Cassandra Clare is an amazing author who has created a whole universe of books my heart beats for, though I know they are not real they are real in my mind and heart. Her books are my safe haven. I have never had the honor of meeting people with as much courage, bravery, kindness, and determination in real life as the characters in her books. They fight everyday for what they care for, even when their world is wrenched upside down and side to side by grief and misery, they never waiver, because they now it wont do them or their loved ones any good to live in their own bubble closed off from the world. "You endure what is unbearable, and you bear it." Those words will forever be branded in my mind like a tattoo engraved in my being, whenever

In this novel, we obtain a deeper understanding of the impact social standings has and the influence it has on how people perceive you.
