I am SO glad I read this! Although some of these stories felt not necessarily "useless" to me, but it was stories that I just didn't have much of an emotional connection to and I think that with these stories especially, it banks on an emotional connection. For the stories that I loved, it was both in story concept but also in the fact that it toyed with my heart in ways I wasn't expecting. I loved being able to see different timelines and different family lines in a way that helped connect events from TID and TMI, as well as set up some of the plot for TDA! A great way to really bridge over the stories to help get invested!

George and Simon are everything. I think with this being Simon Lewis' crazy adventure following the events of TMI, he really did deserve someone as fantastic as George. Am I surprised with what Cassie did? NOT AT ALL. Am I still emotional as can be? Yes, absolutely. But once again, I'm so pleased with this set of stories and cannot wait to continue with the Shadowhunter world soon.
