This was such a great reread (that i started in february and had on pause for literally 9 months) and so well-deserving of the four stars I gave it my previous reread.
It's fun and exciting, and I had forgotten so many small things that I'm so happy to be caught up on again! Can't wait to get into the next one soon. I just love this series and I hope everyone who reads it enjoys it as much as I do. Totally worth the reread, it's been four years and I was in desperate need to freshen up my knowledge on this book. Most of what I remembered came from the book or TV show and they can only get the big plot points in there. I just totally blocked out how rude Isabelle was to Clary for a big chunk of this book lmao. One of many things I had totally forgotten.

And honestly, I love Jace. I can never not love Jace. I just love him. He's awesome, he's funny, he's badass, and I love him.

An absolutely wonderful and insightful read. Took me a long while but I got there in the end. What I particularly liked was that the book was written by a British author and focused mainly on British issues. It's not something I've really considered much, but there is a vast difference between the racism in America and the racism in my own country. And though I'm not British, the racism problems Britain is facing come much closer to the ones in Denmark.
It was delightfully well written and well structured. I don't really know how to rate non-fiction books, but it was great. I really enjoyed reading it.

HOLY SHIT. I MEAN, HOLY FUCKING SHIT. 
I can't even begin to describe my feelings for this book. This SERIES. 
~speechless~
This series deserves all of the love it gets. It deserves all of the hype. It deserves everything. 
This book deserves all of the things, too. Because god-damn. And that epilogue as well. 
I am honestly so incredibly pumped for The Cursed Child because the five page preview I got of these kids was fantastic, and I don't think I will care about format or authors or whatever, because I just want more. 
Holy. Shit.
Harry Potter is life, man.

Holy fucking shit. The first was good but this one was amazing!!!!!!!!!!! So much developement with the characters, and I just love this team to bits oh my god. I need air because I cannot breathe with how much I love them. 
Something I noticed all the books are missing is trigger warnings, which I guess I can knock down to the fact that the series was released around 6 years ago. But these are characters dealing with A LOT of trauma, like they are so traumatized that when they traumatize each other it is a bonding experience. That's where we're at here. 
I couldn't believe what Andrew had been willing to live with, I could not believe it, I was so shocked. It was traumatizing simply to read. 
Neil really steps up in this book, he finds a home with his team and it's just wonderful. A girl should have known with that good a situation, things were bound to go gravely wrong at the end. 
The abuse is outstanding. I mean that in a bad way, like it is actually insane. These people are insane. You wouldn't believe the shit that happened. I am just- like shit. Everything has gone to shit! Will be continuuing immediately.

2.5 stars
There was so much potential for this storyline, but it kind of fell flat for me. I didn't connect with the characters as much as I would have liked, and I think that was mainly because of the way it was written, which, to be frank, wasn't very well. I don't know if the version was just a sort of arc or something, but there were so many mistakes, missing words, etc. Another thing was that, while I actually did like the main character, I found that she made so many stupid decisions! And instead of talking about stuff she just ran, and I know that it was like a whole thing in the book, this “Fight or flight” thing, but she had promised him AND herself that she wouldn't leave and of course, she did and for the one chapter she was away from him, she did nothing but talk about how much she loved him. WHY. WHY. WHY. The epilogue was odd as well because it was suddenly from Remy's POV, and to be completely honest, I felt like the romance was very much lust and not love, that we were told they loved each other and not showed so much.
Just eh. Wished it was better.

This had elements I liked much better than the first book and elements I liked much less. So it was weird combo, inevitably ending with the same rating though.
I thoroughly enjoy Callum every single time he's there, he gets better and better with every chapter. I didn't love Libby's story, and Nico and Reina's spat seemed odd and out of place. I loved Tristan coming into himself more, but as a character he's still wildly annoying. I definitely wanted more of Parisa in this one, but I was glad that we at least got more of Gideon, who is such a joy. 
I don't know that I really like the overall plot, I think it is going in a direction that I worry can only leave me disappointed because of how vast the point of contention is. It's like waging war on the world - it always ends in disappointment. 

Started out being too much like PLL and GG, but it got better wheb things turned more serious. I really liked how queer it was, and I liked that Devon and Chiamaka were had such clearly different black experiences and backgrounds, but obviously still had so many other common experiences too. It led to a great nuance, and made it easy to tell from the writing alone who was telling the story in the chapters.

Aw, this was so great! The build on what happened with the characters in the last book was so lovely, I loved seeing them all get their act together 😂
Simon and Baz were soooooo cute in this one and I love everything that happened between the two and how they finally evolved their relationship. 
I just really enjoyed it overall tbh! The beginning was a bit rough - emotionally - and that was really hard but it led us somewhere lovely that I wouldn't want without. 
I was a bit confused about why the epilogue was what it was, but maybe that's just me. I don't think it was necessary, I guess, idk. 
But I loved all the plot points, Penny and Shep's chapters were funny, Simon and Baz had a lot of emotional ones, and Agatha's were more neutral, and she's generally my least favorite narrator, but her chapters were still interesting enough. Maybe it's just that Agatha's story seems both at a stand-still as well as being unrelated to her plot arc from the previous books. Idk. 
Overall, it was really good 😍❤️

This was wonderful and great and despite the ending so incredibly cute at times that it was hard to handle.
I just thought it was fucking great.

SpoilerBut can we just talk about the three words Eleanor wrote on the postcard??? I'm thinking maybe it's I miss you but it could also be I love you because she never tells him that throughout the book, but I just don't know and I just ?????
