    I enjoyed revisiting this world after bingeing the Infernal Devices trilogy last year. This was the first time I will visit this series after reading Clockwork Princess and I look forward to all the little hints I may have missed the last time I read this series. I rate this book 4.8 because something in me refuses to accept that the idea of Clary and Jace being siblings was a thought in Clare's mind when writing this. One thing I want to point out is that I know City of Bones came before the Infernal devices but the writing style of the aforementioned trilogy was much better in my opinion. I'll be visiting the rest of this world in time and look forward to rereading what I have forgotten.
