This book had even more drama and action than the previous book. There was still so much tension between Jace and Clary. I once again felt bad for them and Simon.

There were a lot of people that I didn't like in this story such as the new inquisitor and "Sebastian."

It was interesting to learn some more backstory that explained things better such as how Jace and Clary's powers came to be.

There were also a few surprising moments such as what happened to Max and who the prisoner turned out to be.

I was so happy that things were resolved between Jace and Clary for now.

I did not however see the whole Sebastian thing coming. I knew something was off about him, but I didn't expect him to be Valentine's actual son and for him to kill Max.
