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 faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who may be more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go especially the handsome, infuriating, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down Ex-Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil and also her father.
To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder children and when the second of the Mortal Instruments, the Soul Sword, is stolen, the Inquisitor arrives to investigate and zooms right in on Jace.
This book is the sequel to City of Bones and it is as amazing as the first. In this breathtaking sequel to City of Bones, Cassandra Clare manages, again, to lure me back into the grip of New York City's Downworld. This time love is never safe and power becomes the deadliest temptation. This book gave me chills as I read it. I found myself becoming more and more connected to the characters as I read further and further. Cassandra Clare really goes into depth with these characters and their emotions. It is proven that this book is a definite page turner and will keep you interested. I was very interested at the beginning and by the end I was more interested than I ever thought possible. There were times when I was reading this book that I had to close it and put it down for awhile because the events that were unfolding were having a great effect on me. I would literally put it down and just sit there and think on it or I would get up and occupy myself with something else for. Clary, the main, character is faced with even bigger challenges this time around because now she actually is a shadowhunter who has to learn how to deal with the world around her and all of its little secrets, and all she really wishes for is to be normal again. I think it’s kind of sad because she was used to the life that she lived and now she has to go though these life altering experiences and she’s only 16. It’s not just that though it’s also the fact that her mother, the only real parent she’s ever had is in some kind of coma and she doesn’t know how to help her. Honestly, I don’t know what I would do in that kind of situation and it kind of makes me think about my life. My mom is the only real parent that I have ever had and if something weird like that happened to my mom I don’t know how I would survive. I think Clary is a very strong girl and she’s someone that people could look up to. I know that she is a fictional character and she will never show up at my doorstep and I won’t be able to talk to her, but I still feel like people could strive to be more like her. I know I will. Another person in this book that influences me is Jace and that’s because he never gives up. He is always willing to protect people that are close to him and I just want to be able to do that too. I know it may sound strange, but truthfully that’s the way I feel. I have really connected with this series and I am so excited to read the next book. Cassandra Clare is now my favorite author and I can not wait until the 3rd book (City Of Glass) to come out March 29th 2008.
