The Mortal Instruments

So, I’ve talked a lot about books that I’ve recently read and movies that I’ve recently seen, but this time I’m going to tell you about my favorite book series. This book series is The Mortal Instruments, written by Cassandra Clare. There are 7 (I think) books in the series and I’m trying to finish the very last one now. To be honest though, I’ve been trying to finish it for about a year now… Oops. The reason is because I really don’t want to finish the last one because I don’t want the series to be over yet. I’ve connected with the characters so much that I feel when I finish this book, it’ll just be over. Have you ever had that feeling? It’s like a part of me will be over when I finish it.

                I really like this series because it’s nothing like I expected it to be. My best friend told me to read it and at first I was like “um, okay? What’s it about?” and when she told me that it was about vampires and all these mythical creatures I instantly was like “you have got to be kidding me?’. Then she reassured me that it was better than I was thinking. When I started it, I couldn’t put it down.

                I think the reason I liked it so much was because you could never predict what was going to happen next. I really love books like that because it makes you never want to put the book down. It makes it a real page turner. It’s one of those books that you could sit down with some hot cocoa and a blanket and only intend to read for an hour but end up reading for 3.

                I can never decide which book is my favorite because each one has their own twist and turns which make each one majorly different from the others. For example, in one, you find out that 2 people are siblings but they don’t want to be because they love each other and then in the next book, they have to try and separate themselves because it’s too hard for them to be together and in the next book, you learn that they aren’t really siblings so they did all this avoiding each other for nothing. That is probably my favorite part of the plot is trying to figure out how their relationship has developed through the books.

                My goal for my Christmas break is to finish this last book so I can reread all the books again and hopefully relive the stories again. When I finish it, I’ll probably write about it and let you all know what I thought!
