For the first several chapters, I had to remind myself of the events in City of Glass and remember they had literally JUST gotten together when this took place. I mean, they have two kids and just got married for god sakes. Both Magnus and Alec were so unsure and hesitant with each other and it was just so odd! Im so used to the current Malec being confident and strong in their relationship. It was SUPER weird to shift my mindset back in the shadowhunter timeline to the middle of The Mortal Instruments. Im not gonna lie, it took me a hot minute to get into this book. This was the first LGBTQ+ relationship I ever read about as a teen and I cant tell you how amazing it was to see it highlighted so spectacularly in this novel. Malec has been my OTP from the moment I read City of Bones a decade ago (sorry Jace and Clary, I love you but) and now theyre FINALLY getting their moment. After a decade of wanting Alec and Magnus in the spotlight, our prayers have FINALLY BEEN ANSWERED. **Minor spoilers for The Mortal Instruments and The Dark Artifices ahead.** Well kids, its finally happened.
