I loved this book. It is amazing. Jace is a heroic character who isn't perfect and is struggling with his own anger issues. But he recognizes his weaknesses and works hard to overcome. The violence that he describes towards himself and his brother and mother is tough to read. This is a lot of swearing, sex is not described though it is implied.
