I remember really enjoying her books! I started with the Mortal Instruments and the Infernal Devices, and though they were initially quite difficult to get into fully, she has a way of making me get attached to the characters and the world she had built.

I like the way she writes dialogue between the characters, her style is funny and enjoyable, but her descriptions of the characters' thoughts and feelings are a little too dramatic and exaggerated sometimes, which annoys me a bit. Her plots and characters are really good though so I don't mind it as much in the grand scheme of things.

I really love her books because they are the one that got me into reading in the first place after watching the show Shadowhunters and now Iown all of the Shadowhunters Chronicles. The way she writes makes it so easy for me to just slip into the world inside the book and I absolutely love it.

Clare's writing style is thrilling with a touch of humor. The humorous exchange of words lighten up the story's pressuring conflicts the characters undergo.

I'm still slowly making my way through all of her books. I got such a late start to them because I was busy devouring so many other books in the genre. But I can easily see why her books were recommended to me by so many people. I genuinely enjoy her storytelling style. It's so twisty and fun; I especially love listening to it via audiobooks. So, while I started out reading her books in physical format, I've been continuing my way through them via audio.

I’ve read almost all her books, and when you pay attention, her writing style really is good.
all’s fair in love and poetry

I read only 3 of her books. The style seemed great at the beginning, but it got boring after while. Couldn´t make myself read more.
