Nice story but it could've been one book with City of Fallen Angels.
Lost 1 star for how many times Jace and Clary make out but don't quite make out because blah blah blah. That, and it was quite repetitive after some time.

Incoming spoilers for both book and TV series :

I like how the show decided to make Clary be the one controled by Sebastian instead of Jace, because it allows for the both of them to have lived such a situation (first Jace was controlled by Lilith, than Clary by Sebastian). I find it more interesting to see how each deals with that.

City of Fallen Angels seemed to focused a bit more on the Downworld compared to the previous books, but I also like the shows take on it better.
