- So apparently I have some kind of memory loss because I remember the characters, dear god I can still feel all the things I felt when I first read this 6 years ago but I remember nothing when it comes to what happened so I decided that it's a great time to reread the whole series of books ( when instead I should be working on my graduation project and final exams but here I am). I am never one to reread books but I am literally experiencing what everybody is wishing for which is to forget a book so you can reread it again. So yeah Imma be rereading book for the rest of the year because what's better to do .... Needless to say, the things this trio makes me feel. I literally was two chapters in and I was crying because again the feelings and sadness were there.. deep down but I have no idea what would happen... Conclusion, my liking for this book was not because of my teenage years thank god
- I had such high expectations for this book, seeing as pretty much everyone seems to love it. And I tried to like it... But I really disliked this book! The story and the characters are the same from the mortal instruments series. Even the secrets and the danger where the same... The whole time as I was reading this, I felt like i'd already read this story... And it definitely did not feel like the 19th century... at all. This was a huge dissapointment.
- Oh, dear. I can't describe how I felt when I heard there was a prequel series to the Mortal Instruments. I love Jem. I feel so bad for him, though. He has to live with his disease forever and if he stops the drugs, he'll die. If he doesn't he'll die. I just want to cry every time he coughs and goes through the pain.
- Re-leerlo me ha traído muchos recuerdos, y me ha sorprendido varias veces con detalles que no recordaba. Lo había echado de menos.
