Didn’t start strong but got a hell of a lot more interesting as it progressed!
I'm going to start by saying how much I loveee Cassandra Clare's writing.
This book wasn't a disappointment. In fact, I happen to know lots of people who loveeed this series way more than the original one. (I don't because JACE IS BAE❤️) but still I really really liked it.
So it starts with this new yorker called Tessa (which you probably heard of if you read City of heavenly fire before this) who comes to London looking for her dear brother. She then encounters three strangers who claim to be there in name of her brother. Of course she's suspicious, but I MEAN IT WAS A LONG TRIP so she goes with them.
Well, surprise surprise! They're not who they say they were and she's not who she thought she was. So because destiny is fair (I'm not actually being sarcastic, I believe this to be a good thing) Tessa crosses paths with the shadowhunters of London. She then embarks in a mission to find her brother and bring to justice whoever has hurt him. While doing that, she meets said shadowhunters who happen to be strikingly beautiful ( WILL IS ALSO BAE, sorry Jem I like you but wadoyouknow?) and struggles with her relationships with them. So basically is a book about, learning who she really was, falling in love, getting her heart broken and finding a home and hoper when everything was lost.
Couldn't put it down. Wasn't the best I've read but overall it was really entertaining and would recommend everyone to give it a try

Aiaiai ich hab volle Kanone vergessen, dass die so 16 und 17 Jahre alt sind in diesem Buch (Wtf oh Mann ich werde alt) und, dass der mainplot sich in so 3 Wochen abspielt?? EEEWIGKEITEN nicht mehr gelesen und ich glaube damals im Peak-pubertärer-Schattenjäger-zeit habe ich die Reihe bestimmt 3 Mal gelesen leuts.... Ich hab das Buch dieses Mal so nebenbei als Hörbuch gehört das erste Mal auf Englisch, und ICH KANN NICHT mit den ganzen Schattenjäger Begriffen auf Englisch??? Stiiilii anstatt Stele? Krassomat. Der britische Akzent der Vorleser:innen hat mir aber sehr gefallen, weiß aber nicht ob ich es ein weiteres Buch auf Englisch durch schaffe :)))
Plus... Ich glaub ich mag ihre zwei neusten Reihen lieber als diese hier tbh, aber vielleicht muss sie einfach komplett rereaden!!

To Be Published August 2010. I love reading a prequel that is better than the original series! The Mortal Instruments series started with City of Bones, continued with City of Ashes and City of Glass, and a fourth book, City of Fallen Angels, will be published in March 2011. The Infernal Devices books will be a trilogy (or more, I guess, if they sell well) also--yay!
Tessa, a sixteen-year-old orphan, travels solo across the Atlantic to Victorian England to join her brother in London. But her brother doesn't meet her at the port--the Dark Sisters do. The Sisters keep Tessa captive while teaching her to use her "talent." Tessa can change into anyone else, dead or alive, as long as she holds something of that person. Spooky, huh? Eventually Tessa is rescued by the Shadowhunters (recognizable from the Mortal Instruments series) and she is thrust into a fight between the Shadowhunters and the Magister of the Downworlders.
I loved this book more than any in her other series and anxiously await the second title. She has a way of combining werewolves, vampires, humans and automatons together. Love that Clare conquered steampunk!
