This summer I read The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, picking them up at Costco. The recommendation on the front was from Stephenie Meyers, and with the run-away success of Twilight at both the Teen Choice and MTV awards, I knew her endorsement would be key.
This series is very much a hero journey. We have Jace and Clary, who are divided by circumstance despite their love for one another. The book brings forth all sorts of characters, settings, and situations, including war and some violence.
In typical fashion, there are twists and turns along the way, but the world is saved, and through a delightful plot twist, it ends happily ever after. I definitely recommend these books to those who read and enjoyed The Twilight Saga. These books are very much in the same vein, and are better written.
Happy reading!
