Wow, where to begin>?? Damn I am impressed, Cassandra Clare once again has blown me away with her ability to create a world so awesome I am pretty sure my love for it borders on obsession. (An unhealthy, have to have it obsession) I got this book one day after it came out, (Yes people that’s right, my heart was breaking too) But nevertheless I struggled through the agony and finally got my hands on a copy of it! Come hell or high water I was not waiting two weeks for my local bookshop to order it in! I love this series, why? A- Jace, (Need I say more) B- Because the characters feel so real, everything feels real. (If only) C- For a few hours I was able to totally forget I have an English Essay due Monday, and Math’s homework that I probably should have been doing. Nothing else exists when it comes to these books. To be able to create something so amazing that you can make people forget about the real word is what I believe must be one of the most brilliant feelings ever. I also hate this series though, Why do they have to end so quickly? All the waiting and excitement, the need to know what happens then as you get down to the last few pages you wished you hadn’t read it, because let’s face it 2014 is a hell of a long time away. You need to read it yet at the same time if you have the self restraint (I sure don’t) leave it, for future readers don’t read this series until they are all released!
Anyway on to the actual book….

I was a little frustrated at the beginning, yes everyone is searching for Jace, woo hoo give them a gold star or something, I just wanted to get into the action! But soon enough we do, and my my, the badassness is definitely back. Sebastian, Jace and Clary. What a team. (Kinda reminded me of Elena, Damon and Stefan) Okay so we all knew Sebastian’s niceness wasn’t going to be real, once a bad badass always a bad badass. So we knew sooner or later this little triangle of happiness would come crashing down. Although I liked some of Sebastian’s comments like when he jokes and say “That’s my sister you are defiling” (Something like that) It made me want him to be the good brother, against better judgment part of me wanted him to be good. I loved seeing Jace happy though, however fake it was. It was nice to see him happy, confident (Not that he has a problem with that) cocky and not doubting himself. In a way I kinda wished they could stay like that. Things happen, plans change and Jace gets to be himself for a while………..

(Wolf whistles) Hello the scenes we have been waiting for, it was killing me, they were so close yet I have a newfound respect for Jace, thank god he said no! As much as we fans want it to happen it just wasn’t the right time, I was glad he just wanted it to be something between them minus Sebastian.
I knew Sebastian had a thing for Clary, but ewwww… Hahaa, as much as I like him, I cringed as he kisses, hurts and tries to sleep with Clary, I’m so glad she fought him off and slapped him. The line about the nail polish and sticking her finger up at him was classic. The dude is crazy! Incest is not cool. (Flowers in the Attic, I am not judging you. Loved the book) But this was not understandable incest, this was down right weird.!

Glad to see Jace’s humor is back, I missed his cocky smart as comments. Even when he was being controlled he was still funny. There were a few cute moments between he and Clary, although we could tell it wasn’t exactly caring Jace, hence the storm off for a cold shower. ;) But I loved the line from Sebastian where he says “Is there a reason you just threw my sister into a sink?” And Jace replies “I was sweeping her off her feet”

I am really glad Maia and Jordan are back together, they are the perfect couple. Aww and Izzy and Simon. I was glad to see a new side to Isabelle. She is always so confident and independent that to see her worry about telling a guy she likes him and is scared of telling him, was nice to know that she is just as human as the rest of us. Although I wish they had of established a more official relationship. I don’t like what happened between Alec and Magnus. (I haven’t been a die-hard fan of them) but I can’t picture them not together, he made a mistake so what??? People make mistakes all the time. He didn’t even get to make it, he just thought about it. I really want things to work out for them!

I have to stop myself there before I write an Essay or something, read the book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ohh and thank you Cassandra Clare for not leaving is with a massive cliff hanger ending, It’s intriguing yes but not a dying to know ending, makes the pain a little easier to withstand. :)
