So, I wasn't in the mood for a slow-burn dark academia.

This was super gripping and creepy. I've never been so glad to live in an apartment building.

I didn't foresee myself going back to the Shadowhunter world, but I was in desperate need of an audiobook and this was conveniently available. So I guess I'm going back.

This book just wasn't the same as TMI and TID but I'm sure most of it just because it's been so long since I read them and I'm not into them in the same way I was before. But I had great time at work (for a change) while listening to this and I actually paid attention to the audio.

I have mixed feelings about this book because it really requires a specific mood to enjoy it. This book is kind of slow, it's got a lot of descriptions of food and drinks (because that's what the main characters are into) and it can get boring if you're not in the mood for a slower book. 

But the love story was kind of worth it. At least if you like yearning.

This book was a huge info dump. I expected more plot than world-building. I really hope the next book has some cool plot twists coming. I thought this one would end in a big cliffhanger but it didn't.

I think this was a little better than the previous book. Not 100% sold on this either, though but it's mainly because it's YA and I'm not so into it anymore.
