whizzed through this bc Cassie Clare did her absolute big one with this universe, as we all know! ngl I feel like there wasn’t MUCH that happened in this book, but it did set the foundation for the greatest literary universe of all time so I can’t be mad about it. also, felt terrible for Clary bc lowkey everyone hated her and she was just trying to get her mum back 🥲 also that brother sister plot twist at the end will never not gag me (and not in the good way at all…) sighs

first reread: Feb 2021
aahhhh it was acc rlly nice to read this book since I last read it 3/4 years ago lols 🙈
> right from the start, I LOVED Simon’s humour, which meant I loved his character too 💕 also, I acc felt sorry for him with the whole Clary love triangle situation, but at the same time, he’s clearly meant for my girl Isabelle 💅
> Clary is SUCH a brave bean omllll 🥺 and the way she stood up for herself was amazing + her badass moments were ELITEEE ✨
> JACE FRICKING WAYLAND/MORGENSTERN OML they way he had me laughingggg because his sarcasm was on point 😝 also, every time he made any sort of joke, it reminded me of my baby Will Herondale 🥺🥺🥺 + the end of that Clace kiss chapter from his POV made me feel so bad for him 😭 but we all know what’s coming in the next book 😳✋🏼 also the way he did the MOST for Clary like boiiii what an angel ooft 🥰
> IZZY WAS LIKE THIS BITCH AT THE START, but then as the book went on I found her bitchiness endearing coz Lightwood excellence teehee 🧚🏼‍♀️ also her bonding with Clary >>>> can’t wait for more SIZZY later on oop 🤩
> wowwww Alec was also a dick at the start, and the only times I liked him was when he was being all adorable and awkward lol 😌 but the way I’m so excited to see his character development EEK 💖
> Magnus Bane rlly decided to SERVE right from his first few sentences, what a KING 😍😍😍 basically, I can’t wait for more Magnus Bane 🤪
Imma need a LOT of patience to get through the next two books, but get through them I shall 😋 ...more "
