I agree on City of Fallen Angels though, I had to put it down for a while before I could continue it. The second part of The Mortal Instruments just really wasn't good at all.

I wasn't the biggest fan of JShirv's Embrace series. But I absolutely adored her Disruption duology. If you ever consider reading her again - I suggest Disruption. It's a bit more edgy and the main character is less annoying... :P<br /><br />Also, I kind of liked The One. The Selection series is like a car crash for me. It's horribly agonizing and so wrong but much like The Bachelor - I have to know what happens next. The fundamental premise of the One was off (seriously? After everything they went through they put their daughter through it too for nation morale?) but it entertained me in the same way the first book did. <br /><br />I loved the topic for your list this week!

I've only read City of Fallen Angels from your list, and while I enjoyed it it, I think that Clare definitely should have left that series as a trilogy like it was originally intended. Now she's writing like a billion series in the Shadowhunter world and I think at some point you just need to stop. <br /><br /><a href="http://lefthandedbooklover.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">- Left @ The Left-Handed Book Lover</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14491851259300809836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107658697270291054.post-22361536397571898772016-06-21T11:42:18.486-05:002016-06-21T11:42:18.486-05:00I really liked the first book a lot.
