A second heart's desire and it's another man!!?

Bloody hell I thought Jack was bad. How they'd spoken about twice before she was "in love" with him and how he in the few times they met he'd made sexually suggestive comments and harassed her. And then comes the eugenicist who she's never had a conversation with who declares his love and they have sex. What is this book!?

Healing the earth through eugenics. That's a great message for the next generation /s

Why not have some unchallenged blatant misogyny and tales about sexual harassment in a book for children.

Characters (and people) don't have to always be happy and fun but Saba in the last book and Lugh in this one are just unpleasant to be around even as a reader. It makes it actually difficult to want to continue with this book.

Well that's got to be racist

Found a book mark in this book so I started it all those years ago. I have zero recollection of that at all.

And I thought Saba was the character I hated most for being mean and insufferable then here comes Lugh

I feel like I betrayed this book. This book is written in a style that makes it quite hard to read (though not as hard as I remember from the first one) While reading this book I got caught up in the Shadowhunters series and felt the urge to read City of Glass. Now I've not only dropped this book for another I didn't finish the other and feel uncompelled to read this one at this time...

I am a book traitor!

Is it me or is this one written more like modern English than the first book?
