4.2*
I binge-read it in 2 days, it was so amazingly written, that I just kept gulping it down by my eyes.
I really enjoyed the beginning when Alec doubtful about soulmate marks, when he was injured and Magnus denied help at first, I loved how Magnus got to see real Alec who saved the warlock child and helpem him to heal. But I must say that the part when and got closer felt kind of like not exactly fitting the preceeding part of the story. I dont know whether the author changed their mind, or whether it was always intended next progression, but the transition to things happening in Valentine´s prison felt kind up weird, may be a little bit out blue. I felt like something was missing, like that some part with setting up the atmosphere and what was going on got lost or omitted.
I guess it isnt weird, but with how things were before I was surprised how quickly Magnus and Alec started to see each other in different light, I thought that they would struggle more in seeing the right colors of each other. It felt a little bit easy for them to fall in love.
I love the alliance rune idea behind the final battle, I loved Alec using magic, but I must say that the final battle ended kind of too quickly and with condensed narrative which was a little bit letdown. The final battle deserved conclusion written with more details.
