The Mortal Instruments: City of Glass

Like the second book, CITY OF GLASS picks up right where CITY OF ASHES left off. Clary who is no longer dating Simon, is getting ready to go to Idris, the home of all Shadowhunters. The story centers around the events they have all been dreading, with Valentine and the Mortal Instruments. The reader will see very little of the New York life they are use to seeing as in the first two books. However do not fret! You will not be disappointed in this at all!

There are even more twists and turns and 180's in this book more so than the last. All the questions are answered, like "Why can Simon walk in the daylight?", "Are Clary and Jace ever going to be happy?", "Does Alec come out to his parents?" and "What happens with Clary's mom?" All are answered and even more so. This keeps you on edge and constantly reading, you will find yourselves pulled back into the Shadow world where you cannot help but to read and read until there is nothing left in the pages to be read. This book is by far the best of all 3, and yet it isn't the end, there is still more to come!

Sayonara!

The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes

The second book of the 6 book series, CITY OF ASHES, begins where CITY OF BONES left off. Torn between her best friend (now boyfriend) Simon and her (wish he wasn't but he is) brother Jace. Clary has to fight to keep her family together from her long lost and crazy biological father.

This book has some twists in the story that are completely unexpected and new to the readers world and imagination. She and Jace learn new things about each other as well as what their father has done in his past. The reader is privileged enough to follow some of the other characters within the story, such as Alec, Simon, and Jace. Which allows the reader to see inside the minds of those that are near impossible to figure out and results in a new found or deeper love for each.

The ending of the book makes your heart drop and then leap for joy within a matter of 3 pages and leaves the reader begging for more.

Conclusion: 4 stars

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones

The first book in the trilogy of THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS series. It is set in modern time in New York/Brooklyn/Manhattan. The story line follows 15 year old Clary (Clarissa) Fray who is witnesses a murder, however when she confronts the attackers the body disappears before her eyes. Soon she is thrown into a world she never knew existed however someone very close to her did and did everything in their power to keep her away from it all.

The story is very very well written and played out, there is not too much information that would overload the casual reader and on the other hand does not bore the avid reader. There is plenty of action and war for the romance haters, but also romance for those who loves sex books. This book is widely attractive to any reader and captures and takes them on a ride not soon forgotten or pushed out of the memory.

Cassandra Clare has a talent not so often bestowed that can capture the attention and keep almost every age of reader.

Conclusion: 4 1/2 stars
