**SLIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD**
FINALLY FINALLY finished this badboi. 'Twas satisfying and fun. Cassie's REALLY good at leaving Easter eggs and every bit of detail we need to look forward in the future of the Shadowhunter world. Of course, it was refreshing to encounter familiar names again (both the stellar and the fallen ones). Had good gasps but spend most of the time reading either exclaiming 'awwwww' or dropping f-bombs. Hahaha!
As for me, I am ecstatic to learn more about the development between Kit (the descendant of the First Heir) and Ash (the gifted son of the Fallen Star). I would also like to look forward about Janus (the Herondale cosplayer lol) and his plans in achieving them.
Throughout the book, James Carstairs is truly, truly an exquisite lover, hero and ally--making him the strongest Shadowhunter character yet.

This was a pretty solid bind up of novellas and probably the strongest one in the Shadowhunter realm. I do think there’s too many writers collabing with Cassandra, some who I just don’t think work. Kelly Link and Sarah Rees Brennan just aren’t for me as writers.
Cast Long Shadows - 3 Stars
A great introduction to Matthew Fairchild but I didn’t like or dislike him. He came across as a bit dramatic for my liking.
Every Exquisite Thing - 4.5 Stars
I love Anna so much, I think they’re bad ass. However, her insta love moments are so tedious and a little pathetic.
Learn About Loss - 2 Stars
Great characters, I love Brother Zachariah and enjoyed Sister Emilia, but the mystery vibe in this novella was terrible.
A Deeper Love - 4 Stars
I enjoyed seeing Tessa and Jem again but honestly Catarina Loss stole it for me. We need more of her.
The Wicked Ones - 4 Stars
I enjoyed seeing the start of The Circle and I really felt for Celine but that girl is so naive and immature. She truly still wants a man who doesn’t want her and sees her as a child.
Son of the Dawn - 5 Stars
I loved every moment of this novella, well written and fast paced. Raphael, lily and Jem? Unexpected but I love it!
The Land I Lost - 4 Stars
This was about 30 pages too long but overall it was a solid novella. Alec and Rafe stole the show.
Through Blood, Through Fire - 4 Stars
Another good novella, I love seeing Tessa and Jem together.
The Lost World - 3 Stars
I honestly can’t lie, I don’t like Livvy. We didn’t get to know her enough in the Dark Artifices for her to make an appearance in here.
Forever Fallen - 3 Stars
So dragged out, I don’t like Janus and don’t understand who he is either. I only read for the Jem and Kit moments.
