forcing myself to look in the mirror and forcing myself to remember it was in fact me who decided i wanted to reread this even though i knew exactly what was waiting for me at the end of this book
#honestly. the thing is that this plot twist is very good in itself like i cant name any other ya series#that would have the balls to pull off a genuinely sickening twist like this. like yeah it's very upsetting thats the POINT!!#however i think the darkness and tone of this plotline doesnt fit the rest of the story and thats why its misinterpreted so often#like it's literally jace's lifelong abuser gaslighting him to keep him under his control. that's literally it#it's not fetishised or portrayed as smth desirable at all in fact jace like immediately becomes suicidal bc of it lmfao#however. bc of the way jace and clary are portrayed as characters its too easy to read it in that weird almost romanticising way i think#and i have to say sometimes this woman does write the worst freakish things imaginable! she does have to be put on a watch list she does!!!#but i do think most of the criticism for the plotline is kind of inaccurate. i think the core issue isnt the plotline#it's that the writing wasn't good enough to pull it off as intended#anyway. time to read that lovers to siblings speedrun in coa and then regret typing all of this#vic reads tmi
