Finally starting my reread of this universe and it’s the exact thing I needed to help snap me out of a reading slump! 

Admittedly, some of the characters irritated me a little more than before, but this is my least favorite book of the series so I knew it may not hit quite the same as before. 

I still don’t forgive Cassandra Clare for the incest plot line though 😤

I was slightly skeptical of how they would handle the “pandemic” aspect of the plot, but with the addition of some of the other plot points, it managed to give it a different feel than Covid.

At first, I was a little annoyed with the FMC and the way she seemed to be very naive but then they do a really good job of showing why she acts this way and how brainwashed she became from all of the time spent in the cult.

I really enjoyed the FMC’s character growth by the end and I’m looking forward to the second book!!

I just can’t right now. It’s putting me into a reading slump 😑
