It's been a while since I read this the first time. All in all it was an alright read. I did really love Clare's way of describing things. Very vivid imagery. I liked the world building as well; it was clear and not confusing. Despite a new take on creatures like demons, vampires, and werewolves, everything makes sense and works.

The I may thing I didn't like was Clary. She seemed bitchy to me. My hatred of her was sealed when she threatened to out Alec for being gay. Like, girl, bye. Idc how mad you are, that's low.
