In this lengthy review of the book(s), this 'urban fantasy addict' goes into plenty of detail as to why she dislikes the books, preceded by only a few positive words on the series. I thought it interesting to see how she saw Clary similar to how anti-twilight fans react to Bella. She also uses Twilight as the lowest end of the 'writing scale' she used to describe the book "where 10 is Shakespeare and 1 is Twilight, this is a 1. Yes, [she says,] this is another Twilight".
