This plot was a hot mess 😂 but somehow I liked this more than the previous books in the series! I didn't skim read like the last two. I still don't like Jace and Clary but they didn't annoy me as much through this book. ALEC HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE A BADASS and people need to appreciate him more! Loved the Malec moments. They drove me through the book. And Maia of course! She is awesome. 

FINALLY DONE TMI! Goodness. Loved the cameos of other characters and getting to meet Emma and the Blackthorns!

WHY does the incest keep coming back. It's so unnecessary.
