Normally, for me, I don't tend to pick up novellas as the ones I have attempted to pick up before with other series they haven't really added much to the story and I just lost interest. But, this series of novellas is something different. Not only does it add more to the story of the Shadowhunter world but it fills in some of the blanks and answers a lot of questions I had when I finished City of Heavenly Fire. As Magnus Bane is one of my favourite characters in this world, I thoroughly enjoyed following him throughout his past and present. This series of novellas gives great back story to some of the Shadowhunter world before the Mortal Instruments series, fills in some blacks from the series and adds more depth to certain characters that were in the Mortal Instruments series and may be yet to come in further books...

This was such a fun read! There was a lot of suspense in this book I truly didn't know where this story was going.

Mostly I enjoyed this book. I would have loved for the dramatic ending to have lasted longer and the build up suspense at the beginning to be a bit less, but that's just me. Also, there's a bit at the end where a character arrives at the Villa (I won't say who to avoid spoilers) but I did wonder how that character got there in the first place...
What I loved the most about this book was the characters and character progression. I can honestly say that the opinions I had of each of the characters going into the book and by the end were very different.
I did already have a suspicion on one of the twists at the end of the book, but that's not the only one you get here! I was honestly surprised!
I would highly recommend if you are looking for a fun suspenseful character driven read.
