I've been eagerly been wanting to read this book with all these little stories that help filled in and bridge some gaps in TMI & IND. Like how Magnus first met Edmond Herondale, Will(IND)'s father and how Edmond met his bride. My favorite was the one when it was 25 years after Jem became a silent brother and Magnus meeting James Horondale, Will's son, James was drunk and fulfilling bets placed on him, in that story we meet up with Will, Tessa and Jem to find out why James is going down the wrong road and how he gave his heart too, there was many emotions towards the end of that story. Also there is one memory that Magnus experienced when Valentine and his circle was torturing downworlders, including children and how she had to save a family of werewolves from the circle and Magnus faces down Luke, Alec's parents and how shadowhunter was killing their own. Another emotional story was when Magnus remember the morning that Jocelyn brings a few month old Clary to his doorstep when Tessa was visiting him, Tessa was vocal about Stephan's death and how he would have killed Tessa at first glance but his his death Tessa was upset that Valentine killed the last of her William's and her bloodline but then Tessa held Clary and agreed to the deal of a new life free of the darkness of their powerful world.
Some of these stories I could have cared less like the llama one or even the Queen Marie Antoinette story and a few others but for any diehard reader obsessed with these series then great but I only cared for a few that I wanted to really read and the rest , not much.
