Yes, gawd! Something interesting finally happened and it's all down to Helen Blackthorn. I just love her character so much, she's almost reminds me of Molly Weasley a little, only younger and half Shadowhunter, Half Fey.

I absolutely deteste the teacher and so much so that I can't even bother to remember his name. How dare everyone treat all the fairies and especially half fairies with such disgrace. It's horrible and I love Helen and oh gosh. I really hope we hear more about the Fairies. That last story at the end broke my heart. Honestly.
And sizzy yesssss. I laughed so hard when she said Jace told her. Anyways, super great and yay go Simon. May 18 2017

Don't hate me for this. I never quite liked Isabelle or Sizzy as much as I wanted to. But Helen. Faeries. The ending.

The unjust behaviour towards Helen was infuriating and I'm worried about reading The Dark Artifices because I don't want to be stressed. Hearing about the Blackthorns was interesting but Nerissa's story made my heart hurt. I didn't care much about Simon or Isabelle.

This story was pretty short for a short story ;) I'm glad Sizzy is sorting itself out...nothing like a make out session reunion! The story about Helens father was so interesting! And sad. I'm really looking forward to being around the fairies more in LM.

¡Segundo año de Simon en la Academia de Cazadores de Sombras!

Ahora que Simon ha regresado a la Academia después de las vacaciones de verano, algunas cosas han cambiado. Simon no es el mismo enclenque que era cuando empezó aunque si el mismo nerd sarcástico.

Por esas cosas te amamos Simon. Nunca cambies.

Para aquellos Sizzy shippers, serán felices con este relato.

Pero uno de los principales puntos en este relato es la aparición de mas detalles y tramas que lo unen a The Dark Artífices y a los Blackthorne.

En este relato aparece Helen Blackthorne, una de las más obvias victimas de la crueldad y discriminación de la Clave. En la academia, Helen es tratada con un fenómeno de circo y obligada a contar la historia de sus padres: Un cazador de sombras y una hada.

Aqui ya empezamos a ver muchos hechos que pueden formar parte de la trama de TDA.

Fue un buen relato.
