City of Glass

City of Glass is the third in its series called The Mortal Instruments. It is a good read, and I enjoyed it. There is only one thing that I disliked about it, and that was how the author, Cassandra Clare, has taken out one of the key characters named Luke. I mean he is still in the book, but he isn't as important in this book like he was in the first two. However, I do love how the author created so much emotion in the rest of the characters. For example, one of the main characters is named Jace, and he is always battling himself. It seems like throughout the entire book, he is beating himself up about things he could never control in the first place, and it just leaves you aching. Also, another main character by the name of Simon, has to battle his conscience because someone called the Inquisitor wants him to be in allegiance with him instead of Jace. The major theme in this book, I believe, is to follow your own instincts. Throughout the book, Clary must find a cure for her mother's self-induced coma, and she is always doing what she believes to be right. However, an underlying theme is to never just think about yourself, because throughout the series, Clary has often only cared about herself, rather than stepping back and thinking about her actions and what were possible outcomes to what she did. And that often cost her many things. My recommendation for this series is that you should read them. The series keeps you interested, and shows great emotion throughout each installment.

I am in love with Cassandra Clare and her well written books of the mortal instruments and infernal devices. Cassandra Clare is the reason i want to become and author. City of glass is my favourite book of the series i read it in 4 days flat you know reading after school. Thisbook is amazingly well written it's packed full of characters, action, war, heartbreak and romance. this book is amazing and i recomend it to everyone. i also can't wait for city of lost souls coming out on May 8.

I LOVED the Infernal devices series, so I thought I'd love this series as well, but I just can't get through one chapter without having a mental argument with the author. There is WAY too much cringe-inducing romance, governing political forces make little logical sense, literally every plot "twist" can be predicted, characters seem extremely one-dimensional, and the list goes on. . .a good read for younger teens but not for older readers.
