A review by laurencarr
City of Glass by Cassandra Clare

2.0

The first thing I read from Cassandra Clare was Chain of Gold. Followed immediately by Chain of Iron. I love the Shadowhunter world. Plus the idea of Edwardian English women dressing in corsets and gowns plus all of their weapons gives history a fun little spin, out there fighting with the men and what not. I decided to start from the beginning of the Shadowhunter world, even though in time, the Chain books (The Last Hours series) happen before the City (The Mortal Instruments Series) books. I want to love MI, but they are just going downhill. I found myself not caring at all about the plot and characters. It almost felt like someone was reading to me from a history book. I’m going to keep going because there are so many characters and things I love about this. Hopefully it can pick back up.
