The first time I saw this series, I din't want to read it......NOW I WANT TO READ IT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE! 
 Clarissa 'Clary' Fray is back in this book, along with Jace, Isabelle, Alec, Simon, and Magnus. And of course out very much hated villain: Valentine. The book takes place in Brooklyn once again! The main conflict is cool in this book, to me at least. The Mortal Sword has been stolen and Jace is being accused. 
 I really liked this book a lot. The book had the right amount of action, funnies, romance, and feelings put together. It's hard to accomplish that. Simon had a lot of problems in this book, but he was my favorite character, along with Alec. The middle was my favorite section of the book. I enjoyed it immensely, especially this: 'Haha? That's your comeback?' :P 
 The ending was awesome! Another action scene! Oh yeah baby! :D Simon.....Simon's life stinks majorly. Again? Seriously Cassandra? (view spoiler)[Three times in the book I thought he would die! Three times! (hide spoiler)] Clary's love life stinks also. I personally think she should be with Alec is he weren't....You know. 
 I recommend to Cassandra Clare lovers, of course! YA, paranormal, magic, and romance lovers all alike will enjoy this action packed drama! Also, I recommend to ages 13-Adult.
