City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare

4.0

City of Lost Souls centers on a desperate struggle. Jace is bound to Clary's malevolent brother, Sebastian, by Lilith's powerful magic. The Clave seeks to eliminate Sebastian, but doing so would also kill Jace.
Undeterred by the grim situation, Clary refuses to abandon Jace. She embarks on a perilous quest to sever the magical bond, no matter the cost. Others, including Alec, Simon, Magnus, and Isabelle, join the fight, determined to find a solution.
The mystery of Jace's true self lingers. Can Clary trust the one who returns, and is he still worth the danger she faces?
While my interest waned at times, particularly regarding the focus on Clary and Jace's relationship, the overall narrative remains engaging.
