City of Glass


Cassandra Clare
541 pages

The final book in the Mortal Instruments trilogy answers a lot of our questions. Clary wants to save her mother and would anything to accomplish that so she travels to Idris. Simon gets pulled in to after a surprise attack on Jace and the Lightwoods almost gets him killed. Valentine finally makes his move against the Clave and no one knows how to stop him. Luke tries to reason with the clave the Downworlders can help but prejudice runs deep. Can our characters work together to keep The City of Glass from Falling?

Poor Simon is in prison for most of this book but he ends up okay. If okay entails having the mark of Cain on your forehead though. Clary goes against everyone's advice and warnings with little consideration for others but that works out for the best too. Jace is kind of sullen since he thinks he's evil and not a ton of fun. Sebastian is creepy but no one figures this out until it is too late. Finally we are told Jace and Clary are not siblings! I knew I was right it just took forever to get to the truth. Poor Jace just keeps turning out an orphan thankfully the Lightwoods like him. I'm excited to see how the next trilogy moves on from this point.
