I didn't read this book cover to cover, but I made it about 3/4 through. I don't intend to finish it. The essays are okay; a lot of them seem to just highlight pretty obvious (to me) themes in Mortal Instruments. There were a couple essays I enjoyed, particularly the one about New York City as its own character, and another one that breaks down the “appeal” of incest or taboo.
