To the anon talking about Magnus and Alec waiting to have sex: Cassie is writing their first time and has said it was in Paris, I can only think of it (timeline wise) as being from when they went on their world trip during book two, but I see Show!Malec waiting quite a bit longer
Their vacation was during book 4, actually. They went on vacation after what happened in Idris in book 3.
My reply was indeed confirming what you are saying though. Things were calmer for a little while after book 3 and at the beginning of book 4. So it makes sense for them to have their first time during their European vacation.
