Loved loved love this book! I fell in love with the first one and I'm happy to say that this is one of the series that didn't get me frustrated because you could tell that the only reason the author wrote more books is because that's what it said in their contract. I have to say though, honestly, after the first three it kind of felt like old problems were being brought up again or new unnecessary ones were being made just to keep the story going. Once I started feeling that way, the author made Loved loved love this book! I fell in love with the first one and I'm happy to say that this is one of the series that didn't get me frustrated because you could tell that the only reason the author wrote more books is because that's what it said in their contract. I have to say though, honestly, after the first three it kind of felt like old problems were being brought up again or new unnecessary ones were being made just to keep the story going. Once I started feeling that way, the author made a prequel series which was incredible. The prequel series made me love the original series even more and forget how dragged out the original was becoming. Now the movie is coming out. So, I'm usually excited when a movie comes out for a book (I've ALREADY read) because I like to be reintroduced to the storyline all over again. But that's the exact thing that disappoints me. Either they mess up the storyline or they insult the image of the character that the reader had. Literally. I mean, has ANYONE seen the actor portraying Jace?! Are the serious? I didn't know if I wanted to scream or cry when they showed him. Clary is...decent although I would've made her hair a brighter red and curlier. Simon, to me, looks like too much like a preppy geek...he's supposed to be a video game geek and so awkward that you can't help but love him. NOT a preppy geek. Magnus is probably the most perfect matchup of actor and book character I've ever seen. As long as they have him with a bunch of weird crazy colored hair and outfits, I'm perfectly happy. The only thing I'm hoping for in the movie now is that they KEEP THE STORYLINE!! (i.e.don't come with your own and put random twists like they did on beautiful creatures...ugh,don't even get me started on that) Overall, I loved this book and it's characters so much. The characters are very well structured and the author makes the world they live in so easy to become a part of and I recommend it to any who asks. Even though this book is classified as romance I recommend it to some boys (those who don't go ewwwwww when a girl starts talking about a guy or vice versa) because the action and demons and swords appeal to them as well. If you're still thinking about reading it, stop thinking and go read it! ...more

From the get go I was really interested in seeing what this author created after being inspired by the author Cassandra Clare created through the series. The characters are strong from the start.
