The Mortal Instruments Boxed Set: City Of Bones; City Of Ashes; City Of Glass (The Mortal Instruments, #1-3) (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
I started this series by reading the Infernal Devices. That may have been my mistake. TID drew me into the Shadowhunter World and would not let go. I loved it like I love chocolate. However, after having read The Mortal Instruments, I have to say that Ms. Clare's writing improved substantially between the two series. Or, it could very well be that I prefer my romances historical instead of contemporary. The dialogue in the Mortal Instruments seems so forced and unnatural. I couldn't take any of the characters seriously, and really don't care about any of them. Clary irritates me and Jace is just a cardboard romance cutout. He's certainly no Will (and Simon is no Jem).BTW, every time she writes "[so and so] threw up [his/her] hands..." I picture the character vomiting up a pair of hands. Every. Single. Time. It's time to drop that turn of phrase. Ugh. Oh my gosh, these books... QUALITY!! OKAY I LOVED Divergent so much and I still get goose bumps and can't stop smiling when I think about it holy crap. But, I just finished the last book in this series (City of Lost Souls) a couple months ago AND CRIED. I cried because I have to wait for so long until the last book (City of Heavenly Fire, which I am SO PUMPED FOR) comes out and I also cried because I love the books and when I think about how close I am to finishing them with nothing left I can't even...just no. I am 14 years old and loved the books but I think that people older than me might like them as well. I love Cassandra Clare so much right now you have no idea. I bought every book and also pre ordered CoHF so I get it the day it comes out, and it was DEFINITELY WORTH THE MONEY. I STILL HAVE DREAMS ABOUT THEM, IDK IF THATS CREEPY OR WHAT I JUST DO. ITS PRETTY MUCH ALL I THINK ABOUT NOW A DAYS.I could go on and on about how much I love these books that I can't stand it. It's REALLY hard for me not to, to be honest. GAHHHH ITS JUST SO AMAZING AND I SOOO WISH THERE WAS THIS DRUG THAT YOU COULD TAKE THAT WOULD MAKE YOU FORGET WHAT GOES ON IN A SPECIFIC BOOK AND GOSH I WOULD READ THESE BOOKS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN IF I COULD BELIEVE ME. Well anywho I just had to write this because I am having one of those fangirl moments when, you know you can barely breathe,......ya feel?? So YEAH! BUY THE BOOKS AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY THEM AS MUCH AS I DID!!!! I LOVE YOU CASSANDRA CLARE.
