TMI ALL THE WAY

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.




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.


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.

AGREED!!!!





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.

The Mortal Instruments is most definitely original. Twilight is original also. Both series have varying plots and storylines, so why compare them?
