I think it's pretty mandatory to talk about something in this series if you have a book blog. This book was haunting me before I even read it. Friends would mention it in conversations, I'd read numerous blog posts about it, I'd see books in the series laid about in my school library(yes, I hang out in the teens book section when at visiting the library, don't hate!). This book wasn't going to leave me alone until I read it, and I'm glad I finally did. There's some books that go into so much detail that it's a pain to get through the pages. This book was definitely not one of them. Clare wrote her settings and characters in a way that made me want to know more information all throughout the book because it drew me in so much. I also enjoyed how the book opened and grabbed me for the ride without a background. What I liked about the storyline was that there was a bit of everything from this genre. What I mean to say is, we had vampires, demons, werewolves, faeries and a bunch of other stuff. Though the story was a little predictable as I got into it with some cliche characters, they were enjoyable. Jace was an immediate love for me because of his snarky attitude. What's not to love about a hot guy making you laugh? Though Clary was described as shy, I felt there was a bit of incongruity with her as she was said to be one way, but then would do things a shy person wouldn't. Also, female characters thinking they're forgettable until a hot guy proves them otherwise...Could we please stop them now? Thanks. I was more of a fan of Isabelle as she seemed to be a very kick-ass type of personality with a good heart. Simon is totally my homeboy. I can't really explain why, other than saying he's just that person I'd want in my life. I hope to learn more about him and Alex as I think they deserve a bit more spotlight. Overall this book was a great start for a series I plan to continue to be absorbed in!
