I finished this series about two weeks ago. I want to really think about what I just finished reading.
The series as a whole was one of the best series I had read in quite sometime. The best way to describe this series in the simplest of form is that the series is a cross between The Harry Potter Series and The Twilight Saga.
The Mortal Instruments is a love story; one that is filled with lots of unexpected twists and turns. The author, Casandra Clare, has the ability to draw in readers page by page with her written word. I was drawn in so quickly, but she was able to keep my interest throughout the series.
When I first saw the size of each of the books, I hesitated. I kept thinking "how long is this going to take me?" To answer the question, I think all together it took me a little over a week to read the entire series.
At the center of this story are two people: Clary and Jace. Jace is the typical, sexy bad boy, while Clary is your typical nieve girl next door. There crazy love story set to backdrop of the world of Shadowhunters (humans with special powers who act as protectors) and Downworlders (fairies, werewolves, warlocks, and vampires).
One of my favorite characters of the series is Simon. Simon is Clary's best friend since childhood. The two have been connected at the hip. He is quirky and nerdy, but you can't help but love him. He has been "in love" with Clary forever, but as the story unfolds, things change.
I would recommend this series to anyone. I can't wait to the next installment which is due out in May 2012. I can't wait!!!!
Happy Reading!
