A review by mtully03
City of Glass by Cassandra Clare
5.0
Let me just say that THANK GOD CLARY AND JACE ARE NOT REALLY BROTHER AND SISTER! I know that as an adult reader these young adult books are extremely predictable, and I can't pretend like I didn't see this coming from book 2 (when the Inquisitor questioned the star scar on Jace's shoulder), but still, I actually said out loud "thank god" when we officially found out. Call me a sucker for romance, but I wanted it to work between those crazy kids. I also wanted to believe that Clare had original ideas, and did not take ALL her themes from Star Wars.
My review of the first book was Okay, but I've actually begun to really like these stories. At first, I thought Simon turning into a vampire was ridiculously absurd, but I get why she did it. I also started to enjoy the changing of narrators through this book. It happened more than once (what was up with that in the first book?!?) and helped you get to know other characters better.
To be honest though, I don't know why she came up with a fourth book. Most of the things you wondered about are closed. I know she tried to leave some conflict open at the end of the book, what with Clary wondering about her other memories, and the prediction of Jace falling in love with the wrong girl, but honestly - who cares? I don't even want to read the 4th book because I was extremely content with the ending of the series with the ending of the 3rd.
Can anyone let me know if the fourth is actually worth reading? Or will it just make me upset?
