This isn't my favorite fantasy series, but every time I read one I end up liking it. I listened to this on audio, and it was a great listening choice. There were times when I could hardly drag myself out of the car because I was so tense about what was happening to the characters.
I loved the book the first I read it and I loved even more the second. There are so many little things that I forgot or didn’t pick up the first time. I’m so glad I decided impulsively to reread this series. This def one of my faves.

Posible spoiler / revelación sobre la configuración de la saga:
Es un libro chulo, para mi gusto creo que está algo rusheado, pero not bad.
Buen desarrollo de Clarita y Jacinto para resolver sus problemas de orígenes. Creo que Cassandra ha hecho buen trabajo para que logremos empatizar con Jacinto, lo cual me parece bastante un logro porque mi sensación es que me caía fatal (aunque culpo a esto la visión que tengo de él de la película).
Buen librillo, buen cierre. El epílogo es un festival de buenas vibras para cerrar arcos de parejas.

resulta que en realidad son dos trilogías, que este libro resuelve la movida de Valentine.Es un libro chulo, para mi gusto creo que está algo rusheado, pero not bad.

Me ha resultado mu gracioso el desarrollo de en realidad me la pela si somos hermanos, yo te quiero, pero dos capítulos más tarde aparece la madre comatosa revivida y da lugar al momento páginas con borde negro (flashback para los que no son weabos) y resulta que NO son hermanos y que Clarita sí que ha besado a su hermano, pero es el otro pavo del que se pilló momentaneamente con magia. Es que simplemente magnífico jasdjasjdajssajdkasdksa.Buen librillo, buen cierre. El epílogo es un festival de buenas vibras para cerrar arcos de parejas.

As always with books I've read before I don't quite know how to review them. Like all other Mortal Instruments books I've read City of Glass before, but it was a few years ago and my taste in books changed a bit.
I think the first half or so of City of Glass is my least favourite part of the first three Mortal Instruments books and that is mostly due to the characters. Clary and Jace are the most annoying people ever, no wonder everyone is sad and off to do crazy shit if they don't talk to each other. Isabelle is also not a very likeable character in this book to be honest (even though I usually like her a lot).
As shit as he is, I like the introduction of Sebastian. For one, because he's an interesting character (who makes the lives of all my faves hell) and because I know that I like the last three books of the series more (character-wise that is, plot-wise I don't have big problems with any of the books).
I'm so glad that Alec is one of the few characters in this book that actually DOES shit. He's so much better at it than Clary or Jace. He and Magnus together will always be some of my favourite parts of the series.
Clary also finally showed her strength and she found out about a million more truths. What made reading this book so painful was knowing all the secrets and seeing the protagonists acting stupidly just because they don't know what's actually going on. I'm so glad they know so much more now.
What I still don't like about Cassandra Clare's books are the unnecessarily long descriptions of bloody everything. I just can't stand it. While reading I often skipped whole paragraphs / jumped to the next dialogue line because I don't need to read ten sentences on someone's emotions that are actually quite clear from the dialogue itself.
Otherwise I really liked being back in this universe, even though I don't think I still love it quite as much as I used to three years ago.

much better than the second - this last book of the trilogy was very enjoyable. In this there are lots of plot twists, death, devastation and hope. Overall, I liked the trilogy.
