Yeah I disliked Clary a lot.


message 402: by [deleted user] (new)

Twilight all the way!!!


message 403: by Elin (new) - rated it 5 stars

Elin The Mortal Instruments is better written and far more interesting and TMI has JACE so there is no competition....

TMI ALL THE WAY


Rubster TMI

Really?! Look atmy last comment and just IMO I preferred twilight, it actually has A healthy relationship"


Nothing against Twilight because I enjoyed the books a lot, but I would hardly call Edward and Bella's relationship healthy. Edward was controlling, obsessive. He stalked her and watched her while she slept at night. Creepy. And Bella was so consumed by him, that she couldn't function when he left. And was willing to put herself into dangerous and potentially life threatening situations just so she could see some imaginary version of him. This isn't what I'd call a healthy relationship--not that Jace and Clary are that much better. They've definitely had some disturbing moments. Lol.

Sara I think Mortal Instruments is better written, more complicated and I do love it, but I still like Twilight better. Probably because MI has a darker, intense feel to it and there are times when I almost can't bring myself to read it because I'm afraid of what is going to happen next. Maybe down the road I'll like MI better but for now....


Catherine Amy That's tricky. They are both written very well and have totally different story lines. I don't think you can compare them but if I was forced it would have to be The Mortal Instruments as there is a lot more going on.

MLL It is actually ludicrous to compare these two series. They have nothing in common. Although I loved it Twilight is really just a romance. The Mortal Instruments is a complicated involved battle of magical beings for good and evil. The Harry Potter series would be a better comparison to The Mortal Instruments although it is still very different. Clary is certainly no Harry.


Victoria THE MOTAL INSTRUMENTS ALL THE WAY


Stephanie No offense but that is the STUPIDEST question i've ever seen.
MORTAL INSTRUMENTS! Duh


Serena ♡ THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS! all the way! The mortal instruments wins over twilight by 6000.

Nancy MI, of course. it is an amazing story filled with tons of action, humor, and just enough romance

Alisha The Mortal Instruments!!!


RedheadReads For all of you referring to Edward as "Eddie" you obviously didn't connect with the books anyways. The two authors shouldn't be compared, and neither should the books. Completely different types of fiction.
I loved Twilight. I love MI. I love them both for completely different reasons. WE as readers need to get out of this habit of comparing every single book. If every author had the same writing style, reading would be boring.

K Yes, but Bre... We are also free to have the opinion that Twilight is shit.


Rebecca I think the answer is, hands down .... The Mortal Instruments =)


Stephanie Hatton TWILIGHT IS SO DIFFERENT FROM MORTAL INSTRUMENTS!!!! I LOVE BOTH SERIES BUT THEY CAN'T EASILY BE COMPARED, AT LEAST THE TWILIGHT SAGA WAS TURNED INTO 5 MOVIES!

Joshua At least TMI has a coherent plot line and exciting action. Twilight has…?

Great opinion, however, most romance novels/series have the same format...i.e. the guys is super handsome, ridiculously tall, with a great body, he's the best fighter/protector, and might be rough around the edges but he has a good heart--the girl is beautiful (but she doesn't know it), she's a virgin, they're attracted to one another, lots of sexual tension; she becomes the victim of (fill in the blank) and only he can save her...blah, blah, blah. Sounds familiar? You can read any romance novel and the plot will run along these lines.

Generally most romance story lines are similar--I think most people look at the writer's style/skill.

Ikra The mortal instruments all the time


Melissa By far- Mortal Instruments! But I have read Twilight!


boooksaremyjam No more asking, TMI is way better than Twilight. Characters included.


message 426: by Maya (new) - rated it 4 stars

Maya Compared to the first three MI books: Twilight is worse! But the last three...I honestly don't know. A tie, maybe?


message 427: by rex (new) - rated it 5 stars

rex Mortal Instruments gets my vote because it is so much better written! Plus the characters in MI had a certain depth to them that Twilight's didn't.


Juliana torrellas TMI SURE!!! That serie changed my life.


Themaidengod definitely Twilight! Clary totally ruined MI for me she made it unbearable to read but considering that I have to finish stories that I've started it was like torture reading the entire series


Francisca of course THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS !

AbigailDenyse01 the mortal instruments. though I really don't like clary and bella I think tmi is a better bokok series altogether.


message 436: by Rachel (new) - added it

Rachel E. Carter ugh. this isn't even a fair question. Mortal Instruments. MI. MI. MI!!!

Twilight was a book series you read when you have absolutely nothing better to do, Mortal Instruments is the series you ignore your family for on holidays and get yelled at because you JUST CAN'T PUT IT DOWN. Because if you don't find out what happens to Jace & Clary you will not be able to move on with your life.


message 437: by Naomi (new) - rated it 5 stars

Naomi Speakman I don't understand why people compare books when every novel/series/trilogy is different and unique.
The Mortal Instruments is most definitely original. Twilight is original also. Both series have varying plots and storylines, so why compare them?


Lindsay Carter i loved both... i found the 3rd book of TMI really hard to get in to though and it took me ages to read :/ haven't read the newest one yet... where as twilight i flew through them easily and didnt want to put them down. i think there's alot more to TMI which is why its more appealing? as twilight it just basically about the "epic" love between bella and edward :)

Julia Zubko Mortal Instruments and anybody who disagrees has probably been dropped on the head as an infant or just born stupid.

Julia Zubko you can't compare Cassandra Clare's perfection to that twilight crap!


message 441: by Naomi (new) - rated it 5 stars

Naomi Speakman YES! EXACTLY^^^
Finally someone who gets my point.


message 442: by Mari (new) - rated it 1 star

Mari Twilight is far better. Mortal Instruments made so little sense it made my head hurt.


message 443: by Nicole (new) - rated it 4 stars

Mariana Mortal Instruments!!!!

Teresa Why would anyone even ask the question: "Twilight or The Mortal Instruments"? They are 2 different Series altogether. TMI is WAY BETTER!!!!!!


Charlotte Mortal Instruments by far..... even though i do love twilight!!!


message 449: by Teresa (new) - rated it 5 stars

Teresa I am reading City of Fallen Angels now--Book 4 and this is even better than the others by far. I LOVE this Series SO MUCH.
