Actually a pretty enjoyable read! It was a bit longer than what I usually read and the plot twist was “interesting.” Even though it was a long book, the world building was really well done. An excellent fantasy choice! Clary is kinda dumb and the book leaves a cliffhanger because it’s a series, but that’s really my only critiques.
