Oh. My. God.
What a book. I'm actually speechless... That ending... Wow...
Anyway, this book has just... I just can't describe how happy it has made me. There are more stories from the shadow world and I'm just so happy that Cassie has continued writing in this brilliant world that's she's created.
The amount of twists in this book was just, wow. I expected none of what happened, especially towards the end!
One of the best things about this book is that it featured the TMI characters and you get to see how they've progressed in life and their relationship developments and we get to also see a new family that has been mentioned before but not loads - the Blackthorns. In this world we haven't yet this family but in this book were introduced to so many of them and they all have such wonderful personalities.
I love the depth of the parabatai bond that Julian and Emma have and it was explained in such detail that I have a better understanding of the shadow world from it.
This might be slightly biased, based on the fact that I love Cassandra Clare and her books (because they're so fab) and even have a whole shelf of them but this book is worth the Five stars that I want to give it. If you haven't read any of Cassie's books then WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! UNDER A ROCK?! READ THEM NOW!
In all seriousness, if you love dystopian reads such as The hunger games, Divergent, etc, then you are bound to love this and The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices and literally anything by Cassandra Clare (because she's a genius)
*** NOW ONTO THE SPOILER SECTION SO DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ BECAUSE YOU WILL WANT TO FIND HIS ALL OUT FOR YOURSELF***
MARK BLACKTHORN YOU CHEEKY BUGGER. The ending 'why lie' I was just like... WAIT WHAT! Does that mean he has feelings for her? Is he getting back at Christina? Is he just doing it to save his brother? WHO KNOWS?! Also on the subject of Mark, I like the whole 'surprise, I kinda have a boyfriend' twist that happened. I love the memories that those two had shared and how, Kieran was all that he had.
JEM AND TESSA HI. Thank you for putting us out of our misery as to why parabatai can't love each other, it was killing me.
Malcom, why? Love drives you to do crazy things but this guy, going to extreme lengths and although everyone was like 'it's cool, were safe now'at the end of the book. HOW WRONG YOU WERE. SURPRISE: EPILOGUE
Malec also have a child! A little blue warlock child named Max, Max! That actually made me smile that they actually called him Max. Jace and Clary are also still together and quite close with Emma, surprisingly. And then throughout I was like 'But what about Simon and Izzy' because we learn about Simon and Clary being parabatai but nothing else about Simon really. Then, engagement party! Simon and Izzy! GAH!
Kit! Christopher Herondale, Herondales everywhere honestly (I knew he was too sassy to function, hence the Herondale blood) that was the best twist because he had just lost his dad, but gained a whole new family and found out that he's a shadowhunter! I can't wait to see how he progresses in the next book.
I could honestly write pages and pages about this book because, it was just so brilliant and Cassie (if you actually read this) thank you so much.
