Um. Even though my opinion of this series hasn't really changed, I still picked up the new book. I was wondering what it would be about seeing as the story wrapped up in the previous book. The result was fanfiction. Cassandra Clare managed to write fanfic to her own series. It's the kind of stuff fans write when they can't get enough of their favourite story. Lots of romance and what would happen with this character and that one, not a very substantial story. There's still something that pulls me in though, I can't explain it, and will probably read the next book as well.
