I have mixed feelings about this book. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I haven't read The Mortal Instruments series before. The plot and the characters felt too familiar and predictable for me to be truly engaged in the story.
Will is basically a carbon copy of Jace. I have a little problem with that, because I don't want Cassie Clare to announce in City of Heavenly Fire that Jace is Will reincarnated.
Tessa is a more reasonable and level-headed version of Clary.

Shadowhunters in victorian London. I think that's enough to begin reading it!
This book reached my expectations. The background is well documented, there are not many flaws (that I can see). Cassandra explains quite well the victorian society I think, the mundanes with the old habits and how the Shadowhunters are a bit different but not so much in some ways.

An amazing read! The characters are, while completely different, all generally lovable. The main female character actually isn't annoying, for once. The setting, Victorian London, is one of my favourite things to read about. The story is imaginative, the writing witty, and I love the fact that each chapter begins with a bit of classic Victorian poetry :). I suggest this to anyone who is a fan of paranormal romance.

Cassandra Clare has once again got me so sucked into this magical fantasy world that I just can't get enough of! I read this after reading the first four books of the Mortal Instruments, so I definitely was able to relate it to things that happen later on in the other series. Will reminds me so much of Jace that sometimes I had to remind myself that I was in a different time period with different characters. I got hooked the first chapter and was very surprised with the way things ended. I can't
