I'm going to be honest: this was not perfect. But, since all I was expecting was pure Malec fluff and hilarious banter, I wasn't disappointed, and that's why it's still 5 stars to me. Yes, it's clear that Cassandra Clare is just churning out books at this point (because I see a clear quality difference between previous books and QoAaD and RSoM). Not to mention, the stakes in this aren't high because we all know Magnus and Alec live to tell the tale! They're in The Dark Artifices, the rest of the TMI trilogy, and whatnot. So...in that sense, it wasn't frightening or worrisome, but it showed how strong their love is.

Lastly, before this turns into the full review I intend to write at a later date, I'd like to say that Magnus and Alec give me hope for my personal future. They remind me that love exists even when everyone is fighting against it, and to me, that's pretty dang beautiful.
