    I love that period of my reading habits where I decide to read like 10 books at a time

    i feel as though i expected a lot from the finale of this trilogy and in some respects, it did deliver. as opposed to my reading experience with the last hours trilogy, i was definitely more invested in the plotline of the dark artifices. however, i think that there were maybe too many characters and with this myriad of characters came the need to include every single one in a plot line. this detracted from the flow of the book in my opinion. i expected a little more out of the battle, especially since the final battles in the infernal devices and the mortal instruments were so dynamic and high stakes and yet, in the dark artifices, even with such a deliciously hate-able villain enterprise like the cohort, something about it fell short. that ENDING though... đŸ‘ïžđŸ‘ïž i'm sat for 2026

    Tightly-crafted, propulsive read but for a book that leaned into horror/gore and shocking imagery, the plot had very little shock factor. Wanted more of a psychological unraveling and more at stake (none of the characters were like-able)

    cassandra clare, you have done it again. i guess it was just a problem i had with the lost hours trilogy because i had no trouble getting into this book.
