reading for escapism, who is she?

Disliked

I will start by saying that I definitely didn't dislike this one as much as I disliked City of Bones this was it did feel like better quality in general to me personally the best part about it where are some of the characters particularly Cordelia the main character and so that whole thing about like not needing the context of the other books I think is a bunch of baloney but at least when I was like drowning in family trees and like 87 million characters or whatever I was like oh there's Cordelia go girl go

Loved

I was more appreciative of the fact that this book ultimately says that even if you suffered trauma and you don't necessarily get over that trauma there are ways in which you can find happiness and even if there isn't full justice there are ways that you can find some justice

Disliked

I just found it like really cheaply written and cheap plot and just kind of very basic and on top of that I thought that a lot of the characters were kind of insufferable namely the main male I think his name is Jace he's a douchebag complete and utter douche bag and then Clary is like a terrible friend and kind of a terrible human being to be honest so I just didn't have a good reading experience with that

Disliked

I reread it and I still do not enjoy it this is like almost fascinating to me this book is fascinating because it is so easily consumable like it's almost compulsively readable and I know why it's because it doesn't have any plot and very little friction at all
