I went from loving Twilight to hating Twilight to being sort of indifferent about it. I kind of want to read them again just to see what I think of them now. Its been a while since I've read them and I've changed my taste in books since then.
I'm addicted to the books of Cassandra Clare. I read the books of Stephanie Meyer, too and I loved them ... until I watched the movies. >_< I think that both authors are very good, but at the moment I like Cassandra Clares books more. Reading Twilight, it was kinda mixed with suprising and expecting. There was nothing that was like: "WOW! I NEVER THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN!" And reading Cassandra Clare's trilogy of the mortal instruments was completely different. More exciting and I even read the books while my classes at college xD I couldn't stop reading. And now I have plenty of images in my head, showing me all the charactere of the books and it's totally like they're chasing me. :D
Crazy.

THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS ALLLL THE WAY!!!!!i love the books :D
i liked Twilight at 1st but not now
Um.First of all I am a Twi-Hard Teen. If you would've asked me when Twilight was the only thing I read/talked about/was interested in, I wouldve said Twilight series hands down. They always and forever will be my favorite books. But now that the Twilight series is over I think Mortal Instruments is in. To me, favorite books are like fashion. One week it's in and the next somethin new comes out that you like better. Twilight held my attention for a while, but she stopped coming out with books for the series. Mortal Instruments held my attention since the middle of last year. She's coming out with more books and I love this series to Death. Mortal Instruments win for me.

and Jace is trustworthy as well
ohhhhhhhhhh
Jaces face and hair and eyes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Twilight isn't really a book I enjoyed all that much. The Mortal Instruments were way more interesting and there was never a slow moment. It was edge-of-the-seat reading and I couldn't put it down!!! It was so realistic and had waaay better characters that were fun to read about. Plus, the humour in TMI is HILARIOUS!!!!!
The Twilight Saga was the first series I really got into (after Harry Potter). At first, I loved it. I thought it was incredible, but the more books I read, the more I’ve come to realize that it wasn’t nearly as good as I originally thought. I like the story, but I truly love The Mortal Instruments more.
I’ll admit, when I first read Twilight, I had a character crush on Edward. But after reading books like Shiver (OMG, you have to love Sam) and The Mortal Instruments, I’ve seen male characters who are even more devoted and caring and perfect.
And with Shiver and TMI, you get to see into the guy’s head, which I love. It’s so hard to do that with a first person POV novel (without making the guy sound overly emotive). With Shiver, you get to see how Sam views Grace, and it’s refreshing and that much more interesting because you *know* what he’s feeling. With Twilight, Edward had to tell Bella how he felt. I do love some of his quotes, but (and maybe I’m just a cynic here) it would be hard for me—in Bella’s place—to really believe everything Edward said.
When he said, “Bella, when I told you I didn’t want you, it was the very blackest form of blasphemy,” it just seemed like a guy trying to say whatever he needed to get the girl to forgive him.
That doesn’t mean I don’t like the quote. As I said before, there are several Edward quotes I love, but I just would have a hard time believing them if I were in Bella’s place.

EXACTLY.

twilight i enjoyed a lot. and to be honest i do not think of it as a vampire series that much, i think of it as a lovely love story, i just cant think of the cullens or all of them as vampires b/c those r not vampires to me, i think of them as super beings or something.....but i loved the twilight book series hated the movies, i dont completely hate the movies but they werent done to their full potential like the harry potter movies. i cant really compare TMI to twilight b/c i believe they are completely different.i find that twilight is more of a romance, love story and TMI is more action/adventure.comedy wit a love story. and twilight is more paranormal romance where TMI is more urban fantasy. so its hard to comare them. twilight being my first book series ive ever read(yea, i knoe, ive been mising out on a lot) i will always love twilight for that, for getting me to read, so i will neva hate this series. but i also loved TMI. and i find them completely different stories.
the mortal instruments are sooo much better then the twilight saga. i heart everyone in the book XXD
same here! MAGNUS AND JACE are my favourites!!!
I am one of the lucky person who had read twilight a year before a movie has been made, and to be honest it introduce the new world of vampires to me, twilight explored an exciting story and characters. But after the movie, it ruined my whole concept of of the book, no offense but its what I had felt...I still watch the movie sequel but I definitely loved the book than the movie.And for the Mortal Instruments its like twilight all over again, but in a totally different concept, but without the whole vampire stuff, (thank god) at least their not the leading characters. With MI Its like, what was lacking in twilight was amazingly portrayed in MI, I loved Jace character his too different from Edwards character, they're two different personalities (literally and figuratively). I'm really glad I still have Cassandras novel to look forward to, after the twilight craze was ruined for me.
"There's just too many Vampire novels and series now a days, that the concept is getting dull and uneventful, they all look like pale gorgeous men with major dental problems." :)
hahaha. wht happened is i rented movie 1 and likes it and wanted to know wht would happen next and so i read the first book and OMFG. it was sooooo goood! and of course i wanted to know wht would happen to e/b so i continued. but when new moon came out...ugh......THEY RUINED THE MOVIES!!!! twilight was okaiexz...new moon....i think all of the movies didnt do the books justice. they sucked but i still watch them once or twice. my favorite so far is still the first movie. but god the ruined it. i think after watching teh movies im like okaiexz...huh huh...and then realization sunk in that it didnt make it as magical as the books, but the harry potters r just as good as the books....problem here is summit. they dont know shit.

I read it just as it was getting really popular and then the hype totally killed it for me.

OMG. same here. When everyone wanted to start being a part of the whole twilight craze thing, i was like, i gave up on it. partly because of the movies and everyone was trashing twilight because of new moon. new moon had horrible lines in the movie. it was really bad. when i watched eclipse, i had no interest in it anymore. twilight has no space in my mind. it's reserved for the Mortal Instruments and the Hunger Games. I just hope they make the movies as good as they did for Harry Potter in TMI Series and THG Trilogy.

I love both series so I really cant pick. Both women have different writting styles. I am a huge vampire lover (have been WAY before twilight came out...the Lost Boys baby!!!)....and yet there is just something about Jace that draws me in lol. So I guess Im a Twilight Mortal fan ;) lol
It's hard to find characters like Jace and Will and I just love that. Cassandra Clare is my favourite author!!!! Twilight is what got me started on reading and thats the only thing I appreciate from it. But, SHADOWHUNTERS ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!
i think the MORTAL INSTRUMENTS series is better than twilight in terms of exciting parts, but TWILIGHT SAGA has the power to make you want to be a vampire like Edward Cullen. Right?
yeah, that's why there's this vampire craze now a days...blame it all to EDWARD, they all want to be just like him,, ;)
Vampires? Werewolves? NAH. SHADOWHUNTERS ALL THE WAY, BABY!!! We get to wear black and draw on ourselves. oh. yeah.
Hey i wanna be a SHADOWHUNTER soooooooooo much more than a vampire

alright guys, here are my point of view and how I got to read twilight and the MI series:my best friend watched the first twilight movie and got totally obsessed with it. at first I don't wanted to go along, but then I saw the first movie as well and I got at the first moment totally into it. I loved the character Edward and so I read all the books afterwards with such joy and speed, I hadn't had before. (I'm also a huge harry potter fan, but it wasn't so fast to read in my opinion). Then the second movie come out and i really didn't like it, mostly because of the cullens different look, and edward looked so bad *urgh*. But I stilled liked the book, though I don't like Jacob and this stupid Bella, at first always "edward edward" then she had him and she wasn't sure any more if she wanted him or now jacob.. then this was over, and then all that she cared was her baby... and also edward got so sensitive - tooo much. But all in all a good book.
and now 2 weeks I started to read the MI series because Stephenie Meyer recommendet it and I got again totally into it. I almost eat them like a horse and finished all three books in 2 weeks - I couldn't think about other things *crazy*.
so, I can't really choose which one is better, I would say now "MI" cause I just read in and I totally adore jace and clary, but I don't know what happens if i read twilight again now.
what i can say is, that I've read twilight before MI and so when I read MI now, I often got reminded of twilight. Though the main characters are not vampires, but some relations or situations are almost the same. There were also some parts of MI which reminded me of Star wars
1) City of Bones: the party of Magnus in the middle of the book, where Cassandra discribed the attending guys and the people aroung... that reminded me very much of Star wars.
2) The relation between Clary, Jace and Simon is like/ were like the one with Bella, Edward and Jacob: Both boys are in love with an ordinary girl and she's the only one who doesn't know it. And at first the boys hate eachtother and in the end the even like eachother...
3) City of Glasse: When Isabelle told Clary about the way Jace changed when Clary got into his live and how Isabelle see he loves Clary and so on - thats like the situation in the third twilight book when Rosalie tells Bella how Edward got to "live" when Bella got into his live...
4) and in both books the one would die for eachtother and afterwards the both are always afraid if the other one really loves them....
what do you say?
and sorry, that my comment got so long :/
The mortal instruments hands down a million times better than twilighti used to be a huge twilight fan until i read the MI series and was like wow soooooooooooooooooooooo much better!!!!!!!!
this is a difficult choice, i love the Twilight series, and have been obsessed with them my whole life, read them each probably over 10 times. but ever since i found out about the MI, i fell in love with them. the characters are amazing and the books aren't just about love like Twilight basically was. but i do like the love part in MI<3
I have to say the mortal instruments were 100% better. I liked the Twilight series but was disappointed with the movie. I read the Twilight series before the TMI Series but I thought the MI was much better.
Mortal Instrument most definately!!
TMI. i love vampires but i hate twilight
Oh if it's Twilight vs Mortal Instruments I would totally say Mirtal Instruments. I mean, I love Twilight, but Mortal Instruments is just better. Love Jace!!!! <3
