Clary looks nice. I mean, this is the only book-movie in which I am depending more on the plot and less on the characters. Lets see.

OMG! Who is excited for the movie?

OMG OMG OMG! SIMMMOOON! xDDD
I am loving him! <33 First I was like, "Ugh, I don't like him." but now, seeing him like this, I am all like, "HELL YEAH! I APPROVE YOU!" :'D

Clary is in for such a wild ride when she finds that her mother is taken by someone that is more important in her life than she expected. She is also thrown into a new world with new friends. Her instant attraction to Jace and the adventure that they take on to find her mother is a heart racing one.

Clary uncovers more truths in this book than you would expect her to, but that only makes wanting to read the second book more enticing. I love her endearing friendship with Simon is my favorite part
