Summer Book #16

Mortal Instruments Book 3: City of Glass by Cassandra Clare

This book finds them all in Idris. Clary needs to go to find the man who can help heal her mother. Jace and the Lightwoods need to go because there is some big meeting and all Shadowhunters are expected to attend. Jace doesn't want Clary to go, so he lies about the time they are leaving, but asks Simon to explain this to Clary. Too bad it doesn't work that way. As Jace and the Lightwoods are leaving through a portal, they are attacked by demons. Simon is hurt, so he is taken through the portal too. Oops. Downworlders are not allowed.

Clary finds out that Jace and the Lightwoods left without her. She uses her 'powers' to create a portal of her own to get to Idris. Luke comes with her. Again, Oops.

The Shadowhunters prepare for war with Valentine. We are introduced to Sebastian, who is not who he seems to be. Jocelyn shows up in Idris. Valentine has all he needs to summon Raziel, and a huge bombshell is dropped. (A bombshell that I figured out in the first 150 pages, I might add.)

As good ad the series has been so far, this is the best one, and the longest. I didn't really notice the length, though, because I couldn't/didn't want to put this one down.
