A review by dahabow
City of Glass by Cassandra Clare
5.0
This book was one of the best so far in this series! The plot thickened, the fighting scenes had me on the edge of my seat, the truth came out about Jace. I met Sebastian & Jocelyn woke up and was as badass as I was hoping for. Simon went through MAJOR development and JOCELYN × LUCIEN = YAS.
I was told that the series was originally going to be a trilogy, but I'm glad it isn't. Not because of the loose ends, but because there's so much more I want to see! I wanna see some more Malec, I wanna see how the Lightwoods and jace deal with their loss, I wanna see Simon happy with whoever (preferably Izzy bc I'm sure she loves him ;) ) & most importantly I'm intrigued to see Clary develop more. She started out as a teenager, whose biggest worry was...well what teens worry about. Now, she's survived a war, had a face to face ACTUAL interaction with Valentine till he...well, till raziel turned up. And she knows the extent of her powers. I wanna see her train and learn to hone them. I also want to see her relationship with Jace and also how her and Alec now interact....I basically want more! You can tell that I'm trying to use as little CAPS and AHDJFB as possible because this book deserves so many stars! Yes, there were some slow bits but I swear the last 200 pages are packed with tension, suspense, heart breaking scenes that you won't put it down. I mean I lost some sleep trying to finish this book!
What I'm trying to say is....this book has done it for me. It's peaked my interest to the fullest and now all I wanna do is lock myself away and read them all! But alas, school awaits...I'm still gonna read the rest! I looked on Cassandra's website and she's suggested I now read TID and then continue with the second half of TMI....So that's what I'll do!
