I think that this book was a good start to The Mortal Instruments and will always be a favourite of mine. Although this is one of Cassie's earlier work and isn't one of the best written in the series it still improves throughout the book.

Glad I re-read this, I want to finish the series and I'd forgotten so much. Started off a bit... cheesy. Clary is not very relatable now that I'm older.. but.. she gets better, and by the end.. the adventure and world building, and action had me hooked again.

Let Cassandra Clare be proof that being smart and well read does not automatically make someone a good writer.

This book was really fun to read. I love Simon. The only problem I have with this book is the length of the chapters. I kind of found the character of Clary and Jace a bit annoying. I really liked reading this book.
