Reading the book I was hovering between a 2 or a 3. A 2 for Cassandra Clare's work seemed low as I enjoyed wholeheartedly all her previous work. It took a week and a half to read, which is long since I usually pull all nighters for these books. 
 My favorite part of the book was the note left from William Herondale in Dicken's book. A bit sad isn't? (view spoiler)[ With hope at last?!!! Yay! Though does that mean that something will happen to Jem?! Can't wait to put my hands on Clockwork Princess hey (hide spoiler)] 
 I am interested enough to read the sequel. What will Sebastian do? And will Alec be ok? But I am not giddy for the book to come out this second either. 
 Huh : (view spoiler)[ I am still wondering about Sebastian's followers' motivation. It passes for himself since he has demon blood. Destruction, killing all the humans... But for Shadowhunter it's one thing to refuse the Clave because of its corruption, but killing the world's inhabitant? I fail to see the logic there. (hide spoiler)] 
 Out of characters much : (view spoiler)[ I find also Alex's action quite out of character. Yes he wouldn't have gone through with taking Magnus immortality away, but I had not seen that selfishness in his character. And I hadn't seen him as stupid either: trusting Camille? Really? (hide spoiler)] 
 Oh and major annoyance : (view spoiler)[ Oh what is the problem with glowing male protagonist.... Edward Cullen be gone from this book! (hide spoiler)]
