I think if in six months the movie will come out, these books are getting a lot of attention in Germany. It is the usual story of teenagers discover their special abilities to survive adventures and of course make the first experience with love. In City of Bones, Clary learns that her mother has taken away her memory to protect them so before another hidden world. One day they will be confronted but despite the best efforts of the mother with full force with the world and with Jace. An arrogant, handsome, talented, charming young Shadowhunter. and of course Clary in love with him immediately. Much to Mißgunsten her best friend Simon. The first book of the history I find very utnerhaltsam. It can be read well, catches a down in history and be feverish beautiful in love triangle with. The second volume builds dirket to the events of the first. Clary and Jace have to contend with the new information about your family with regard to their relationship ... Simon is struggling with the fact that he feels that his love is not reciprocated, and also with him great changes are at with whom he has to learn to deal with. The second band is also very entertaining. Although I found the whole thing with Clary and Jace a bit annoying. (SPOILER) And I am very question seems where this "romantic incest" idea comes from and fazinieren so to be. Forbidden love is all well and good, but that this story soooo stretches forever, took me sometime but annoyed. But I'll get even in my description of City of Glass ... (SPIOLER END) In City of Glass, the action takes place in Alicante, the capital of the Shadow Hunter and around the war threatens to pave with Valentine. The story so I find nice to read. As Simon is in Gefängdis and in general, the machinations of the Clave. The Government of the Shadow Hunter. Also much is again told about the history of the "older" protagonist, which is very interesting to read. However, me in this tape the whole thing annoyed back and forth between Clary and Jace. Since you somehow already in the first part knew how it turns out in fact and evidence are scattered in the 2nd and third part of this assumption only reinforce and neeeervt simply that Cassandra Clare exploits the whole thing down to the last deadline. Even then I could not understand at all Calrys considerations and fears at the end. I've been a little afraid that in the full lowing volumes it comes much that teenagers do not talk to each other and constantly comes to misunderstandings, where you as readers sometimes do not understand what that actually everything is ... But even if these things bother me a bit, I found the first three volumes worth reading. It's fun to read, to dream with and of course also desires to have immediately emulate something with this world;) Have fun while reading !!
