This book was so good! I started reading it shortly after I decided to join Emma's read along for 2018. It was a goal of mine to finally give the shadowhunter world a chance as I heard so many great things about it.

I swear I rarely read this fast. usually it takes me 1 or 2 weeks to finish a book but this one got me captivated. Every chance I got I pulled out my book and continued. Which ended in me finishing it within 3 days 😄

The world of this book was absolutely fastinating. I loved reading all about it and get to know the basics of it. It is a world a happily go back to in a week to read the second book.

I loved the characters! Especially Jase and Magnus. Simon was very fun to read and I can't wait to get to know Isabell and Alec better in the next book. Valentine was a very interesting character too. So far we only realy heard stories about him being bad and haven't really truly seen it live. I believe we'll get to know him better in future books as well, which will be really interesting considering the 'conection' he has with Jase and Clary.

The story itself was really good! So much was going on in that book too. I wouldn't have guessed that so much happenes in the first book alone.
The twist in the end was... shocking. I honestly wouldn't have predicted that. I wonder how Jase and Clary will handle that in tge future books. It's a pitty as I really loved seeing them together. I think they had great chemestry. Can't wait to find out in the next book 😄

All in all I'm fascinated by this book. I'm really glad I read it!
