City of Glass
by Cassandra Clare
I always love going back to the Shadowhunters Universe, but this book might be my favourite in the series so far.
I enjoyed the scenery change and I could see Idris build in front of my eyes in all its archaic beauty. I read every bit of the world-building and fell in love with that country while feeling bummed because the TV show didn’t cover as many of these Idris scenes.
As much as I love Cassie, I will never forgive her for making us think Clary and Jace were brother and sister. Oh my god, the heartache.
Jace speaking Romanian?! Imagine my shock as a Romanian native speaker. It was so random, but it made me laugh. And I appreciated the proper grammar and vocabulary. It showed some effort from the author to get everything right despite the fact that most readers wouldn’t bat an eye if there was a mistake.
The friendship budding between Jace and Simon was a good change of pace. I was looking forward for them to bury the hatchet, just as I was hoping that Alec would grow the courage to come out and finally start working on being happy with Magnus.
The ending of this book - oh my god! I loved the scene where they raised the angel and Raziel brought Jace back. I was tearing up, even though I’ve read and watched that scene in the show a few times by now. It always gets me.
Spoiler:
How could Cassie kill Max?? I loved that kid. My heart broke for the Lightwoods and for Jace, for the life that kid would’ve had and the Shadowhunter he would have grown into. And in the show, Max is a much more complex character. He’s adventurous and stubborn, and he’s a perfect tracker who outs Jonathan. In that regard, I preferred the show’s approach.
