Meh. Think this is the third or fourth time I've read this book, and I've still never made it to the second. This time I will though. This is just a kind of average book for me. No idea what all of the hype is around Clare's books. The repetitiveness between TID and TMI is frustrating. I hate it. It may as well be exactly the same thing, apart from it being set in a different time and Tessa being special. I hate Will's (view spoiler)

I loved this solid start to a series and I love where the story is headed. It's so good to be back in the shadow hunter world and the plot in this one im finding so much better than city of bones. Even though I have been spoiled on a few things in this book I'm still really excited
