Mundane humans create distinctions between themselves, distinctions that seem ridiculous to any Shadowhunter. Their distinctions are based on race, religion, national identity, any of a dozen minor and irrelevant markers. To mundanes these seem logical, for though mundanes cannot see, understand, or acknowledge the demon worlds, still somewhere buried in their ancient memories, they know that there are those that walk this earth that are other. That do not belong, that mean only harm and destruction. Since the demon threat is invisible to mundanes, they must assign the threat to others of their own kind. They place the face of their enemy onto the face of their neighbor, and thus are generations of misery assured.

I feel like this book is where the story really gets going. CoB is so much set up: introducing the world, the characters, the villain, the conflict, etc. So much happens in so little actual book-time, and we only get Clary’s POV (except one little Jace passage)
In this book though we’re diving into the action and the relationships and the POV’s and the ~drama~
It’s probably actually like a 4-4.5 for me but it was just so goddamn fun that I’m sticking with 5

La verdad que pensé que no me iba a gustar porque cuando lo leí en su momento no me gustó pero está bastante bueno, me gustó el avance que todos los personajes tuvieron en el libro pero más que nada el de Jace. Espero que Clary deje de agarrarsela con Maia porque sino a las piñas.
