I love Alec and Magnus, they have so much depth and they’re funny and they made me feel something. Truly a good book, even though I almost wish it was less plot-focused at times.

It’s genuinely quite boring and dry. I adored Magnus and Alec though, who carried the entire book for me and made me give it those 3,25 stars.

Honestly, I didn‘t really like the plot or the characters, but I‘m super invested in Magnus and Alec (they’re both amazing characters). I just hope that the series improves.
