I really enjoyed this! Jem is definitely my favorite character in the Shadowhunters Chronicles, so a book about him? Hell yeah!

I loved reading about Jem and Tessa again, and all the other characters who were mentioned. The stories during the same time as The Last Hours also made me very excited for Chain of Gold (which is still on my TBR, but I definitely want to start reading it soon!)

Also, reading about Kit, Ty and Livvy again made me very happy, and I'm also so excited for The Wicked Powers, I can't wait until those books are released!

I wish I had books like this growing up! This was such an amazing book. I loved this

I really enjoyed this! The beginning and ending were real page turners (the middle was still good, but not as exciting). I definitely didn't see the ending coming, I had so many theories and none of them were true. I would definitely recommend this book!

I did not expect to love this book. I definitely didn't expect to love it even more than The Princess Companion.

I absolutely hated Ava in The Princess Companion, so the thought of a book about her? I honestly wasn't sure if I was going to read (well, more like listen because both books I listened to the audiobooks) it. Then I decided, 'why not give it a try'.

Now, I don't give 5 stars to perfect books. I don't believe any book can be perfect. My rating in stars is always a feeling. And I had to give this 5 stars, I loved it so much.

The plot was interesting, and I kept wanting to continue even when it was very late at night and I was sleepy. I LOVED these characters, and pretty soon my hatred for Ava also turned into love. The friendships and romance warmed my heart, and countless times I couldn't stop myself from smiling.

It took me some time to really think about how I felt about this book. At first I wrote a three sentence review, but I don't really like doing those. I want to write a little more so that I can really express my opinion or something.

And honestly, I have mixed feelings about this book. It's not a bad book, and I wouldn't call it boring, but for a big part of the book I did feel something close to bored. Like, it felt like nothing important happened until the end.

It's probably me being used to either reading fantasy books with action, or contemporary books with dramatic storylines. And some books with mystery storylines.

A big part of this book is mostly just day to day life of Lara Jean having a boyfriend, a new soon to be stepmother and two sisters she's close with. It's mostly just her interacting with them, or baking something. There's also the college storyline with a 'plottwist' that I saw coming as soon as the storyline was introduced.

Any problems were solved pretty quickly, and to me it wasn't that satisfying.

I also got a little annoyed by some of the characters. For the first 2 books, I felt 'meh' about Margot, but I really, really disliked her this book. I get where she was coming from, feeling left out, but that's no excuse to act the way she did. She was just disrespectful and annoying.

Lara Jean also got on my nerves sometimes. (Also, I find it a little hypocritical that she got upset about the fact that her dad and Trina didn't want a HUGE party, yet later in the book she talks about not wanting one either, but I guess birthdays and weddings are a lot different so yeah)

I even started to get annoyed by Peter, who I actually really liked.

Honestly, the only characters I wasn't annoyed by this book were Kitty and Trina.

(Also, unrelated to anything I just typed, but for some reason this book series gave me a headache while reading it - maybe it's the lettertype or something, but I only had that with these three books.)

Alright, enough negative stuff, let's move on to positive stuff to say:

• Even though I wasn't a huge fan of this book, I can't say I disliked it. There were fun parts. So maybe I feel neutral about it?
• I really like Lara Jean and Peter together. I also like the characters separately - most of the time.
• There was less of a focus on the baking part, which I was relieved by. Don't get me wrong, baking is fun, but reading about a character bake almost every chapter got a little exhausting (and made me hungry), Lara Jean did some other stuff than baking too. Yay!
• I enjoyed the writing. I never really pay much attention to writing, if I have to be honest. But this was so easy and quick to read. In one day I could read more pages than I normally read in three days. The writing still kept me interested.

I'm not sure if I find it a satisfying ending to the series, I felt like there were still some parts that didn't get an ending (how are they doing with long distance, what happens between Peter and his dad, how does Kitty feel being the only child living at home)

Besides all that, I don't know what else to say - or type.

I didn't enjoy this as much as the first book. While I could not put Scythe away, in Thunderhead I had a few chapters where I didn't really feel like continuing. A lot of things happen, plottwists after plottwists, and normally I like that, but at some point it felt too much. So many things were happening for so long.

But then the ending. Holy shit! I did NOT see that one coming. Wow.

I really enjoyed the characters - except for Goddard. Hated him. Obviously. I did not like that he came back from the dead.

My favorite part of this book was reading from the Thunderhead's perspective. I hope that we will get more of that in the third book!

Alright, where to start?

I have mixed feelings about this book. I didn't hate it or dislike it, but I also didn't like it? I don't know.

I didn't feel much when reading this? I wasn't excited to continue or wanting to know what happens next - though that was mostly because I found the plot really predictable. At the beginning of the book I had already figured out some things that happened in the end.

I also felt like it went really fast? Maybe it's because I'm used to books being 400+ pages, but the problem solving was just... underwhelming? The problem gets introduced and gets bigger for a big part of the book, and then in a few pages it's solved, and not even in a 'wow, so cool' way or anything.

I will try to read the whole series. I've had many times that the first book in a series isn't that great, but the sequel or another part of the series is really good. So I'll give it a chance.

I don't know. For years people have told me how amazing Percy Jackson books are, I expected more. I wasn't that impressed.

Uhm. Wow.

So, I didn't expect to love this, because The Bane Chronicles wasn't exactly a book I enjoyed. I thought, maybe these kind of books - short story collections - aren't for me.

But I was proven wrong. I really enjoyed this book! Of course some story more than another, but unlike The Bane Chronicles, this book did have somewhat the same plot the entire book. And the stories had a purpose. It didn't feel like random useless stories put together.

Once again, Cassandra knows how to break my heart. The second I started Angels Twice Descending, I had a feeling George wouldn't survive. And sadly I was correct. I absolutely adored George, and I was heartbroken that he died.

I also fell more in love with the characters. Any time a character made an appearance, my cheeks hurt from smiling (especially Jem and Tessa, I love them so much!)

Before this book, I didn't care much about Caterina. But now? I love her.

Here are my ratings for each story separately:
Welcome To The Shadowhunter Academy 5/5
The Lost Herondale 4/5
The Whitechapel Friend 5/5
Nothing But Shadows 5/5
The Evil We Love 2/5
Pale Kings and Princes 4/5
Bitter of Tongue 4/5
The Fiery Trial 3/5
Born to Endless Nights 4/5
Angels Twice Descending 5/5

I really enjoyed this! I listened to the audiobook, and I thought it was amazing.

I personally love retellings, even though I haven't read that many yet. I just love the idea.

While I know the basics of The Princess and the Pea, I don't really remember much, so I wasn't sure what to expect when I clicked on this book. I actually thought I wasn't going to like it, but after a few minutes into the audiobook I was sure I was wrong about that.

I listen to audiobooks before I go to sleep, they relax me. And I found myself looking forward to moments where I could continue listening. (And many times I was so excited with the story that it didn't even relax me).

I absolutely adored the main character and love interest. With books, I don't easily get that 'omg I ship it feeling' with couples, as I get with shows or movies. But I definitely had that in this book.

I definitely recommend this book. I can't wait to buy a physical copy and to read the second book.

Oh, wow... Where to start?

I definitely enjoyed this book, but a little less than Lady Midnight and Lord of Shadows. I did not have that 'I can't put it down I need to read more' feeling until the last part of this book. It actually took me months to finish, because sometimes I wouldn't look at it for weeks.

I'm also not the biggest fan of big books. I wouldn't say they literally scare me, but they're intimidating.

But, I still loved this book, the plot and the characters. There were definitely some plottwists that I didn't see coming, like Kieran becoming king and Alicante no longer being the homeland of the Shadowhunters. (I did see the Malec wedding coming because I've seen many spoilers). And I do believe it is a good ending of this series. I will miss these characters so much, and can't wait until that series about Kit and Ty is released (I don't know what it's called, or when it's released, I have only read a little about it.)

The Dark Artifacts is definitely my favorite book series, not only in thr Shadowhunters Chronicles, but in general. I'm sad that I finished it - because it means no more new books. But I will definitely reread them one day.

I don't know what else to say. I just finished it, and I'm still in a 'wow it's finished' phase. Maybe I'll add more details later if I remember anything.
