Clary and Jace's story was PHENOMENAL.

I think I am fighting too hard to like this book.

Maybe Clare just can't write characters from scratch in novella's very well because Emma and Julian's story so far is the style and quality I am used to...who knows.

I love Anna, but its sad the most romancy story thus far us the lesbian couple. *shakes head*

I have a feeling only two of these are going to be good. *sighs*

That story makes this whole book worth it.

Finally, a good story. THIS is the author I love. Lucien is making my heart do things. *Adoring eyes*

I think I hate this book, which is a shock. The only CC book I have hated was an info book on how she wrote the Shadowhunter books and that was only because she bashed God.

But this one? The writing is horrifying. I am not exaggerating; it is literally horrifying. Like I am actually cringing. What the heck happened???????

"Some stories are simple. They begin at the beginning and proceed, one reasonable plot turn after another, straight through to happily ever after. Some start in the middle, a jumble of confusion, and puzzle themselves out as they go. Some, of course, are cut short before they have a chance to resolve. And perhaps there is no greater tragedy than the story left untold."

Yes its lacking and obviously a money grab, but I still enjoyed it.
