This isn't necessarily the kind of book that leaves you wanting more, but instead leaves you with a sure sense of satisfaction that you now have a better understanding of something. 
 Seeing different sides of Alec and Tessa, and obtaining more small moments of many other characters from the Mortal Instruments series brought a lot of isolated incidents full circle. I enjoyed this collection of short stories a lot more than I thought I would, although it pains me to learn that Raphael Santiago will never be able to make another monthly phone call to Ragnor Fell to gossip about Magnus. It also makes me extremely happy to find out that these phone calls existed in the first place. 
 Any fan of the Mortal Instruments series will enjoy at least half the short stories in this collection, if not all of them.
