I like this series a lot more than The Mortal Instruments and this is my favorite of all of Cassandra Clare's books. I liked that things weren't so black & white - her brother, Jessamine, even her relationship with Will & Jem. Although I find the love triangle annoying, too. For once, can't someone end up with the nice guy without being torn over the "bad boy"? And even though nothing is resolved in this book, I have a feeling things won't be going my way in the final volume. Best make-out scene ever, though!
