Helpful Score: 2

While this second installment in "The Mortal Instruments" trilogy is just as engrossing, just as creative and just as well written as the first, I found I had major problems with the turn of events that leave the H/h as brother and sister rather than boyfriend/girlfriend. While the problems dealing with their romantic feelings despite the situation may be entertaining for some, I found it disappointing and even with the very subtle "hints" that all is not as it seems, I consistently had to pull myself back from the overwhelming "ick" factor.

The huge cliff-hanger endings are also a minus. It's very annoying when one is required to read the next book. I prefer choosing to pick up a book because I love the writing (which I would do in Clare's case) to having to pick a book up because of a ploy.
