I actually didn't finish the Mortal Instruments, and then two years later I picked up the Infernal Devices and absolutely loved it because at that moment I realized they were connected. I think reading all three books of the Infernal Devices first is good. I know people say that reading it "How Clare intended", and mixing the two series is the way to go, but I found it only amped up the Mortal Instruments for me by reading it after the fact. Because then you know the past, and then you think "Now let's read the future" (less)
