This book is a pretty easy read, that's why I liked it so much. It was fun to read and I love to read about demons and stuff. The thing I liked less was the love triangle between Clary, Simon and Jace. Thank God it ended abruptly. I guess not everyone liked the fact that they are brother and sister, because they kissed. But it didn't feel very weird to me and in my opinion it's great Cassandra Clare did it, because I expected it to be sappy and predictable. I like my expectations to be ruined!
