I really did like this read. I actually prefer book 2 to the first book in this series. I really loved how we got the OG shadowunter gang back for this read. I also loved how to explored a time period that we have not seen before directly after simon time in the shadow hunter academy. I was much more invested in the mystery this time. This book def made me smile but it is also super funny. I really liked how this story built magnus and alec realtionship. I also like how this book forced Mangus to use a team and really loved the setting. I also really liked the villain and loved how magnus past was also at the heart of it. I can't wait for book 3.
