"As I said, love the series and loved the first book of this one as well. Though the second was twice as good as the first. It made me die from cuteness and sadness, and a bunch of other feelings. Alec and Magnus's love is so create, if they combine talents they can do anything and change anything. I recommend this book to anyone."

"This book overall was an okay book. I enjoyed the end more than the rest of the book though. I have finally caught up with all of the Cassandra Clare books. I am looking forward to the rest of this series, the Last Hours series, and The Wicked Powers series."

"Narration of the audio book is so painful, but the story is worth it! Definitely recommend if you want the gaps filled between the original series and the sequel series - or if you just need more Malec in your life!"

"Yes! After I listened to literally every shadow. Hunter book on audible 3 times (yes really) I went hunting for other urban or contemporary fantasy with good queer representation. (High fantasy is growing on me too). Anyways, if you haven't read (or adubled) A Dark and Hollow Star by Ashley Shuttle worth (they/them). It was a fantastic read with deapthy characters. We are talking Fae and other Fairies in Toronto present day. Good conflict and a sequel on the way. "
