Okay….I felt a lot better about this book. The plot picked up A LOT and I actually got to feel a little more connected to the characters. I absolutely love Jace…he deserves better than Clary…who is honestly one of the worst FMC that I’ve read in a while. Thankfully, the other characters make up for her lack of character. I’m excited to see where the next book goes.

3.0 bueno con este libro me demore un gran rato leyéndolo por el colegio pero igual no me engancho demasiado cuando el primero si me gusto y le puse 4 estrellas/ cuando termine este en mi estantería solo tenía esta saga (de los libros que no habia leído) así que no podía darle como un descanso a la saga aúnque el tercero pero gustó un poco más. La verdad a veces pienso que en verdad es como 2.8 porque había partes que enserio no me enganchaban. Igual no pierdo de en la serie ya leí el tercero( vean la reseña) y después conseguí mamá libros así que le di un descanso a la serie h es peor retomarla pronto. Bye bye.

My sister told me I can buy a pretty boxset of these books when I finally read them all (I have all the books but in different editions, it is annoying

Jammer genoeg moeilijker om erin te komen doordat ik het eerste deel zo lang geleden gelezen heb. Op zich wel een aantal heel leuke momenten in dit boek! Alleen voelde het een beetje te lang aan. Het had wel zeker kunnen profiteren van een goede editor. Ben wel benieuwd naar het volgende deel!

Whole chapters that could have been avoided: this is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking back to City of Ashes.
Obviously the story is interesting and I continue to like the setting and the atmosphere, but of plot (boring and predictable) and characters we are in bad shape.
Starting with the fact that if I couldn't stand Clary before, I can stand her even less now, and there is also added annoyance with Jace. He is absolutely stereotyped and his behaviors in reality would often be judged toxic.
As for their “romance”, I can understand the initial confusion after finding out they are siblings, but at the end of the book Clary is still in love with her BROTHER. That they didn't even know each other all their lives and have to twist their relationship… that will be two weeks in all.
The only characters I like are:
1. Alec (my dear love) who if he doesn't start appearing more in the third book I swear I will email the author
2. Luke who is the only character with common sense

I will read City of Glass and then no more of The Mortal Instruments. Later on I will start The Infernal Devices.
