City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare
2.0
I really wanted to like it. The previous two books that I read in the series I enjoyed quite a bit, otherwise I wouldn't have continued with the streak. But man, this one was a rough one for me.
The only reason I'm giving it two stars is because how good of a villain Sebastian is, he is truly terrifying and he just keeps getting worse. I think he was constructed beautifully as a villain because partly I could tell what was the reasoning behind his actions.
In this book it really shows that it was written for, I guess, needy teenagers because every time that any of the couples was alone, it turned into a charged make-out fest. When it happened the first few times, it was fine, but when that became a constant pattern with slightly cringy and cheesy wording, the book lost me and I despised each scene where a couple was alone as I knew what was to follow.
Only one more book to go before I complete the series, I'm getting my hopes up for the big finale!
