4。5 ， I love these characters。 The reason it isn't a 5 star for me is bc I know there's no real danger for them bc they have other books and series to be in。 I read it for the characters honestly。 4。5 ， I love these characters。 The reason it isn't a 5 star for me is bc I know there's no real danger for them bc they have other books and series to be in。 I read it for the characters honestly。 。。。more

For someone like me， who has all the Shadowhunters books and loves them， I was very surprised to find this book so tedious and slow to read。 I love Magnus and Alec but everything in this book was soooo slow that I left it twice and almost didn’t finish it。

Gay Pride ！Leuk boek als één van vele uit een serie van veel boeken die deze schrijfster over dit onderwerp schreef， hoewel dit deel een is van de nieuwe serie。 Wat dit boek zo bijzonder maakt is dat er （voor mij voor het eerst） iets geschreven wordt voor jongeren die in een boek een rolmodel zoeken en kunnen vinden die op hen gelijkt。 De meeste boeken die over homoseksualiteit bij jongeren gaan， hebben altijd een diep dramatische en/of problematische inslag。 Maar in dit boek speelt dat nauwelij Gay Pride ！Leuk boek als één van vele uit een serie van veel boeken die deze schrijfster over dit onderwerp schreef， hoewel dit deel een is van de nieuwe serie。 Wat dit boek zo bijzonder maakt is dat er （voor mij voor het eerst） iets geschreven wordt voor jongeren die in een boek een rolmodel zoeken en kunnen vinden die op hen gelijkt。 De meeste boeken die over homoseksualiteit bij jongeren gaan， hebben altijd een diep dramatische en/of problematische inslag。 Maar in dit boek speelt dat nauwelijks een rol， hoewel Alec， één van de hoofdrolspelers， zich er soms wel zorgen over maakt hoe zijn vader zijn seksuele gerichtheid zal kunnen accepteren。 Maar zelfs dát is herkenbaar。 Voor de rest gaat het over （super）helden die ook toevallig homoseksueel zijn in een fantasyroman。 Hoe verkwikkend， hoe vernieuwend is dat ？！ Werden er maar （veel meer！） verhalen zo geschreven。 Ik las dit boek in de Pride week en zie deze boeken （er volgen meer delen over dit vriendenkoppel） als een hoopvol teken voor de toekomst。 En dat er maar snel Poolse， Hongaarse， Iraanse， Arabische en Afrikaanse vertalingen morgen volgen ！！ 。。。more

Jazmin ，

Me encanta leer la relación de Malec， aunque el plot general no me causo tanto interes。 Siento que si lo hubiera leido sin saber nada de los libros siguientes a Ciudad de cristal， me hubiera gustado muchisimo más。

Camila Wanderley ，

this was fun

Carocienta ，

No sabia que extrañaba tanto a Magnus y Alec hasta que leí esto。 Esta lectura es para fans del Malec， para disfrutar los incios de su relación， ver sus temores y morir de amor con ellos。

Perfect book of make believe when life is stressful

Horrible。 Diálogos infantiles y narraciones vacías。 Puff， de pronto a los adolescentes les guste。 Pero definitivamente aburridor。

I had no idea what to expect going into this， but I really really enjoyed it。 I loved having Magnus and Alec as the protagonists （seriously， the number of times I had to stop for a few minutes to appreciate how much I love Alec was a little insane。。。） and the story was so much fun and genuinely heartwarming。 Also， I loved getting to see more of Helen and Aline and how their story began！ Absolutely looking forward to diving into the next book with these two。

*4，5Esse e o primeiro livro da Cassandra Clare que não me irrita， eu sei que a historia não e tão complexa e cheio de camadas como Instrumentos Mortais e Peças Infernais， mas eu gostei demais， tem uma narrativa rápida e muito gostosa de acompanhar。 Malec e simplesmente tudo。

Micah ，

Solid story and action sequence I do love to see the development of young queer love stories with the mystery and fantasy elements of the shadow hunter world。

As a huge fan of both Magnus and Alec， I couldn’t wait to read this book。 And what a magical book it is！ The cover itself is stunning and so is the story。 I loved it so much and I couldn’t stop reading。 It’s amazing to see Magnus and Alec living together and I adore their relationship so much。 Another great thing is that Helen and Aline were also in the book。 Two gay couples: Who doesn’t love that？！ However， I need to add that the story is quite predictable， which makes it a little less exciting As a huge fan of both Magnus and Alec， I couldn’t wait to read this book。 And what a magical book it is！ The cover itself is stunning and so is the story。 I loved it so much and I couldn’t stop reading。 It’s amazing to see Magnus and Alec living together and I adore their relationship so much。 Another great thing is that Helen and Aline were also in the book。 Two gay couples: Who doesn’t love that？！ However， I need to add that the story is quite predictable， which makes it a little less exciting。 But nevertheless it was a story I strongly enjoyed and especially if you’re a Malec fan: read this book！ 。。。more

2。5 stars Ehhhh。 Maybe I would like this if I read it physically and didn’t listen to it？？ I also dislike the narrator I have such a hard time not tuning out from deep voices。 It was a ~10 hour audiobook that I listened too between 2。5x and 3x speed so it only took me 4-5ish hours but it was over three days cuz I wasn’t feeling it。 I loved these characters in the mortal instruments series but really just did not like this and it was really disappointing cuz I anticipated it as a 4。5/5 star read 2。5 stars Ehhhh。 Maybe I would like this if I read it physically and didn’t listen to it？？ I also dislike the narrator I have such a hard time not tuning out from deep voices。 It was a ~10 hour audiobook that I listened too between 2。5x and 3x speed so it only took me 4-5ish hours but it was over three days cuz I wasn’t feeling it。 I loved these characters in the mortal instruments series but really just did not like this and it was really disappointing cuz I anticipated it as a 4。5/5 star read :/ 。。。more

Okay so I gave this book 4。7 stars even though it might deserve more but nonetheless， I loved it so much。 Endless Malec content？ Sign me up。 Their relationship development was so well written and not rushed， the chemistry， the connection， THE HUMOUR。 Magnus never disappoints with the sarcastic comebacks and sassy comments。 Alec is a precious bean who is also an incredible character。 I love them both so much and I'm so glad they got their own series， to tell a story of an epic ride of love， trust Okay so I gave this book 4。7 stars even though it might deserve more but nonetheless， I loved it so much。 Endless Malec content？ Sign me up。 Their relationship development was so well written and not rushed， the chemistry， the connection， THE HUMOUR。 Magnus never disappoints with the sarcastic comebacks and sassy comments。 Alec is a precious bean who is also an incredible character。 I love them both so much and I'm so glad they got their own series， to tell a story of an epic ride of love， trust and loyalty。 ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT HELEN AND ALINE MEETING DIWNQKQJEBFJ I'M OBSESSEDHELL YES I'M READING THE SECOND BOOK 。。。more

It's a decent de-stress book。 And the plot does suck you in。But there seem to be some inconsistencies with what happened in the Mortal Instruments so that's a bit weird。 It's a decent de-stress book。 And the plot does suck you in。But there seem to be some inconsistencies with what happened in the Mortal Instruments so that's a bit weird。 。。。more

Coleccionista de finales tristes ，

Me hice de este libro porque me encantó la trilogía de los orígenes sin embargo este libro ha sido una decepción 。 Lo cual se agradece porque así no leeré los más de 20 libros de la autora

Synne ，

i don’t think i could possibly explain the love i feel for malec。 they mean so much to me and i love that we finally got to hear this story。 it took me a second to get used to it after tda， but going back to the tmi timeline was so much fun！！ all the cameos， helen and aline’s backstory… my heart is full。 i also laughed out loud on multiple occasions because magnus bane is just too funny and the banter in here is pure gold。

Es un libro bastante interesante， debemos partir por el hecho de que no soy la más grande fan de Malec， sí me gusta y me agradan los dos， pero no son mis personajes favoritos。 Ahora creo que es interesante pues es un libro que tiene mucho fan service， pues todo el mundo estaba esperando este tipo de historias， y viendo de un punto un poco más objetivo que una fan， creo que es un buen libro， si bien a mi parecer no es lo mejor que ha hecho la autora sí es una historia muy buena con personajes div Es un libro bastante interesante， debemos partir por el hecho de que no soy la más grande fan de Malec， sí me gusta y me agradan los dos， pero no son mis personajes favoritos。 Ahora creo que es interesante pues es un libro que tiene mucho fan service， pues todo el mundo estaba esperando este tipo de historias， y viendo de un punto un poco más objetivo que una fan， creo que es un buen libro， si bien a mi parecer no es lo mejor que ha hecho la autora sí es una historia muy buena con personajes divertido y con un desarrollo。 Me agrada que se toma la trama principal por otro lado， que no todo se basa en la relación de Malec， y eso es asombroso。 Me gustan todos los cameos increíbles de los personajes que salen en este libro， además de que salen por una razón y solo por que sí。 Es asombroso como seguimos hilos de historias pasadas y hace la pena que lo leas sabiendo todas esas referencias。 Una de las cosas que más me gustó es que son libros más cortos de lo normal para Cassandra Clare， pero son equivalentes a un tamaño normal de libro， así que es bastante fácil de leer sin mucha preocupación。 No siento que le falten páginas， y tampoco que le sobren， tiene el número perfecto。 La historia es atrapante desde el principio y el fin， aunque debo decir que me faltó algo más， pues a la mitad del libro me daba un poco de flojera seguirlo， perdía un poco el interés， pero al final me volvió a atrapar。 Una de mis cosas favoritas es leer esos finales de infarto con revelaciones que la autora siempre hace para engancharte y dejarte queriendo leer el siguiente。 ¿Pudo ser mejor？ Puede ser， pero no me quejo en lo absoluto。 。。。more
