 Re-read/listened to audio book May 31, 2016 
 I only got through the first three books in the series and I am now ready to finish. I'm listening to the first three on audiobook this time around to remember the story then I plan to read the last three books in the Mortal Instruments series.

 I liked this book so much better the second time. The first time, the big twist with one of the characters, aka Jace being Clary's brother, made me so angry I just remember hating the whole thing. But rereading it with fresh eyes, I just love it so much. I've got City of Ashes on the nightstand and I am ready to get started! :))
