City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

We continue the story of the Shadowhunters as Valentine, already in possession of the Mortal Cup, steals a sword from the Silent Brothers (the name of the sword escapes me, I’m sorry).  Valentine wants to change the sword’s allegiance (good to evil) to summon a demon army to bring down the Clave.

There is a lot to unpack with this continuation!  Always something new in each chapter. 

Love Simon and Magnus.

Not a fan of Clary or Jace so far.

Not as good as the first book, but entertaining in its own right.
