It's weird giving a Cassandra Clare book four stars, especially one with my two favorite characters leading it, but 2020 is a first for everything I suppose. I don't know. I did love this and seeing Magnus and Alec happy and in love and raising a child together is everything I could ever need, but at the same time, I feel like Cassandra Clare is churning out book after book and the quality is suffering. There was just something...off about this. It didn't feel like the normal Shadowhunters books, and maybe that has to do with Wesley Chu co-authoring this (which I still don't fully understand), but maybe not.

Anyway. Moral of the story: I really really enjoyed this but I also know Cassandra Clare can do better than this messy-ish plot and out-of-character dialogue.
