fallonhodge 's review for:
City of Lost Souls
by Cassandra Clare
There are so many aspects of this book that I just absolutely loved! Im not even sure where to begin.
First thing I love about this book is the change in Clary. To be clear I've never disliked Clary but she did frustrate me quite a bit in the previous books. But my God! I feel like she redeemed herself in this book.
"without thinking clear she grabbed his (Sebastian) shoulder and shoved him out of the way, hard. He staggered back as a demon struck and Clary rose to meet it with a dagger she had yanked from her belt... she drove the dagger home gutting the creature open… Jace was fending off two demons Clary swung her arm back and threw the dagger. It soared through the air and struck the creature… Jace whirled around and seeing her he winked"
I seriously had a fist pump reaction to this part. I won't lie I was getting real sick of Clary being completely useless and a damsel in distress every time they got into a battle situation. Especially when most of the time it was her recklessness that got them into trouble in the first place.
She kicked ass in this book...It was awesome.
Second aspect of this book that I love is the way Sebastian tugged at me. I really wanted to like this character. Even after everything he had done I was hoping he could be redeemed.
"you asked me who I belong to" said Sebastian.
Clary paused with her cup of chocolate halfway to her mouth. "I did?"
"Yeah" his eyes studied her face intently. "and I don't have an answer".
She set her cup down, feeling suddenly, intensely uncomfortable. "you don't have to belong to anyone," she said. It's just a figure of speech."
"Well, let me ask you something now," Sebastian said. "Do you think you can forgive me? I mean, do you think forgiveness is possible for someone like me?"
