Another spectacular story from the great Cassandra Clare! This book was excruciatingly good!!! I am so upset that I am done with it and I so wanted the story to go on and on and on and on.. 
 The first thing that I MUST note about this story is how well-written and strong all the characters were, how each main character had a different personality and how they all complemented each other which greatly assisted the story's progress. I have always had a love-hate relationship with Clare because of how her characters are built. If you check out my previous reviews on some of her works, you would notice I complete loathe Clary Fray whilst I absolutely adore my darling Tessa Gray. I honestly went into this book with a concern that I would not be able to like Emma Carstairs, our main heroine, because of the past couple of books in The Mortal Instruments series. 
 Oh but I do love being proven wrong by authors! 
 Emma was such a strong and refreshing character that I immediately fell in love with! What's more, I could relate her clever and analytical way of thinking to darling Tessa. Emma could never settle with what she had, she always needed to know more and do more and that made the story all the more fun! 
 I also loved Julian's character and how he and Emma complemented each other in a way that reminded me strongly of Will and Jem. 
 This story focused on an aspect of the parabatai in a way I have always wondered at, and I was so curious to see how they went about to "resolve" it, but I was saddened to see the ending like that.. Although I can fully understand why Emma did what she did.. 
 On another note, I am now SO curious to figure out what Malcolm had wanted to say to her about this subject!! I do hope that it'll be analyzed during Lady Midnight #2!! 
 There were so many other ideas that were identified in this story that I loved. I loved the idea behind The Wild Hunt, the story of Malcolm and Annabel *ooooh that part at the end of the book sent shivers down my spine and I have so many questions !!* and the quite astonishing part at the end on the true identity if Johnny Rook's son Kit! The thing is with this book is that there were so many new information shared about Shadowhunters and Downworlders and magic that kept me reading and reading and reading! 
 I love love LOVE this book and can't wait for book2!!!
