My rating: 5/5
My official rating for this book is 5/5. I loved the plot and the follow up on the trilogy which apparently is set on wikipedia to be 6 books long (i thought a trilogy was three :-P). The way that Cassandra Clare lets you follow almost everyone in book and has more than one main character appeals to me. I really enjoy seeing things from Simon's point of view in this book imperticularly. I'm happy it's not like other books I've read as it is truely one of a kind. I can't wait to read City of Lost Souls which is set to come out May 8th, 2012. THANK YOU CASSANDRA CLARE FOR YOUR CLIFF HANGERS, AND MAKING ME COME BACK FOR MORE.

Sincerely,
 Sidny

Book Review: City of Glass by Cassandra Clare

Title: City of Glass
Author: Cassandra Clare
Series: The Mortal Instruments (Book 3)

"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 Sebastion. 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?Love is a mortal sin and the secrets of the past prove deadly as Clary and Jace face down Valentine in the final installment of the New York Times bestselling trilogy the Mortal Insturments."

I rate this book a 5/5 it had everything I look for in great books, a great plot, amazing characters and something that just made me ignore reality and dive head first into this book. All the other books were interesting enough but nothing, NOTHING, kept me as hooked as this final book in the trilogy. (Well their is actually one more that I plan to read next....) I hope if people make a film that they potray this book as I did. It's amazing! I had all the images set out clearly in my mind. THANK YOU CASSANDRA CLARE FOR YOUR INTERESTING TWISTS!Sincerely, Sidny

Book Review: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

"When Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder. Much less a murder commited by three teenagers covered with odd markings. This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of deamons- and keeping the odd werewolves and vampires in line. It's also her first meeting with gorgeous, golden-haired Jace. Within twenty-four horse Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in an ordinary mundane like Clary? And how did she suddenly get the Sight? The shadowhunter would like to know..."

I personally rate this book 4/5 and I have only one reason it didn't make 10/10. I guessed the end of part one. Maybe because my mind is always expecting the unexpected or waying the possibilities. After part one I feel deeper into Clare's fantasy world. By the end I was completely hooked and like usually loving all most of the characters. This book shows rebellion and something else I love, a strong female protagonist!THANK YOU CASSANDRA CLARE FOR CREATING SUCH AN AMAZING FANTASY WORLD!Sincerely, Sidny
