This is the first book I've read from Maggie Stiefvater and I really didn't know what to expect going in. I've owned this book for a solid 5 years and I've just never read it because I thought I wouldn't like it...damn I'm so happy I didn't unhaul the series!! 

It was so amazing and heartbreaking and I couldn't put it down for long periods of time because I just kept wanting to read it! I'm in love with Sam and Grace and the ending just I'm so shook. The whole last 1/4 of the book was so heartbreaking I'm not okay. 

Such an easy 5*'s, I haven't loved a book this much in a long time, and when I say loved I mean I loved every page! 

I'm literally picking up the next book right now off my shelves, I'm so in love!

I loved this! It's been on my tbr for literal years and I knew what to expect (kinda) from seeing the movie but I wasn't disappointed. 

I really loved where they took the storyline and I'm so ready for the rest of the series. I love Lena and Ethan so much omg, and despite it being a 500ish page book I wasn't bored at any point. Honestly, I loved every minute and I even switched between physical and the audiobook so I could keep reading whilst doing college work. 

The audiobook for this was sooo good! The narrator and the sound effects really added to the story and made it super exciting, I hope I can get a hold of the other 3 audiobooks for the rest of the series.

Easy 4 stars! I can't wait to get to Beautiful Darkness!

I...I'm...oh my Gods. 5*'s! All the stars! The end of the last story just I'm almost in tears ahhh! 

This was such a good bind up I'm so happy I finally read these short stories! Simon has always been one of my favourite characters and just reading about him at the academy made me so happy, I'm so content my heart is full, Sizzy has sailed again...ugh! 

I can't think of a single story in this that I didn't like, I loved the back story and all of the character development so much (Malec oh my Gods). 

I just have Lord of Shadows to read now and I'm all caught up with Cassandra Clare!

Okay well I didn't finish it...more like...read 200 pages and got bored. (I wouldn't have got that far if it wasn't for listening to the audiobook in the car this morning!) 

Idk it just wasn't engaging me and I didn't really care by the 150 mark. I don't know if I would have enjoyed it more if I read it before seeing the movie or what but hey I tried! 

So yeah 2 stars, just because I didn't really like it but not 1 because I didn't finish it you know? I can however safely say I won't be going back to it any time soon to finish it off

Oh my God this was so good!! I didn't expect to love this series so much right now but this was so much better than book 1! 

I'm still rooting for Arsinoe but I have a soft spot for Mirabella and I really can't wait for the next book to release! Ahhhh I hope the UK cover is as pretty as this one! 

This one was just so much more action packed than the last one and so much was going on and I loved every minute! I listened to the audiobook for this and the narrator did a wonderful job too which I think really added to the experience. 

Easily one of the best series I've read this year to be honest totally recommend! 

Now I gotta figure out what to read next to follow that :')

I'd been dreading reading this for ages because I'm usually not a fan of short stories but this was good! I'm not the biggest Magnus fan either but I feel like I have a new appreciation for him idk...

I loved the stories with Raphael in and literally any one with Tessa (bc if you don't know she is my queeeeeeen) 

Granted one or two of the stories were a bit boring or pointless in places  *cough* what really happened in Peru *cough* but overall I enjoyed this!

Wow apparently I forgot to review this as soon as I finished it but oh my god was it incredible! I can't believe I left the series on my shelves for so long without reading them...I feel so accomplished to have them read! 

This was just an amazing finale to the series! One of the rare endings where I feel content and don't need another 10594939 books. I just love this series a lot now I've read it and it's totally one of my favourites. 

I'm gonna have to watch all the movies again now that I've read them so that's exciting!!

Again 4*'s! I loved this so much! (I feel like it would have been 5 if I hadn't've seen the movie first bc I wouldn't know what was comingggg) 

But yeah I listened to it whilst doing annotations today and it was actually so motivating. 

Also can I just...omg Finnick I love him :')

After being on my tbr for literally 7 years I've finally reread it 😂👏🏻 

I liked it more than I thought I would, I thought I'd still like the movies more but they're pretty equal. 

4*'s easy! I listened to the audiobook on the bus to and from class so it was easy to finish it in a day

I had to think about it but I'm gonna go with 4*'s (it's more like an almost but eh) 

I'd been putting off this book for ages because I wasn't a fan of the writing style but I decided to just try it out today and ended up reading the whole thing! The plot was really interesting and I'm planning on starting book 2 in the next few days. 

I think I'm definitely rooting for Arsinoe but I love the other sisters too so I'm scared how it's gonna go!!
