3.5

I feel like having Clary, Jace, Isabelle, and Simon join the trip really slowed the story down because they constantly had to be saved. Simon was ultimately useless throughout the entire book. Some things also seemed to happen randomly and the big reveal just kind of fizzled out at the end. The scenes with Alec and Magnus as a family were my favorite and the extra scene featuring Tessa and Jem was so cute. Clearly my bias and love for Magnus and Jem is still strong after all these years.
