The Mortal Instruments series is one of the reasons I do not read YA anymore. Bad enough that the series had every kind of emo fangirl dream creature in it. Even the implied incest wasn't the worst part of the series. Even though, "OMG, we're actually not brother and sister!!" "LET'S MAKE OUT," did make me want to vomit. No, the worst part was how many times while reading the series I suddenly yelled "called it!!" to the delight or dismay of everyone around me. Really, honestly.. there was not a single plot point that I didn't predict. And by itself, that wouldn't make it a terrible series. Just a shallow one. But put together with all that other stuff and you've got a wonderfully shitty series.
My two cents.

I can say it was Predictable but i stll believe it was a really good series. I didn't care. Though some of it was a shock. But then again i don't think any series has been able to surpise me since the Harry Potter series. I've learned of the many tricks authors can pull.
