SPOILERS!!!2012 - Great plot. Very suspenseful, which had me speed reading most of it to see what happened next. I kept expecting/hoping to find a connection between the characters from the prequel and the characters from this one. I was angered by the revalation of [spoiler] Clary and Jace being s...

Enlist all the cliches from any lousy YA novel and create the characters. Crossover with characteristics directly copied from Harry Potter series. This book is a rambling of uncreative incidents.

Blerg. This book was on like my list of things I may want to pick up at some point list for a long time because so may people liked it but that was like 6-7 years ago.

Quiet Or Loud? A Book Reader's Thoughts
When I first started reading this book, I was very intrigued. I knew Clary was different because of what she could see. At first, I thought Simon might have just been blind and somehow couldn't see the people that Clary saw. Then I put two and two together and figured there was a reason Simon couldn...
