july 2013 rating: 4 stars

may 2016 rating: 2 stars

After reading this book again after almost 3 years, I'm going to have to change my rating from 4 stars to 2 stars.

Let me start by saying that this was one of the most intense books I have read so far all year. I am ...wow, I am not even sure where to begin to be honest. But I am going to try. Also, I always strive to be spoiler free, but I may fail miserably and if I do I am so sorry.

Let's start with Clary. Something about her, well, she just felt odd to me. Like, what you saw on the surface really couldn't be who she really was. In the beginning of the book she struck me as kind of, well, bratty. But she g
