** spoiler alert ** 
 Same review. I hate this book. I am only going to continue reading it because of the amazing ratings I see on the final book. 
 --------------------------------- 
 Don't read this if you don't want spoilers. 
 The one main thing I said when I finished reading this book: 
 "THEY ARE BROTHER AND SISTER??!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!" 
 First of all, Clary is such an unsupportive character with a weak personality that I had trouble remembering her name throughout the story!! I just don't like these "I am in desperate need of saving!!!" female characters!!! 
 Jace? Now the thing is, I read Infernal Devices before starting Mortal Instruments.. and Jace's character is quite similar to Will Herondale.. but of course Will is much much much more better!! 
 *actually I am quite shocked that both these stories were written by the same author, as they are so different in writing style!" 
 Alec and Isabelle? I can't really figure out why they are in the story.. I am just hoping they'll have a bigger role in book 2. 
 Valentine? what's up with him? I mean, wanting to destroy downworlders only because of an attack on his father? That doesn't seem like a strong foundation for his rage and anger.. Just saying.. 
 Overall, I give this book a 2 out of 5, and I dearly hope the author will make up for this in book 2. 
 Toodles!
