

    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*
