Top 5 Wednesday is created by Gingerreadslainey. Each week there is a new bookish topic, where everyone can join and create their top 5 list. You can find more information on the Top 5 Wednesday goodreads group. This week’s topic is:
Favorite Polarizing Books
-These are books that people either tend to love or hate, with no in between. Pick some of your favorites that fall into this category.
I must start with saying that I found it hard to find books for this weeks T5W. I only have one book series and not 5 books because I didn’t know what to pick.
The Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare
This series is a very popular young adult urban fantasy series. A lot of people either love this series or hate it. It has gotten a lot of praise, but also a lot of criticism for being problematic and bad writing.
I want to say this series isn’t my favorite fantasy series of all time, but I had a lot of fun reading it. I especially liked the authors other series set in the same world; The Infernal Devices. I love the world of the Shadowhunters, and I love the characters (or some of them). I’ll continue reading the authors books set in the Shadowhunter world.
I have to say I wasn’t a fan of the Mortal Instrument series. I have also tagged you in the Rapid Fire Book Tag! https://loisreadsbooks.wordpress.com/2017/01/19/rapid-fire-book-tag/

I love the Mortal Instruments! I was really impressed by Clare’s characters and her world-building. And I am a HUGE fan of Mangus Bane haha. This series was one of my favorites when I was in high school, although I think I prefer The Infernal Devices over it now. Also, Lady Midnight is an improvement over the original series too!

Magnus is life haha. I also prefer The Infernal Devices, and I’m really looking forward to read Lady Midnight. I bought a copy of LM last year when it came out, I need to read it haha.
