Clary, Jace, and Simon are still appealing characters. The others are pretty much backdrop, and Valentine is not real believable to me. I don't feel like this book advanced the story much, although I gather there are six of these so we're just getting started. (I deliberately have not looked ahead to see what happens.) Seemed to me it was mostly about Clary's and Jace's feelings for each other...and I suspect some revelation that will allow them to act on it. What happened to Simon was inevitable if he were going to stay part of the story arc - and this may be the most interesting part of the book because what's going to happen when the vampires realize his secret? Valentine knew about it...hmmm. So, still an interesting storyline and lots of action but not a lot of forward progress.
