I was expecting more as this is Cassandra Clare’s debut into adult fantasy. However, it felt like I was reading another YA fantasy novel. The concept is interesting and I may continue on with the series as this felt more like an introduction into the world with most of the plot happening in the last 2 chapters.

Did well with the general world building and main character development. But the larger motivations, overall plot, and suspense of “what’s going on”…
Didn’t seem to have enough pull to make me interested in reading book 2. It doesn’t feel like the overall story happening in this world is that interesting even though the world itself and the main characters were well done.
