3.0

I think this is the perfect book and saga to read and be obsessed with as a teenager. It gives me the ick with certain phrases, but I think that's related to the time it was written. The book's entertaining and it gives the reader the few information they need to get invested in the story.

The end of the book, I think it's very interesting how it reveals the nature of Clary's and Jace's relationship. I haven't read any YA novel at this book's time that made such a plot twist. I found it very shocking honestly.
