Okay because actually what was that????
For all the on screen traumas she put these characters through, she seemed to just want to… resolve and “heal” those characters off screen and then be like “they’re okay now!”. 
I stopped reading right after

Christopher’s death

. But decided to actually DNF after seeing a spoiler online (

about Matthew leaving James

). 
To be completely honest, I did not enjoy The Dark Artifices and almost gave up on this author after them, but decided to give The Last Hours a try because I loved The Infernal Devices. But, I am no longer the 11 year old that started these books, and Judith’s inability to keep me invested in the characters that are “important” (or survive) is something I’m not sure I can overlook anymore. I truly may not read The Wicked Powers because of this, and will be reading the wiki page synopsis for the end of this book now. 
Maybe someday I will pick up this ebook again and finish the book (and be mad about it) just to have it marked as completed on my Shadowhunters reading challenge, but fuck Judith fr fr.
