I can't decide between a 3 and 4 star tbh. It's well written, but not overly interesting. The most action we get here is Simon fighting a possum with a tennis racket and Isabelle coming in and telling everyone that Simon is hers and saying something sarcastic about teaching them to use a whip.
But then at the same time the story is fine. George is a cool character. Idk how I feel about most of the other friends he made yet. But mostly I just don't know about Simon. Yes he lost his memory so it's expected for him to be different but I feel like some of the defining traits of his were changed and not because of his memory loss. It was like the traits tried to be there but had a hard time conveying it to the reader in a way that felt like Simons inner monologue should/did/could.

I have heard that the others are better and I have the next 4 downloaded so I'm definitely going to be giving these novellas a read. This one was good just a bit lackluster. ( )

It was so boring!! I expected something more appealing after the events of City of Heavenly fire. :/ ( )

Having read and enjoyed The Mortal Instruments series, I was excited to read this short and get to see what happened after. I enjoyed getting to see some of the characters again and what was going on in their lives.

I had a few moments where I wanted to slap a couple of the characters, wondering what they could have been thinking.

Overall this was a very quick, short, fun read and I look forward to reading more of these. ( )

3.5 stars

Simon is awesome. I love his humor and sweetness. Can't wait for more. Definitely worth reading. ( )

Isabelle Lightwood is my queen and shadowhunters are the w o r s t, POOR SIMON JUST RUN OFF AND JOIN SOME SHITTY BAND OR SOMETHING, LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR YOU, the end ( )
