I totally enjoyed Ms. Clare's Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices series and the first Dark Artifices was fairly good. However, I feel she's trying to overly incorporate too many diverse lifestyles with the main characters as if those are more the norm than straight relationships/lifestyles. If that is the direction she wishes to focus this series on, I'm done going forward with it. It is getting to where it should be listed in LGBT book shelves, not romance in my opinion.
