Cassandra Clare did another amazing job in this book, the second in the Mortal Instruments. If you read my review for the City Of Bones you may notice that I have given that one five stars, while this one is only four. I do that because I am a in depth reader. I immerse myself into the book, and I feel that the first one was just better.
This book is still great, though. I love it. It’s just not my favorite. The suspense still carries from the first book. It is very engaging and keeps you on the edge for the whole book. New characters are introduced and it is not hard to fall in love with them once you meet them.
Jace and Clary continue their struggle with each other and their feelings. It is infuriating. But that is what makes the readers come back for more. And keep coming back. Cassandra has figured out how to keep us all into her series, and for it to never leave us. As this book keeps the magic of the first, you will be drawn into this world even more.
