Book Review: City of Glass


Review:  #555
Title:  City of Glass
Series:  The Mortal Instruments - 3rd book
Author:  Cassandra Clare
Read Before:  no
Comments:  City of Glass started as like the previous two books, somewhat uninteresting and unfortunately, dived too deeply into the forbidden love between Jace and Clary.  While it still focused too much on the complex relationships surrounding Clary, the plot drastically improved from the middle of the book onwards, to the point where it hooks you in and there were some satisfying plot points during the climax.  The ending was surprising since provided closure to the major overarching plot of the series so far.  It presented a myriad of new concepts, all of which are interesting including the reasons between Jace's, Clary's and Simon's powers.  Some aspects were still predictable since too much obvious foreshadowing was used, such as the antagonist's identity.  The writing style has noticeably improved and it much more engaging now.  A good story and the world finally enough details for the reader to get lost in.
Rating:  7/10
