“There was a lightness in Jem's chest that Jem realised, finally, was joy... The face of the one you love is the best mirror of all. It shows you your own happiness and your own pain and it helps you bear both, because to bear either alone is to be overwhelmed by the flood.”


This is going to be a super short review because I skimmed nearly 80% of this, apart from the very start and the very end. I genuinely couldn't tell you the concrete plot of this; Jem is going to a carnival with an Iron Sister for some reason and there's a demon, I guess.

I was bored for almost all of this, hence the skimming. BUT the reason why this is a 2 instead of a 1 is because of that end scene involving Jem and Will. It was so sweet and I genuinely got really emotional reading it. Unfortunately, it's only a couple pages and the rest made me want to cry from boredom.
