If I had to describe Cassandra's writing in one word it would have to be "description". On every single page of any book she's written, I can say from personal experience, there will be a description. Whether it be a person's eyes or hair, or the way the towers in Alicante, Idris glimmers in the sunlight. I, personally, LOVE description. I like it because you can actually see everything she is saying and picture it in your mind. You will never be hanging onto your own made-up description of what you think Tessa's necklace looks like, or what shade of red Clary's hair is. I don't see too many books out there that have this detailed descriptions in them. Cassandra is certainly a unique writer in that aspect. But also in the stories she comes up with. She came up with a new race of humans that are half human half angel called Shadowhunters. She created a stroy with plot twists at every turn. I think the unpredictability of her stroies are another fantastic reason why she is phenomanal author. No other writer I have read has had this creativity in their books.

Cassandra Clare Author Review
One of my favorite authors at the moment is Cassandra Clare. She is the author of The Mortal Instruments series and The Infernal Devices series as well as a couple other series about Shadowhunters which I haven't read but I probably will.
