City of Glass Book Review

Hey

Another book review which is from my Autumn Reading List #1 and its the third instalment of The Mortal Instrument Series. 

The Mortal Instrument: City Of Glass

Cassandra Clare

Published: 2009

541 Pages

Description:  

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.

Review

Storyline: This book continues from where the last book finished, so everyone is still trying to defeat Valentine who is hatching a plan to strike Alicante. The story was very well written and it kept me hooked right till the end, where some secrets are revealed and everything finally falls into place.

Overall: I absolutely loved this book. I had an inkling about some truths regarding Jace which turns out I was right (yay me). This book is on the sad side as some much loved characters sadly die. And of course the book had to end the right way, I really enjoyed the book and look forward to the next one. 

My Rating: 5/5

Would I Recommend?: Oh yes!

Till next time

City of Ashes Book Review

Hey friend

The other day I finished the second installment of The Mortal Instruments Series which is featured on my Autumn reading list and I promised a review so here it is :)

City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments #2)

By Cassandra Clare

2008

453 Pages

Description: 

Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like Werewolves, Vampires and Faries? If Clary left the world of the Shadow-hunting behind, it would mean more time with her best friend Simon.

But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go - especially her newfound brother Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down Rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil and also her father

Review

Storyline: I quite liked the storyline for this book, it pretty much follows on from the first book, only this time Valentine is trying to destroy the world and Clary and Jace must fight against him to save the world. The storyline between Clary and Jace is a little disturbing as this is aimed at Young Adults and would probay gross them out but it's not featured too much so you could probably just look past that.

Characters: Most of the characters from the first book are also in this one, with the exception of a few new ones. As the story progresses, each character is explored a bit more and you find out things you might not have figured out from the first book. Each character is well thought out and you can get a sense of the struggles they face throughout the book.

Overall: A great second installment of the series, didn't like the fact there wasn't many chapters but I'm looking forward to reading the next one.

My Rating: 10/10 

Would I Recommend?: yes, if you enjoyed the first book then I've no doubts that you will enjoy this one :)

City of Bones Book Review!

Hey guys!

I mentioned in my Summer Reading List blog that I would do a review on the books that was listed so here's the first one for you :)

Mortal Instruments: City of Bones #1

Cassandra Clare

2009

Description: When fifteen-year old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder, much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons.

This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadow-hunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. Within twenty-four hours Clary is attacked by a demon and her mother disappears. The Shadow-hunters  are very interested in her.....

Review: I was pleasantly surprised by this book. You know how they say "don't judge a book by its cover"? Well Im not one to usually judge but I have to say on this occasion I did and the book cover didn't appeal to me one bit, but then I heard a movie was being made on it so I decided to put my judgement aside and I give it a go. Once you've read one of the YA books you've pretty much read them all but I'm glad I did. The storyline is average and easy to figure out, the relationship between Jace and Clary is cute and their humour is funny, leaving me actually laughing out loud. Rubbish ending but I guess that's the point as it leaves you wanting to read the second book.

My Rating: 7/10

Would I recommend?: Yes!
