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 Rating: 4/5
This series is pretty addictive, and each book seems to be better than the last.
There seemed to be even more action in this book than the previous two combined. The final battle is where the majority of the action occured.
There were a number of plot twists, but I didn't feel like any of them were shocking. I saw the main one coming a mile away.
There seemed to less of Clary in this book, which in a way was a good thing because I thought that a number of other characters really developed because of that.
I didn't really like how the book was no longer set in Brooklyn. I didn't feel like the new setting of Idris was developed enough.
Jace was a character that I liked in the first book, but he seems to be getting weaker and weaker as the series progresses. He was really mopey in this book.
