 This is not the worst book I've read in my life, but it's certainly not the one that I like. 
 I totally get that people love this series because when I read it about 3 years ago, I also loved it. I don't think my feelings stay the same now that I have evolved and grew as a reader. But still, I don't want any bullshit around me anymore since I've realized that books are expensive and I finish them in the matter of a day or two. This book isn't bullshit, but it wasn't best. 
 Like I said in my review, City of Glass, that Cassandra Clare did improve as a writer, but I couldn't help thinking that her writing his this book was too much. It was too emotional, unnecessarily descriptive, miserably poetic, and insufferably long. I didn't like 1. the writing that is describing too much detail about a certain place or repetition on how gorgeous Jace was or how much beauty Clary had less than her mother 2. over-emotional Jace's confession to Clary or some other time where Jace translated his poetic lovelines from other languages. It was too much, too descriptive for me. 
 After reading City of Glass, I guess I was expecting more than this. The plot was getting really slow, which made me wonder why there are books after everything ended. There were even more romance than ever in this book. I didn't really have time to observe everything they did, but they didn't make much sense to me. Even the romance felt nonsense here. Jace and Clary were getting so close because of their relationship yet they felt far away. The ending was so messed up and it was too long because I couldn't wait for everything to end. Truly, I wish it reached its potential in being a real plot. 
 Like I said, Jace and Clary felt different to me in this book. Jace was sarcastic as usual but he wasn't like himself when he was with Clary; he got weak, showing his weak side and sometimes, unable to keep it up. And Clary wasn't that stubborn either, I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing but both characters weren't much of my taste, including their romance. We were introduced to a lot of characters in this book and that's also too much. We keep getting new couples that weren't necessary. God, I just wish this book wasn't this bad, including the characters. 
 Overall: I don't like it, and I don't even know why I'd give it 2 stars either beside the fact that it wasn't the worst book I've read. Three of the biggest points that I look for in a book didn't reach my expectation so I'm just really disappointed.
