Hi there! I have mixed emotions about The Mortal Instruments: City of Glass by Cassandra Clare… Still
loved it but I do have a thing…
To save her mother's life,
Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters
- never mind that entering the city without permission is against the Law, and
breaking the Law could mean death. To make things worse, she learns that Jace
does not want her there, and Simon has been thrown in prison by the
Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of a vampire who can withstand
sunlight.
As Clary uncovers more about
her family's past, she finds an ally in mysterious Shadowhunter Sebastian. With
Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadowhunters
forever, their only chance to defeat him is to fight alongside their eternal
enemies. But can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their hatred to work
together? While Jace realizes exactly how much he's willing to risk for Clary,
can she harness her newfound powers to help save the Glass City - whatever the
cost?
Love is a mortal sin and the
secrets of the past prove deadly as Clary and Jace face down Valentine in the
third installment of the New York
Times bestselling series The Mortal Instruments.
I loved the book. In all honesty this series thus far
has been very captivating and completely heart tugging. I love it and I really
am happy I decided to start reading them. With that said, this book was
supposed to be the last installment of the series, I found that out of the
inside cover of my book… And it would have been a GREAT ending. A happy and loving ending but really only for Clary and Jace… Everyone else has loose ends that still
need to be answered which I assume is why she continued the book series and
made another 3 books? I really enjoyed this book though, it had me at the edge
of my seat and I finished it so quickly. I’m taking my time with book 4
because, well 1) I feel like the series already ended with book 3 and 2) SPOILER
ALERT Jace is acting really funky
in book 4 and I’m just not having that right now.
Again the
characters are great in book 3 and I love all the Luke scenes throughout. He’s the perfect father figure for Clary and even for Jace or Simon! There are huge surprises
and plot twists in this book that I didn’t expect but they all needed to happen. I guess
because I didn’t know it was supposed to be the conclusion I didn’t realize Clare needed to tie up some things for Clary. Also, the more I read the more I
realize I have an unnatural want to take Latin… I highlight as many Latin
phrases I catch and they literally hold my attention for a solid few seconds. I
appreciate her use of the Latin to show how old and ancient the Shadowhunters
really are. Brava Cassandra Clare!
Captivating, addicting and heart breaking!
Rating: 9.9/10
I bought my copy on Amazon
But it’s also available at Barnes and Noble,
Book Depository, iBooks and many more!
