It was 2013, I got my first kindle and this was the series I decided to read. There is a me before and after those events.
Ok, I was at the end of my family vacation and there wasn't anything I wanted more than to escape for a few moments. THIS BOOK WAS IT. Clary was amazing, and honestly everything a teenage of color wanted to be (there are some problematics things here, but let's skip those), Jace was everything a girl could dream to love e be loved by, and I didn't need much more.
I want to discloure here in the early reviews that I absolutely love fantasy romance and the more complex the better. This book only semented my love for it. The world, culture, and everything created for these is so good. Years later and I still don't know how to explain why I love these books the way I do. I want to say it's well written but maybe it's the plot that's so out there ~for time it was written~, I mean talk about a plot twist. I've read them all so many times that I could probably quote a number of random passages at any given moments.
Anyway, like Twilight I got some life lessons, and still don't know how or why. There's something about seeing strong women not only being physically strong but mentally, but also seeing they being vunerable and it being okay, because shit happens and you don't have be strong all the time. But, they being badass was awesome.

Eu nem sei como eu me senti com esse livro, conheci um pouco mais de cada um dos personagens e a fui me apaixonando mais por cada um deles, e gente, que ódio ter gostado do Sebastian, nunca me odiei tanto por isso.
Cassie acertou muito, não retiro a minha opinião sobre o Simon do segundo livro, porém nesse, ele mostrou o seu amadurecimento e a evolução, Luke seguiu sendo um querido e um paidrasto perfeito para a Clary.
Fiquei triste com a Morte do Max, não queria que ele tivesse morrido e ver a Izzy se culpando cortou o meu coração, mas vamos ver como essa história vai acabar
"City of Glass" is my favorite of the series so-far. I loved that we got straight into the premise of the plot immediately and didn't waste any time closing out the time jump between books. The pace is so good. A ton of action and some cliff-hangers compel you to keep reading. For some reason, whenever I would sit down to read the book, I found myself lost in the pages. I would read over a hundred pages and finish multiple chapters without getting bored or restless. I cannot explain why I found myself lost in the pages of this book, but I did.
I also enjoyed the development of certain characters, especially Simon's vampire arch. I liked Simon more in this book. I will admit thought that I was frustrated with Jace for a bit early on in the book. I also got a little annoyed how Alec is often ignored or cast aside by not only Jace but Isabelle. He is not listened to a lot of the time, even when he announces that he has some important information. He is often shooed away whenever Jace does not feel like talking to anyone. Alec is eighteen though and the oldest of the trio! He says it himself that he, as the only adult of the group, is the only one allowed to talk to the Clave and escort people to them. So why do Jace and Isabelle not take him seriously or listen to him half the time!? Alec is probably now one of my favorite characters, and I now prefer him over both Jace and Clary by a bit for now. Why must he be blamed and argued with so much!?
I also hope to see some character development with Clary. She does not stop to think and will not listen to logic and reason!!
"City of Glass" is awesome. The Mortal Instrument Series has only gotten better.
We delve deeper into the psychology of the main characters and we meet Sebastian, which I found super interesting.
In this book we find hard truths, sacrifices, revelations and unusual alliances. Sassy Jace and Badass Isabelle are still the best reasons to read this series, but almost all of the main cast has their own moment in the sun.
Last books that had me hooked like this: The Heir Series.
