A review by meghapatel
City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare
3.0
3.5
Took a minute and half to finish this!
The story and plot was great and all but there was one thing that kept me reading pace slow. Clary. I like most of the character but Clary is probably on the bottom of the list. The only thing that kept me going was the plot and other character.
Clary is annoying and makes the stupidest and rash decisions ever. Don’t get me wrong, it makes for a plot twist but all she did throughout the book was whine about missing Jace and how Jace is not the same…blah blah blah. She is stubborn and naive. Running head first into a brick wall at all times. Like no girl, think it through first. Now Jace and Clary are not my favorite couple but I can deal with them. They are both reckless but in the end they would both do anything for the people they love. That’s the quality I like.
Now, for the characters I do like. Isabelle and Magnus!! Well, not them as a couple because reasons but individually. Isabelle was amazing in this book! She would not take crap from anyone and tell them straight up. As for Magnus…he is just awesome!! Alec was like a jealous little boy in this book and I did not like that. And how things ended for him!! Noooo. My little ship better not sink.
Also, I literally had tears when Brother Zachariah said “Two people…there are memories that time does not erase” All the feels!!
Overall, it was an enjoyable read but some parts were just plain annoying and frustrating. Still think book 3 would have been perfect ending for the series. I am just finishing the series because I want to read Lady Midnight and that occurs after this book.
