Comprising the first two thirds of The Oresteia, “Agamemnon” and “Choephoroe” tell of the vengeful efforts of Clytemnestra and her son Orestes, respectively. This is especially tragic because they are each taking vengeance upon a family member to avenge another family member. More importantly, each of their acts of murder do not go unpunished. The prevailing theme that can be interpreted in “Agamemnon” and “Choephoroe” is the idea that blood vengeance does not atone past offenses, but rather…

I was in complete and utter awe at the quality of writing and the amazing plot that works so well with the brave characters that she has created. Cassandra Clare has done it again and I'm starting to wonder if she's perfect. The Infernal Devices is very fast-paced with a ton of action, romance, and some scary. There is a minor love triangle between Tessa, Will and Jem and coming from someone who is not a fan of love triangles ... I loved this one. It's so elegantly written that it doesn't come…

I have seen so hate towards her on goodreads and such, that she should not be writing more books in this world – that she is only doing it for the money.

carved a depth for the characters. It tackles hard-hitting topics as well. This easily stand out from the rest. 10. Brand New Attraction by Cassandra Clare – 2 stars This is another odd story from the bunch. I guess, I expected much better than that from Clare. Fighting demons + love potions + family’s betrayal + falling in love. I supposed, that’s a trademark Clare stamp, one that I didn’t liked at all. 11. A Thousand Ways This Could All Go Wrong by Jennifer E. Smith – 3 stars I like this…
