For having started this book In 2022 and then only reading 200 pages to finish it within a week seems so strange. This book was so much fun, I’m quite excited to get to other Shadowhunter books that I’ve forbidden myself from reading until I finished this. The plot was truly plotting so hard if only I had read the next chapter back In 2022 because this book truly picked up and never slowed down. 

I’ve heard so many good things about the infernal devices from my friends but I think the eldest curses will have to be my next books because I’ve waited long enough for them I think.

A beautiful, BEAUTIFUL ending to this series!!! I laughed, cried, was on the edge of my seat, and every other emotion possible! So many memorable and well-written moments. I’m so sad it’s over, but I will definitely be reading the rest of Clare’s books in the Shadow world!!
