Probably the best one of these so far. Not for the Jack the Ripper history or that time frame at all (because I honestly haven't read the Infernal Devices series yet so it was probably a little more confusing than it would have been if I had) but for the Jace/Simon interactions. Jace and Simon's relationship was one of my favorite parts of the series in the later books. I was glad to see it again. I'm definitely hoping poor Simon either gets parts or his memory back that help him accept his friends in the future or he learns to accept himself as both the hero and the Mundane. Maybe if he becomes a Shadowhunter he will regain his memory with his change or something. Either way, I was glad to see Jace/Simon, glad George is still around and pretty funny actually. I am definitely enjoying these Novellas.
Rereading as part of a reread of all the stories related to The Last Hours. Full thoughts on my review of Tales From The Shadowhunter Academy.
