tell me what you thought of the book and what was the best part that you enjoyed the most???


I enjoyed the series so far the relationship that Jace and Clary have and were not aloud to do anything about until they finally find out they are not related but still there is always something that makes everything intense with them.....

Kiki | 14 comments @ Adriana I haven't read TMI yet. It's on my TBR list. Heard so many awesome reviews from my younger sister and my nephew. ;)

I love the Mortal Instruments Series and Adrianna is right the tension and chemistry between Jace and Clary is amazing....the thing about Cassandra Clare is that she really knows how to develop characters and makes them so enjoyable to read and likeable too...I don't think any character annoys me at all...

Jennifer (ivashkovlover) | 339 comments Really great series with a lot of action and great characters. I read it because I kept hearing about Jace but I also really love Simon and Clary too. A very unique story.

Christine (christine01) | 2 comments I started to read it a few months back, but than I put it down to start the Vampire Academy series!! =)


message 8: by Latasha (new)

Latasha (latashamd) The Mortal Instruments is one of my favorite series, and Jace has almost, ALMOST! replaced Edward as my numero uno :)

Clare's other series, starting with Clockwork Angel *which was amazing* is bound to be awesome!


message 9: by Sylvia (new)

Sylvia | 13086 comments Mod
Clockwork Angel is interesting too...I read that Cassandra Clare wanted to publish that first but was advised to enter in with the MI series to capture audiences (wise choice I say)...


message 10: by Marian (new)

Marian (marianerika) | 1066 comments TMI Series is ama-zing! I love how Jace and Clary loves each other. I love how Simon is in love with her but chose to just be her best friend. I love how Alec is gay and how he and Magnus is secretly in love with each other. I love how Isabelle is so fierce all the time. I love how Luke is so martyr and is always there for Clary. I love the characters. I want more! MORE! I love TMI so much :D

Jody ohh I have not read them yet, but cant wait.

Yeah, TMI is awesome. Haven't read Clockwork Angel yet but I heard it's also nice. Try reading TMI first.

Yes. Me too. I lack so much time and I've got a lot of to-read books on my shelf. If only I can just read all the time and just avoid schoolworks. *Sigh*


Mlpmom (Book Reviewer) (mlpmombookreviewer) | -132 comments I enjoyed the first three but have yet to read the fourth. I am a little up in the air about the fourth, part of me is happy there is more but another part is sad because I liked the ending the third had. I just would really hate for the next three to ruin the first three.


message 18: by Sylvia (new)

I cannot get enough of the characters so am very happy there is more...granted the third book had a great ending but I'm hoping the final book has a better one

The fourth book is good! Read it asap. It's still a cliffhanger though. I want more! More of Jace and Clary :>

Yes, I agree. I hope there would be a great ending to all of this. Like Jace and Clary getting married but I don't expect this anymore, after all, Cassandra Clare told her fans at her site that she doesn't see a wedding for teenage couples, so I guess it'd not come. But any happy ending could do. I couldn't afford if someone in the main characters will die :'(


message 21: by Sylvia (new)

Sylvia | 13086 comments Mod
Yeah I really wouldn't like any of the main characters to die that would be a real shame but am really curious to see how the story pans out...Clare knows how to tell a good story


message 22: by Jody (new)

Jody Finally got my copy of City of Fallen Angels, but who is on the cover. Its Clary I assume but who is the guy suppose to be...is that Simon...he doesnt look very much like a vampire, he looks like a shadowhunter. Cant wait to get reading.


Mlpmom (Book Reviewer) (mlpmombookreviewer) | -132 comments It is suppose to be Simon the cover. ;)


message 24: by Amber~Michelle (new)

Amber~Michelle (supermegahappyskull) | 17 comments I LOVED the first three books in TMI series but the fourth kind of annoyed me. I just don't like the ending of it. I don't want to spoil anything for those that haven't read it. But the drama with dreams and yeah the ending just made me wanna scream.
I can't wait for more in the Infernal Devices series :) The ending of that annoyed me a bit too, but I can't wait to find out what happens between them xD


message 25: by Jody (new)

Jody If that is Simon on the cover of the fourth book, then that is not how I pictured him...he looks super hot on the cover. He looks as if he must become a shadow hunter perhaps...guess I will have to read to find out. But I like the sound of a vampire shadowhunter for sure.
I have read the back of the 4th book and not really liking what I have read. Waited so long to see Jace and Clary come together, so Im holding off on reading it, Im in a happy place at the moment from the ending of the 3rd lol. I cant bring myself to read it just yet.


message 26: by Amber~Michelle (new)

Amber~Michelle (supermegahappyskull) | 17 comments A vampire shadow hunter would be super cool. I have a feeling the clave wouldn't allow it though. Unless clary thought of new marks to use on them or something.
But I wish I hadn't have read the fourth one so soon. I should have waited until the others come out and just read them in a row.


message 27: by Jody (new)

Jody I dont want to read the fourth one...I will be crushed if anything bad happens between them or to Jace, which I have a feeling something will happen. It can just sit on my shelf for a little bit..but Im sure my curiosity will get the better of me. So Im torn lol dying to read it but dont want to haha.
I love Jace...love his sense of humour.
I went to the library and got the audio books to read, I loved them so much and just to make sure I didnt miss anything. I have not used an audio book before but its like a little ipod, I will give it a go.

I think that its because he is a bit of a smart ass that makes him so hot. Did you read Because its bitter, the shorts 2.2, ohh that was so good, I wanted there to be more. I looked up when the final book is released, 2013 wtf..that is a long wait.


message 30: by Sylvia (new)

Sylvia | 13086 comments Mod
LOL I know I hate how long we have to wait and how about the sexual tension between Jace and Clary OMG...I read on earlier that you have yet to read the fourth book...you definantely have to there is this scene with the both of them that I really thought was written brilliantly and it got me so hot and bothered lol I wanted so much more....so please read it just for that lol


message 31: by Jody (new)

Jody Well I dont mind getting a bit hot and bothered over Jace. The book keeps looking at me and I dont think I can hold off anymore. I think a need a Jace fix, I must miss him haha. I will just have to deal with what ever happens.
I read some reviews which werent good but no spoilers so I have no idea what happens in this one. Think I will be reading it next. Cant wait to read this about scence you mentioned.


Lexi (Pink Jellyfish) (blackjack13) | 61 comments OMG guys i have 2 read the 4th book too ASAP...i put it on hold cuz Simon is the main char *shrugs*

I am going to start it tomorrow, I think Simon on the front of the cover looks really hot, he was never hot in my mind. I saw a book trailer on you tube where someone had Simon as Daniel Radcliffe...ohhh god really?? Totally killed it for me. This is a much better look for Simon. I hope he is not such a pussy in this book.


message 35: by Jody (new)

Jody @Heinzypop are you trying to steal my boyfriend lol. Jace is mine now haha. I will let you know when I get to that scence, it sounds like one that I will read through again...I tend to do that with good juicy parts of books lol

Shera (Book Whispers) (sherabookwhispers) | 152 comments I'm having the hardest time talking myself into reading the 4th book. someone told me Jace and Clare were breaking up.

After the first 3 books I don't want to continue reading if they don't stay together. some times ignorance is bliss.

I think something happens between them as well. I was going with the ignorance is bliss angle too haha
I just decided that I was going to stay with the happy ending...with the kissing and fireworks lol and that was that.
Now though, Ive given in and started the fourth now so there is no going back! Curiosity has won.


message 40: by [deleted user] (new)

LOVE this series and my favourite part... JACE! Everything about him.

PS: Book 4 is awesome!


Lexi (Pink Jellyfish) (blackjack13) | 61 comments LOL i think that she really should've made this a trilogy.....but if Carrie sais its amazing ima read it soon!


message 42: by Jody (new)

Jody Cant believe I didnt pick up City of Fallen Angels straight away and read it...I love it!
Omg the part in the alley way in the rain when Jace pushed Clary against the brick wall omg I was soooo jealous.


message 43: by Marian (new)

Marian (marianerika) | 1066 comments LOL a lot of people hate it though :( they want the series to end in the third book. how sad. i mean, Clare wrote it for us, the readers, to have more of Jace and Clary. I liked it too though. Loved it, i mean :D


Lexi (Pink Jellyfish) (blackjack13) | 61 comments kyaaahhhh i cant w8 2 read it then!
