City of Glass (The Mortal Instruments) Book Three
Love is a mortal sin, and the secrets of the past are deadly. Plunge into the third installment in the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series and “prepare to be hooked” (Entertainment Weekly).
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 Shadowhunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadowhunters 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 newfound powers to help save the Glass City—whatever the cost?

She wants him...he wants her...they each can't have that forbidden fruit...or can they? To add to the mix, they have to fight off their attraction to each other while saving their universe and mankind. Oh, did I mention the father is truly as evil as they come? Non stop action.
This books was great. I love fantasy adventure stories. Vampires. Werewolves. Warlocks. Demons. Awesome.
The characters are easy to get attached too and I love being able to see everyone point of view. There is so much to follow and so many different things it just makes the story really great. All the details and twists and turns. It's the making of an epic story.
I really want this to be made into a movie. Like really really badly.

I enjoyed how this book was incredibly fast. Once everything started going it was difficult to put down. Book number 2 spent too much time obsessing over the relationship between Clary and Jace. This book had that element, but I was more interested in what was happening everywhere else within the story. I was grateful there was a lot of other story for the reader to focus on.
In the Mortal Instruments series I have enjoyed this book the most. I will admit I still haven't finished the books, but I did like that this one ended. The stories were tied off and it would be easy if I were so inclined to stop reading here. I will admit to enjoying Ms. Clare's stories enough to continue.

I continue to be impressed with Clare's ability to combine material from other stories into something quite different. She's still borrowing heavily from the Buffy and Star Wars canon, but Clare has brought her trilogy to a satisfying conclusion. The background behind Jace and Clary's supposed siblinghood is revealed, and some explanation is given for the startling abilities Clary exhibits in previous books. Although some of the explanations and resolutions are fairly predictable, the process of getting to them is enjoyable.
My last reading session lasted 66 minutes! This was a re-read. As of today, I have read "City of Glass" twice in my lifetime. I finished reading at 8pm 9/23/21.
