This novella solidified my dislike for Camille. Her actions leave a trail of destruction, often impacting innocent bystanders. While vulnerability can be relatable, her immaturity and inability to handle difficult situations consistently hurt those around her. Thankfully, Magnus seems to be done with her drama. 

Despite the frustration with Camille, the backstory was interesting, and the story itself held merit.

Interesting.

I hate Camille Belcourt, more like Bel-go-fuck-yourself. Ugh, every time I think of her, I get annoyed. I remember reading Vampires, Scones and Edmund Herondale and she irritated me so much. Especially Magnus with all the crap love for her.

Magnus is such an idiot at times.

It was a good book, I'm so happy these ebooks were possible because all of them are really amazing. Thank you Cassie.

This book was not perfection by any means, but honestly, it's a novella. It's a short story, most of which wouldn't make sense unless you'd read the last two. But I can say that I honestly didn't expect it to end the way that it did. Or perhaps I knew that it would end like that, but I had forgotten and didn't want that to happen. Either way, Magnus and all your feelings. Ugh, killing me. But I love it.

Sigo sin saber cómo sentirme respecto a Camille, no sé si la odio, o si me da lástima.

Rating: 3.5/5

The pacing was slow but the mystery was funny. I didn't really care about Camille. Was Magnus on the planet to just fix everything all of the time? Most of the world would have been dead if it wasn't for him. It was a shame that he
erased his memories of Camille. It does make me wonder how he remembered in the end in The Mortal Instruments?

This story show more of the great person that is Magus Bane, the hidden love behind him and Chamile, as well as the faith that he puts in Rafael.

I enjoyed how the authors used a real life event and mingled it with downworlders

Fue un relato entretenido, como algunos de los otros no exactamente de mis favoritos (como el anterior a este) pero si un lindo relato. Hasta que leí el final. Madre de dios, lo que fue el final. Me quedé anonadada por lo que leí, los sentimientos de los personajes se cruzan con los míos y lo que antes podría ser molestia por armarse un triangulo amoroso/mal tercio en TMI ahora es... simple dolor, como dije sentimientos cruzados. Pena. Camille me cae cada vez mejor y Magnus, oh mi pobre y adolorido Magnus. Muy buen relato, bello final, ¿Qué pasará con ellos de ahora en más? Supongo que será una herida del pasado a menos que las cosas cambien en CoHF.
