City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

adventurous emotional slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

i cant believe the two characters i tolerate the least are the main ones

therefore, i do have to say,
i LOVE reading them get the absolute shit kicked out of them, it's so therapeutic


also, why do jace and clary have more chemistry with literally any other character in the cast than they do with each other?

like jace
and raphael when raphael lent him his motorbike, and simon drinking his blood during the climax??? there's more to that than the entire incest storyline


and i was NOT expecting
the moment of self-awareness from
clary when she
thought "this is why you don't have any female friends, get a grip"
like damn girl!!! finally!!!!!! some character development!!!!!!!!! 

im mad. not the worst thing i've ever read, i think
