I liked this book so much more than I thought I would! The Mortal Instruments books were good, and I enjoyed them, but I didn't think they were great. This book was definitely great! This is Cassandra Clare's best book yet. It was well written, extremely well paced, and very intriguing. She left the ending as such that I had to immediately look up the 2nd installment, Clockwork Prince, to find out it's release date. I will be one of the ones at the book store in August buying it right away to find out what happens next! A+++
