I want to start off with: I used to love Clare's writing and the Shadowhunter world. It definitely was extremely thought up and detailed and when I was first introduced to it via The Infernal Devices, I have to admit I was blown away. It was and still does remain one of my favourite series, and Will, Jem and Tessa will always remain some of my favourite characters of all time. I don't think anyone has ever pulled off a love triangle as intriguing, heartwrenching and intense as Clare has. 
 Saying this, however, I then moved onto The Mortal Instruments series, as you do. And let's just say it was a bit of a notch down in quality compared to its predecessor. Even without reading any reviews online, I always had that feeling that the characters in TMI kind of mirrored the ones in TID, almost as if Clare had just recycled her characters and situations in the same world to create a new series. And guess what? Spoiler alert: she does it again in this one. 
 For once, I felt bored while reading a Shadowhunter novel. I mean, I admit it can take a little while for Clare to get her world and characters set up, but Lady Midnight was slow as hell. Several chapters later, and I still don't know what I'm reading for. There's no pull to read on. To be honest, I'm just tired I think. I've moved on from this beloved world; it was great while it lasted. But Clare really needs to think up something new. I've heard there are going to be two more series after The Dark Artifices, and all I can say is, how many times are you going to recycle your characters? 
 --------------------- 
 I also want to say, because of my recent enlightenment to Clare's supposed plagiarising and other past misdemeanors (and you'll know what I mean if you do an Internet search), I just don't feel comfortable anymore supporting an author like this. Especially as I can now see how flawed some (or a lot) of her writing and books are.
