Bought without knowing author nor the book. Caught my eye and glad it did. Loved the characters and plot.

Absorbing first book in series.

Honestly, this book has been pretty hard to get through. I’m a pretty loyal Cassandra Clare fan and have high hopes for anything she puts out, but I’m about half way through this book and am not sure I will finish it. There is lots of world building and flickers of what I think might be “the good part” but then it just doesn’t happen. I would like to complete this series so will probably pick the book up again once the next one comes out.

The only flaw this book has is that the storry doesn't pick up fast enough. Plus, the book ends at a really bad time.

I’m 50% through it and nothing has happened. I really want to love this book but it is so incredibly slow. You can kind of tell where it’s leading to but there’s so little action and so much repetitive character building. I hope it gets better.
