FINALLY something is happening again!! This book really has no business being 700 pages 😅

I think they're too hard on Charles. He's being blackmailed about his sexuality and they make it seem like it isn't that big of a deal? I mean 100 years or something later Alexander Lightwood is struggling to come out because he's afraid of homophobia among the Shadowhunters. So... It can't be so liberated as they try to make it seem in 1903. He literally says "If I want to do good in the world I can't be gay"

The triangle is triangleing. It makes me so tired and I can't sum up any excitement for any of the pairings. Not when so much important information is kept a secret for no other reason than to create a classic miscommunication trope. 😬 Like please Cassandra Clare, can you solve this so I don't have to read about it for another 500 pages?
