Welcome! This is The Review, my review on YA books that I have read. I try to Blog on every book I read after I read them and I read as fast as I can but it takes me a while to read a book if it's long. I use books to escape and I hope you can escape into books yourself because it's the best place to be for me, even though most of the books I read are quite dark. Just warning you. Leave comments!

Mortal Instruments: City of Glass by Cassandra Clare

Blurb:
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 Shadow-hunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadow-hunters 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 new found powers to help save the Glass City -- whatever the cost?

Review:
This book is the best book I have read in this series so far. It is mostly set in the City of Alicante in the country of Idris. The native home to the Shadowhunters. There are secrets that the other books built up to. Everything changes in this book, everything that happened in the first two books, all the unanswered questions are answered in this book.
The way the perspectives change, leaves you hanging on the edge and keeps you reading until the very end. This book has fights and alliances and everything the first two books had too.
Jace and Clary have to work out their relationship, they have to try to be brother and sister. Jace has to find out what he really is and why he and Clary are so different to the rest of the Shadowhunters.
You meet new characters in this book too. People who add to the story more. But the book also looses some characters.
This book is full of twists and turns and sharp corners that will leave you breathless. A truly amazing book.

I just want to thank my friend Ciara for recommending it. :)

Can't wait to read City of Fallen Angels
