About this book-
To save her mother's life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters - never mind that entering the city without permission is against the Law, and breaking the Law could mean death. To make things worse, she learns that Jace does not want her there, and Simon has been thrown in prison by the Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of a vampire who can withstand sunlight.
As Clary uncovers more about her family's past, she finds an ally in mysterious Shadowhunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadowhunters forever, their only chance to defeat him is to fight alongside their eternal enemies. But can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their hatred to work together? While Jace realizes exactly how much he's willing to risk for Clary, can she harness her newfound powers to help save the Glass City - whatever the cost?
My thoughts-
Shadow hunters must put aside there differences with vampires, were wolfs and the other downworlders to fight in a war against Valentine. But will they be able to that? With all this happening will Jace and Clary decide if they can be with each other.
At the beginning i was skeptical as i had no idea what was going to happen, i didn't know what to expect. Honestly at the beginning Clary was really annoying, she wouldn't do what she was told, she was determined to find Ragnor Fell Clary will do anything to safe her mother. At the beginning Clary acts like a child by the end of the book people stop and finally listen to her.
I really liked Jace, all he wanted to do was to protect Clary to keep her away. But he also wanted to find out who he truly is there are many questions to be answered. You see the softer side of him, you don't see the usual Jace the strong, fighter, you see the caring side of him. I think that is why i liked him more then i did in the other two books.
The pace was slow at first, everything sort of happened in the middle and the end. Questions were answered though in between i think that is why i carried on reading because i wanted to know who Jace really is, i wanted to learn more about Sebastien. The writing was in great detail it didn't take much effort to imagine what everything looked like. Cassandre Clare writing is very detailed, the battle scenes in this book were really good.
I have this book 4 stars on goodreads, i did enjoy it towards the end. I thought the ending was perfect, each character grew in there own way through out the book. The reason didn't give it five stars was because at times Cassandre Clare writing could be a little too long when she is describing something other then that i really enjoyed reading it.
Thank you for reading, If you have read this book what did you think of it?
