'The Mortal Instruments series features a rare marriage of extremely intricate, fast-paced plotting with ample digressions into the emotional lives of characters we've come to care about deeply ... With a movie in the works, this is an excellent time for new readers to jump on board one of the most enjoyable series in YA. Smart, fun, and epic, these books are addictive for all the right reasons.' --(Locus)

'Cassie's writing makes my toes curl with envy. She is the rare writer who can write fast-paced dramatic fantasy with gorgeous language and memorable characters that you grow to love and worry about, as well as really funny bits that will make you honestly laugh ... It is rare too find someone who can do any one of those things well; to find someone who can do them all is just dangerous.' --(Holly Black)

'The action once again climaxes in a tense, lush battle sequence just waiting for digital cinematic treatment ... [A] goth-and-glitter pleasure.' --(Kirkus Reviews)
