While I enjoyed this book, it was not my favorite. The writing was a little juvenile, and I could not put my finger on the style until the author mentioned that she used to write fanfiction. Yes, this is written in a very fanfiction-esque style that kind of jolted me a bit.
I very much dislike Jace. He has that whole bad boy thing going in a way I do not like. Though I understand where he is coming from, it is just no. And the ending with Clary and Jace? No, what. I understand that topic is controversial and sticks out, but really? Star Wars anyone? Though I do understand the two boys fighting over one girl is a real thing that happens to real teenagers, it is very overdone. Simon's infatuation with Clary was predictable from the first page, as well as any of his future actions. Valentine was evil to be evil, basically, and lacked anything to strike a cord with me.
However, I am going to read the second book because the concept interests me.
