talkstowolves | I’m ready for my close-up, M. BuzzyMAG!

I made my debut over at BuzzyMAG this week, which means you should hop on over there if you’d like to read my thoughts on City of Heavenly Fire, the final volume of Cassandra Clare’s The Mortal Instruments series:

Let’s say you find yourself at the helm of a commercial success – in this case, oh, Cassandra Clare’s The Mortal Instruments series. Besides suddenly discovering you are Cassandra Clare (unless you were already), you will realize that this commercial success has brought you a movie adaptation, writing vacations in the French countryside, and many more storytelling opportunities. You might also be interested in the following list of DOs and DONTs.

DO write your characters with integrity.
DON’T sacrifice story to shill to your fans.
DO spend more time finishing your current series than setting up the next.
DON’T write like your ticking items off a list.

Does Clare stick the landing? Only one way to find out! Well, to find out what I thought, anyway: follow me to the rest of the review.

(And check out the rest of BuzzyMAG while you’re there. Original fiction! Interviews! Regular content updates!)
