I'm greatly enjoying this series. Even more, I think, than The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones; City of Ashes; City of Glass.

Slightly less teen angst and a bit more realistic in the love triangle department. It's perfectly conceivable that a person can have more than one true love and that it can come in different shapes, sizes, & forms. So far, I understand that it would be difficult for them to step so far out of the social morals and try to care for each equally, I simply hate to whole idea of not tell the truth to those you proclaim to love.

The only frustrating part, now this is mostly personal, is it's presumed that to love more than one person could only cause hurt feelings and broken friendships. As if loving a second means you're loving the first less. Of course, it is realistic to the culture and the times, so I understand it. I just don't like it.
