What a trilogy opener! The Shadowhunter World fits so well into the Victorian London, the vibes were immaculate. Definitely stronger than City of Bones: While I was entertained during TMI (The Mortal Instruments), TID (The Infernal Devices) just hit different. It was more complex, the pacing was on point and the writing was way better. This time, the love triangle is more natural and subtle while still being angsty and intense. I do have to criticize some character´s behaviour which was unrealistc and felt a bit stiff. Looking forward to Clockwork Prince!
