I just finished the Mortal Instruments series yesterday. Cassandra Clare obviously has a fine sense of humor and I caught myself chuckling many times while reading. But while Jace and Simon's ironic retorts are funny, I think Mortal Instruments lacks the most important thing of a good series/book: the plots aren't complex enough, easy-to-guess, and perhaps because it aims to teenage readers, it doesn't suit me (still teenage but not quite) well.

So, I will either start reading The Chronicles of Narnia or catch up with the latest book in Michael Scott's The Secrets of Immortal Nicholas Flamel: #4 The Necromancer.
