City of Glass by Cassandra Clare

City of Glass by Cassandra Clare

This was taken from goodreads.com/jess_readerwriter, I wrote the review freely and I apologize if the reviews are not written in a professional manner.

Synopsis: 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 Shadow-hunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadow-hunters 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 new found powers to help save the Glass City -- whatever the cost?


My rating: 4 stars of 5
Last 200 pages was the action

Just for future reference -- don't hate on grammatical, spelling, or formatting errors. I'm using my cell phone to type this and my phone likes to write things all by itself without my consent.

To the book:
I loved this book the most out of all of them. It made my heart smile. Although I know there is more to the series. I'm now currently reading City of Fallen Angels.
In the beginning of the book, it's taken place a week (I believe) after the events in City of Ashes. Trying not to give any spoilers but as we know from the synopsis, Jace does not want Clary around. In other words, he doesn't want her to go with him to Idris.
There are times when I read books and the main romance is shined apon the majority of the story. I get angry or frustrated whenever the guy (Jace) yells at the girl (Clary) or doesn't want her there or pretends he doesn't care. That always kills me inside.
With City of Glass, I didn't feel that type of frustration. I knew Jace loved her and after his spats, I realize that he knew he was wrong unlike most male romance characters. I liked that I didn't have to get angry as I read on through the book.
Now, a thing I didn't really like was, I didn't get what I wanted from the series until the last 150 pages or so. Be patient.
I loved how Clare didn't dwell on the romances the WHOLE TIME, she kept with all the action, made me feel like I was there and that's all I ask for. :)
The end of the book would have left me disappointed if there hadn't been a 4th book (Along with 2 others after that). I felt like there was something unfinished, yet, I felt like it was the happily ever after that most people wanted which made it a good ending.

Time to see if CoFA will be able to keep up with some more epicness.
