City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare
4.0
i am SO angry. yes, this book is better than the first but the ending? the way clary acts? what jace does???? bro wtf
first: malec is just đ i just love the little things about alec and magnus, even though it appears in short moments, its great
second: really? in the beginning of the epilogue clary is acting like everything is still normal with her and simon and they are still together. really????? she admits she likes jace more than she should and that she wishes she could love simon like that in the middle of the book but then she is kissing simon in the end??? girl, are stupid?! and more than that: she isnât nice. she continues in a romantic relationship with simon knowing she doesnât love him. if simon hadnât been the smart one and called it off, she would be not only making herslef suffer, but making him suffer and would have prevented simon from finding someone that he could love and that could love him back. clary, not nice. at all.
third: again, is she stupid? i thought i would be mad at jace in the end after he says he was going to stop being egoistic and âforcing his feelings on herâ and was going to be just a brother to her. but then i realized that even tough this characters are really really stupid and doesnât seem to understand and interpret emotions and actions from others (its not that hard, honestly), jace is right. he doesnât seem to get that she loves him, but he is doing something nice and selfless, so i agree. and now i think i like him (crazy, right?).
and i know the mortal instruments is inspired on harry potter and clary is supposed to be ginny SO WHERE IS GINNYS COURAGE? ginny says what she thinks, goes for what she wants. clary just... stands there. and i get she is thrown off after he says that, but if she had said what she wanted, i REALLY doubt jace wouldnât kiss her like he was dying. so again: she. is. stupid.
she goes on and on to luke that he should have told her mother he loved and blablabla but she doesnât do the same??? clary please just stfu
fourth: although i am pretty mad at her, her power (its kind of a power, right?) is so cool!!! i already knew she could do it, but i didnât remember the little things or how she did it first to test on alecs arm and he almost told his parents about magnus (so close!)
i am complaining a lot BUT its only because iâm really invested on the story and the characters. and i honestly finished this book 10 minutes ago, so my feelings are all over the place now. i think the way things are going, i will give one of the tmi books 5 stars! yay!
