Although the book is told in 3rd person, the narration follows Clary Fray around most of the time.

That is until she starts seeing people that no one else can see and going through a series of strange events that alters her life forever. Throughout the book, she grows into a fearless, courageous young woman with a strong mind and heart. Her personality blooms and she goes from being an ordinary girl from Brooklyn, New York, to a lethal shadowhunter with revenge on her mind. She also gets to experience something that she was not expecting any
