I was thrilled when I saw the incredible cover to this book. I was so excited to return to the fictional realm of the Shadowhunters. I went back and forth between a Kindle library book, Libby audiobook, and my own expensive hardcover copy of this book until about 40% in. Then I had to up and put it I the donate pile. Junk. This book is completely ruined by trying to conform to a new liberal, sex-driven, beyond appropriate relationship status. It isn't just love triangles, more like pentagons, and not just a side homosexual or bisexual individual, but over the top fluid sexuality all. In the past, I have found Cassandra Clare to be a powerful storyteller but the plot is completely lost in this book through the murky sexual gunk.
