This book disappointed me greatly. I was expecting to go into another adventure, but we got a filler book. Now there is nothing wrong with filler novels, but this one irritated me. Don't get me wrong, I liked this book, however I am tired of Clary and Jace drama. They want each other when they cannot have each other, but are pissed at each other when they can have each other. I enjoyed the backstory and introduction of Jordan, and Simon dealing with everything, but again the whole Maia, Isabelle, and Simon drama annoyed me. I really did like then ending of the story, the climax was executed well. Cassandra Clare's writing style is growing. Overall, this novel should of been a fun filler book, but what it was was petty relationship drama, with a climatic ending. Despite all of this, I did enjoy this novel, but was just disappointed.
