I can't comment much about this one in relation to the previous ones because it's been a while since I read it, but I really liked the plot of iteven though I think the conclusion could have been much better. I already liked Simon before (i related to his nerdiness), but after this I'm his #1 stan. I'm glad the book wasn't 100% focused on Clary and Jace, because from what I read, I couldn't stand them anymore, especially him in his rebellious teen angsty phase.
I hope Joss and Luke's wedding goes well, they are so cute and I don't want anything else to get in their way.

Antes da metade desse livro, eu já sabia qual nota eu iria dar. Tipo assim, não é de todo ruim, mas também não apresenta nada extraordinário, acho que pela proposta poderia ser entregue muito mais! A premissa de dar voz a personagens femininas das lendas do rei Arthur é realmente muito interessante, quando bem executada, porque sinceramente, acho que até os escritos medievais davam mais profundida as personagens. É no mínimo cômico um livro que se diz "feminista" ter tantas implicações conservadoras, principalmente ao pôr quase todas as mulheres umas contra as outras, e usando excessivamente a trope da 'mulher malvada e sedutora'.
Fiquei irritada na mudança repentina de sentimentos da Igraine em relação ao Uther, e também desse lance de almas gêmeas que a autora tentou enfiar.
Também me incomodei muito com os claros ideias próprios sobre religião da autora dentro do texto, acho que as críticas dela podem até ser interessantes mas no fim o ponto dela acaba bem raso. No final das contas, não acho que seja uma obra "uau" mas consigo compreender porque foi considerada polêmica em seu tempo, mas existe tanta coisa melhor pra se ler em 2024, de preferência que não sejam escritas por uma pedófila estrupadora.
