Twitter summary: Girl goes clubbing, witnesses a murder and is pulled into a fantasy world while trying to save her mother.
The good: Another fantasy world commingling all the usual suspects. Clare has done a fabulous job setting up the storyline for the series…
The bad: …but I felt the book was lacking the “gripping, can’t stop reading must know what happen, omg what just happened?” factor.
Favourite aspect of the book: The character dynamics – there was more to each relationship than what you found out in the first third of the book. Because *spoiler that is not really a spoiler* you knew there was more, so much more.
Favourite character: Jace – I kept wanting to know more about this brooding and also nonchalant amazingly skilled young Shadowhunter as I knew there had to be more to his story. Clary’s character growth is still at its infancy and thus, it is hard to root for her in this book.
Recommendation: I don’t think it’s my cup of tea but I will read the second book to give the series another chance.
