the plot is very similar to the previous book, with the repetition of jace Going Through It and in consequence, clary as well. i did like the development in

her and jonathan’s relationship

, and clary’s character development; she’s more confident of her shadowhunter abilities. could not care less about maia/jordan plot, they truly weren’t doing anything with purpose. upon reread i’ve realised this is a very filler book, with stagnant characters and a trickling plot.
