Nothing too deep here. In the second mortal instruments book it becomes clear that Clary and Jace have powers other shadowhunters don't. Is this further proof of their kinship or did Valentine take the Wayland boy as his own experiment? The teenagers must deal with a vindictive representative of the Clave police, tricky fairies and a demon that takes the shape of your greatest fear (boggarts, anyone?). Action-packed scenes keep it interesting and stop it from devolving into a maudlin teenage love story. From other reviews comparing it to the Twilight series, which I have avoided for said maudlin "which boy do I choose" angst, I was pleasantly surprised that that wasn't the focus.
