I just can't call this story anything else than epic. Valentine's Circle in action! Jocelyn's interaction with Magnus and Tessa! Little Clary! This just had it all!

"I can get Ragnor to help me."
"Ragnor's in Peru" said Catarina. "He says he finds it very peaceful without your accursed presence, and that's a direct quote."

Again we're reminded of the first chapter [b: What Really Happened in Peru|17334079|What Really Happened in Peru (The Bane Chronicles, #1)|Cassandra Clare|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1366745722s/17334079.jpg|22634595] and Magnus's banishment. I can't say anything against this. I just love it!!!

"I am fighting for a better world for myself and my son," said the woman called Maryse.
"I have no interest in the world you want," Magnus told her. "Or in your doubtless repellent brat, I might add."

Yeah, sure.*says sarcastically with a devilish shipper's smile*. But really, I laughed for several minutes after reading this part :D :D :D

Clary espied Magnus's poor cat. The Great Catsby, who was getting on in years, lay prone upon a velvet cushion, his fluffy gray tail spilling over it.

Of course that before Chairman Meow couldn't be anyone else than the Great Catsby! It would be a crime if Magnus didn't think of some clever cute name for his cats.
