I buddy read this book with Erin. We've been making our way through Cassandra Clare's books for the past year or two. I had high hopes for this book because I love Magnus and Alec (Malec) and I loved the first book in this trilogy unfortunately this one fell a little flat for me. 

I love Alec and Magnus together but things were off between them in this book understandably so. Even though I understand why Magnus was a little different at times I did not enjoy reading it. It was very frustrating to me. Also everyone was just making one stupid choice after another one without really thinking through anything which honestly at this point it's kind of expected when it comes to Clare but also at this point I am over so much of it. The other thing that bothered me was how it ended. It was abrupt and felt like it cut off in the middle of the story. 

While this one didn't fully work for me I still can't help but be sucked into the story and love following Alec and Magnus which is why this one gets the 3 star rating from me.
