** spoiler alert ** 
 I write this review many days after I finished the book (in fact I had the time to finish the second book). I didn't know what to write about it... 
 First, I have to say I liked the book but not as much as I liked TID (which is now in my all time favorite). Here are the various elements I though about it : 
 - I like Clary as she feels authentic to me. She's vulnerable as anyone would be in such situation but still brave when she has to be. Plus, she's curious and I love that in a character. 
 - I don't understand if Jace and Alec are parabatai... It was mentioned a few times that they were brother of blood but they don't act as if they are... 
 - Isabelle is such a badass! I love her! Nothing else to say. 
 I had many questions left by the end of the book and I made many speculations: 
 -Are Jace and Clary really brother and sister? I'm puzzled as to that... They do not look alike and the only person that says they are brother and sister is Valentin (which can't be trusted...). I can't wait to have Jocelyne's story about it! 
 - I think Isabelle and Alec are descendants from Cecily and Gabiel. Pitch black hair from the Herondale's, Lightwood's family name and their complexion makes me think of it 
 - Clary has a star on her shoulder. What does it mean? When Tessa and Will made out, a star appeared on Will's chest, right next to his parabatai's rune...
