I stopped reading this earlier this year, certain that I needed to first read The Bane Chronicles and Tales From Shadowhunter Academy.

I was right. Reading it from the start after those two really helps this book come alive. Cassandra Clare has her detractors, her flaws too. But the writing here shows so much improvement. Watching her skill as a writer and storyteller grow book after book after book has been fun!

Cassandra Clare improves her prose with every single book. The best writing I've read yet of hers. Enjoying the kind-of-new cast. I don't feel guilty for loving these books anymore.
