Summary:
Clary Fray is a Shadowhunter, a demon slayer who has the gift of spotting Downworlder werewolves, vampires, and faeries. She is also an adolescent in an abnormally dysfunctional family: Her mom is in a magically induced coma and her father is probably insane and undoubtedly evil. All of which places Clary in situations that would challenge even the most talented average American girl.
Book Review:
OOOOH! I loved this book just as much as the first. I have to say I might have even enjoyed it even more. After reading the first book I had very high expectations for this one. Let's say I was not disappointed. There were ups and downs for this book. There were some very emotional parts, and parts where I was laughing my head off. I like how Cassandra Clare can write a very emotional scene and then have a super funny one afterwards. The plot was really well done, but I have to say that I liked the characters more. Simon is my favorite though. I have a soft spot for guys who are the best friend of the main character. Plus he is just overall pretty good guy. Jace is funny in a sarcastic kind of way, but he is also arrogant, and charismatic. I'll just leave it at the fact that I really enjoyed this book and that if you liked City of Bones you will love City of Ashes. I will have to get around to reading City of Glass, and look for a review of Clockwork Angel which is coming fairly soon.
The Mortal Instruments:
Enjoyed this series too!
