I went into this book expecting a awful, unrealistic, tacky book. There's a hell of a lot of bad reviews, and I (of course) had to read them all. 
 Every time I flipped a page, I thought, this is it. It's finally happening, this book is going to reveal its true nature...but that just never happened. It wasn't terrible, but it was incredibly annoying with Jace and Clary moping all the time. And UGGGGG the end...I hated it. 
 What is it with Clary always persuading Jace that he loves her deep down and to break free...you're better than this...can't you see it's not real...come on, Jace, love is sooo powerful... 
 Can't it be CLARY that's possessed for once? 
 It wasn't terrible and tacky, but...it wasn't amazing. It was just...decent. It was fine. But even though it wasn't everything I'd hoped for, I'll still be reading the next one.
