“You're the first Shadowhunter I've ever met."
“That’s too bad,” said Jace, “since all the others you meet from now on will be a terrible letdown.”
This book was kind of weak and a bit of a filler. Really, the only good part of it was the last like... 70 pages? A whole lot of nothing that led up to something, I guess. What a rough book to follow up my love for The Infernal Devices, too.
Magnus and Alec, y'all just go back to smooching and quit beefing. Thank you.
I don't have much to say, honestly. I feel like that never happens. It's a book that got me from the last one to the next one. Onto the next.

This book disappointed me greatly. I was expecting to go into another adventure, but we got a filler book. Now there is nothing wrong with filler novels, but this one irritated me. Don't get me wrong, I liked this book, however I am tired of Clary and Jace drama. They want each other when they cannot have each other, but are pissed at each other when they can have each other. I enjoyed the backstory and introduction of Jordan, and Simon dealing with everything, but again the whole Maia, Isabelle, and Simon drama annoyed me. I really did like then ending of the story, the climax was executed well. Cassandra Clare's writing style is growing. Overall, this novel should of been a fun filler book, but what it was was petty relationship drama, with a climatic ending. Despite all of this, I did enjoy this novel, but was just disappointed.

Wow what a wonderful read. I feared that the story would be not as involving as the first three, it was supposed to be the end of the series. C.C. wrote a perfect extension of the story picking up right where City of Glass left off. She has a great talent, dragging us into her world and holding us there, happily.
Somebody is killing Shadowhunters, ones that were associated with Valentine's circle, and they are dumping the bodies in "others" areas all over NY. Clary and Jace are still working on their relationship. Her mother and Luke are getting married. Simon is dating/juggling two girls at the same time. An an ancient nasty come to town bringing a horrifying chaos besides the dead Shadowhunters. There are new characters and some old ones that step up into the story.
One of my favorites is Isabelle Lightwood. (Fashion model, meets Buffy) She’s beautiful, strong, smart, and deadly while dressed in the best of fashion. She is independent and self respecting. I love her snarky attitude, she just throws it out there.
Simon, poor Simon, is there anything that can go right for him ? He is beaten down at every turn of the page. His new vamp status has him a previous vegetarian hungering for blood. His love life is even a mess. He has two hot girls, that don't know about each other. His Mark of Cain a new adventure for the vamp. Oh, and it just keeps getting harder for him.
A new 'hero" character inters, Jordan Kyle, he has a dark secret that he tries to recover from. He is there to protect Simon and ends up befriending him and Jace.
Awesome book, get the tissues out.
Warning: Huge cliffhanger ending.

What was this? Why was this?
