Oh, my beloved Sizzy dose.
Also Robert????? Michael?????? Hello????? Why are you such a prick???? Now I really appreciate Jace and Izzy more, since it could've gone wrong in so many ways.

To be honest, I really don't care one bit for Robert Lightwood or how the whole Circle started up. We learned about it in TMI, I don't need to be reminded of it again. But Simon's part was fun!

I enjoyed this and liked seeing Roberts view on Valentine and the circle. I feel like I do understand him a bit more but I still don't like him. But I love Michael. And seeing the circle young was really cool.
And Sizzy. I love them and I am so happy izzy stood up for herself and ah so good. - May 18 2017

I liked that this series of stories had smaller stories about the past as the forefront, then Simon's experience as the overarching plot. The similarities between the two timelines was good. Isabelle was annoying but I understood why, and I never thought I'd find Simon so boring! Once again, Valentine was despicable but Robert was also awful.

Honestly after about halfway through I skim read the Robert - circle parts , it just was too slow . I enjoyed the sizzy bits but this is definitely my least favourite so far

I LOVED LOVED LOVED LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE CIRCLE AND MEETING THE YOUNG CIRCLE MEMBERS!!! It just made me so excited. This was my most anticipated novella out of all ten and it didn't let me down! Being from Robert's perspective was also really enjoyable because I feel like all through TMI not much was really learned about him.
I was very confused with what was up with Izzy too. I actually thought she'd gone off the rocker a bit, to be honest. I liked how it was all a lesson though. It's a lesson that resonates into the real world too, not just in stories. I think that it's a very important lesson to learn and I'm glad it was both part of the plot and served an important lesson for the readers and the characters.
On to number 6!

I'm just glad Robert Lightwood is really trying to fix things with Alec and Izzy. They deserve that at least.

Me gustó pero fue como fastidioso.
Don't hate.
En The Evil We Love le echamos un vistazo al Circulo en sus inicios desde el punto de vista de un personaje en el que poco nos hemos adentrado: Robert Lightwood.
Particularmente Robert nunca ha sido un personaje que me llamase la atención. Siempre me pareció medio jackass con varios personajes incluyendo Alec y después de todo el drama que hubo con Maryse no creo que se encontrase entre los personajes favoritos de muchos.
También había oído los rumores sobre su parabatai Michael... Y son verdad.
De todas formas Robert sigue siendo un personaje meh.
Pero llega a la Academia junto con Izzy para hablarles del Circulo. Siendo honesta me pareció brillante el plan. Que Izzy crease un grupo desafiando las reglas hasta el punto de ser peligroso para demostrar como seguir a alguien a ciegas es estúpido y bueno... Peligroso.
Hey, no esta mal. El colectivo es estúpido. Demostraron el punto porque vemos como la fe ciega que el Círculo tenia en Valentine empezó, como una sola persona podía manipular tan bien a otras alimentándose de sus temores y deseos. Todos sabemos como terminó el Círculo.
Me sorprendió el hecho de que ya Simon estuviese terminando su primer año en la Academia. Después recordé que el iba a estar dos años allí antes de Ascender y se que ese es el tema del último relato asi que 5 relatos sobre el primer año y 5 sobre el segundo.
Funciona para mi. Veamos que nos depara el segundo año en la Academia.

Finally, finally we have some extra content about the circle. I always wanted to know more about it and how everything worked and how the relationships were. This was amazing and not at all like I would have expected!
