The first book in the trilogy of THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS series. It is set in modern time in New York/Brooklyn/Manhattan. The story line follows 15 year old Clary (Clarissa) Fray who is witnesses a murder, however when she confronts the attackers the body disappears before her eyes. Soon she is thrown into a world she never knew existed however someone very close to her did and did everything in their power to keep her away from it all.
The story is very very well written and played out, there is not too much information that would overload the casual reader and on the other hand does not bore the avid reader. There is plenty of action and war for the romance haters, but also romance for those who loves sex books. This book is widely attractive to any reader and captures and takes them on a ride not soon forgotten or pushed out of the memory.
Cassandra Clare has a talent not so often bestowed that can capture the attention and keep almost every age of reader.
Conclusion: 4 1/2 stars
Sayonara!
