I loved this book so much and I am anticipating reading more of the series I can finally see why people love this series so much. I still really love the characters even with the rift between Jace and Carly they both are so well written its easy to see why they still feel the way they do about each other. The other characters are still interesting Alec his sister and Magnus are such well written characters I really liked Luke as well he is such a great parental figure for Clary and others. I really enjoyed the story it picks up from where the first book ended things happen the action is so great there is so much that is great about this book. So overall I loved this book and I will be reading the next book soon.
