I decided to both these books in the same post because I'd just gush about how amazing they are in two, so I might as well squish it into one! Seriously, I didn't expect to love them as much as I did.
Cassandra Clare is a genius. Her writing is beautiful, her characters are fabulous (especially Jace!) and the plot kept me enveloped in the world of demons, vampires and werewolves throughout. Fantastic. I really can't put into words how much I loved this but I'll try.
I finished City of Bones last night and started City of Ashes straight after even though it was 11pm and I had college today. I took it with me today and read it at every available moment and when I got home, read it until I finished it a couple of hours ago.
I cannot wait for City of Glass, it's going to be amazing. It's just a shame I have to wait until JULY! So far away! But anyway, everybody who hasn't already, needs to read this amazing series right now!
