well I really really liked it however I must say I was a little disappointed. The other books in the series I loved full out but then this one I felt like I just wanted to read the next book the whole way through. It took time for me to actually be gripped on this one but I didn't expect what happened to happen. I still of course am not a huge fan of Clary but I have to admit she got a whole load better during this book. I look forward to reading the next one.
