Mortal Instruments: By Cassandra Clare -- Wow!

Note: **Requested Novel (s)**

"...writing itself was kind of hokey and immature, and didn’t really achieve the same kind of character depth or development that, say, Collins does in The Hunger Games, or even that THG would-be competitors like Divergent (Roth) do. What the characters lack in depth, though, they make up for in sassy quips."    
-Charming Wholesomness

Summary Intro: "I-I-I am sorry! Please just do not hurt me! I-I did not know that you loved Jace that much, just--" okay, enough of that. Well, anyway, that was just a short inscripture of me apologizing for being ummm... four years late. I know I should have written the review much much earlier, but I did not. Me=sorriez, don't hate :(. Currently, I am reading City of Glass (#COG), and damn gurl (title reference son!), it just sooo good. Rather than me post a long summary I did not write, I have a link here to goodreads. It is the total summary for all three books without any spoilers (something I have clearly failed at in the past).

The Good: 
  • Jace, Jace, Jace!  His sweetness, to his muscles, to the hilarious remarks... *sighs*...
  • Wonderfully planned, so that you are ALWAYS, and I MEAN ALWAYS, are at the edge of your seat and end up getting in trouble during math class because you fell down while secretly reading the novel underneath your desk :p
  • There is just so much content, when you want more, you will get more!
  • The voices of the characters clearly differ!  What I mean is that when Valentine talks, as opposed to Simon (ahhh Simon), than it feels as if some other author wrote it out because the way they talk is so different, it seems legitimate. 
  • THE MOVIE! Yes folks! Coming next Summer!!!!!
The Bad: 
  • Sickening Romance... like seriously, the fact that they STILL want to be together after finding out... ughhh! **Stopped for awhile because of that!
  • The Covers. Like seriously... that is just sad.
  • Barely any depth of the characters. Very straight forward. Like REALLY straightforward. What they think has no meaning, their past is only in a literal sense, barely any personal convictions.
All in All: Wonderfully storyline and plot, keeps you reading. But definitely need some depth on characters, very lacking.

I am still behind! XD I actually haven't plan on reading this anytime soon because (a) I'm not that interested (b) it's HUGE! Okay, the huge part is just my excuse of procrastination, but still, I am really REALLY scared I'll hate, which I don't mind, since I've shot down many books before that many love. XD

Well, yeah, i think your review has been the only that has pros and cons. And i love reading bullet-pointed things! XD ^^

I started reading these books and never finished! I should start all over again and read them all because it's been so long. :)
