    I totally love CC鈥檚 shadow hunter stories, but I felt that this book was just so, how do I say it, blah! At times I felt like the main character鈥檚 infatuation with each other was emphasized too much. It made it seem like lust rather than love. It was very hard to keep interest.. This series is falling short from how well she can write and that鈥檚 saying a lot because I loved her last shadow hunter series! I鈥檓 starting to think twice about even starting the 3rd book..
  • Very good

    It was a very good book, but there was a sort of slow chunk in the middle that took me a while to get through.
  • Half a story. Save your money for a full book.

    For the cost of this book you鈥檙e going to get half a story. This ends in a cliff hanger.
  • Just a bunch of babysitting and rubbish

    I just loved the mortal instruments, and the infernal devices, all brilliant. However I had to force myself to read this book and lady midnight. I feel like it was just a smash of all the characters.... and to much children and everyone did nothing but babysit.
