Sadly my faves spent most of the book acting in ways I didn't appreciate.. So much so that that even became their only feature during this finale (which tends to happen when you have so many characters). For that reason, I didn't enjoy reading it as much as the previous books.

Taking Julian's feelings away means taking away what I love most about this trilogy.
Making Kit stand by and do nothing for most of the book when the guy he cares for most is doing dumb shit (out of grief so I don't blame him), now that made me angry. My fave can't stay my fave if he doesn't do anything interesting.

What I love about this trilogy though, and the reason it is CC's best work imo, is the love these characters all have for each other. And I'm not talking romantic love but family love and friendship. They're like this one big faintly who have gone through a lot but they're there for each other. That's beautiful.

I honestly think I'm done with CC and the Shadowhunter universe now.
You can't keep adding tiny twists at the end of each series just to make readers read the next book you'll come up with.
