This was... really awful. As another reviewer said, this seemed like a mashup of a whole bunch of stories that were awesome in their original form, but do not work here. There was a lot of telling rather than showing. Most of the characters were total jerks (what was up with Clary letting these people she JUST MET treat her best friend like complete crap?!). Jace was such an arrogant asshole. I think she was going for arrogance hiding a wounded puppy who had a tough life, but he really just came across as a big d-bag. (view spoiler)[Also, incest is gross, even if the characters don't know that they're related. The whole Clary and Jace being long lost sibling seriously icked me out. (hide spoiler)] Add in all of the plagiarism drama from awhile back and the poor writing, and I'm just not seeing the appeal.
