Helpful Score: 5

Okay so the real main character in her books is Jace. She is a master at character development. We fall hopelessly in love with him along with Clary. But now after four books it's the same old thing; Clarissa can't have a normal relationship with Jace. It's starting to get really old. I almost feel as if Cassandra Clare wanted to end this story differently, but perhaps was persuaded to change the ending by her editor. It feels like it to me. Like it was set up.
What I find even more fascinating are the other characters, like Simon Lewis and Isabelle Lightwood. And normally when writers introduce a new character, they are generally somehow suspicious. As a rule, readers don't trust them, coming in so late in the story, but in this case she adds a new mix to an old set of figures.
I think for me, this is the last one I'll read, as I don't want to be strung along anymore.
