So, the hubby and I watched The Mortal Instruments, City of Bones this afternoon. What an awesome movie. I found out that it is based on a book and that there are 5 books and few spin offs. Has anyone read this series to know if it is any good?
The writer started out writing fanfiction - I believe Harry Potter. Some rumors of plagiarism involving the fanfics which kind of turned me off on her. But the Mortal Instruments series is all original. It was really big a few years ago. Haven't heard much since the movie come out. I think Hunger Games overshadowed it. I've heard mixed reviews, but mostly good or not bad. The movies didn't do well. But I've seen parts. I think if you haven't read the books, it isn't a bad movie. My husband liked what he saw of it. I also bought the first book but it is still in the pile of stuff that got pushed aside for fanfics.

Really?? Interesting!! What was her FF name?
I've always heard the MI series takes quite a bit from her Draco Dormiens series, and that Jace was essentially her version of Draco. I've never read either one, because of all the stuff about Clare AND I prefer my fics to have a Harry/Draco romance, and I believe they are just friends in the fic. The movie kinda sucked though, from what I watched of it. From what I hear, the movie left out too much, and that a person who hadn't read the books might be a bit lost.You are not allowed to view links. Register or LoginYou are not allowed to view links.

I'm reading the last book of the All Souls Trilogy and enjoying it! I quit reading The Sheik Retold after about 30%. It's really bad.Ella - I love your google drive too!! I read Knight and liked it ok, but wasn't crazy about it. Isn't that the one where she calls him "daddy"? LOL Demaris, have you read any of Kristen Ashley's Fantasyland series? You watched Game of Thrones, right? If so and you liked the Khal Drogo storyline you REALLY need to read the Golden Dynasty (book 2 of the Fantasyland series).You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login It is straight up Game of Thrones fan fiction! ;-) I liked GD, but my favorite so far from the series was #1, Wildest Dreams. I thought the book was a great escape! Her writing style takes a bit to get used to with all the clothing descriptions etc, but I can look over that stuff since these stories are so much fun to read.I loved the first 3 books of the TMI series, but was extremely disappointed with the 4th book and think that the series must have originally been intended to be a trilogy. I was really excited to see the movie but I thought it was horrible. So much of it was just sooo bad! There are also spinoffs from the book series that are really good too! Check them out.
I have the series I've not read them yet though! I saw the movie in the theater when it came out though
And? Really? FFnet? For all their supposed "follow the TOS", what I'm hearing is not good. Sigh. And I like reading from that site. I guess I will have to figure out how to work the other sites. *shakes head*
Great, what are they up to now?
