Aug 11, 2016TEENREVIEWCREW rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
This book was a lot more attention-grabbing than the last one. Circumstances the characters faced felt more suspenseful and dire, and I could not stop reading. This second book in the trilogy shifts the focus more so on the character and what motivates them, and how they perceive and handle the hardships they face. The point of views switch around more often in this novel too, so I feel as though I got the opportunity to learn more about some side characters than I knew before. I really enjoyed the variety of settings and I liked that we got to see the northern parts of England instead of only staying in London. Rating: 5/5 @ClockworkReader of The Hamilton Public Library's Teen Review Board This book was fun to read, but hard to accept. I had always shipped Will and Tessa, and this book was difficult for me to allow happen. The inner turmoil going on behind Will's sassy outlook (why do all Herondales hold all their hurt and feelings behind??) is simply too tragic and despairing. How can Tessa be so ignorantly blind?? Jem may be sweet, but unfortunately he was never my pick. All this is simply too much to take in from the blooming romance in the first book. Tessa, despite her ignorance, still faces day to day issues with her brother, creatures infernally designed, and inner demons. She cannot possibly get caught up with more, or so the readers may think. 4.5/5 Stars @Siri of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
