Summaries
Add a Summarya girl whose got major issues with supernatural creatures and the worlds worst father attempts to keep him from destroying earth with the help of her friends and brother whom shes in love with...yep MAJOR issues there...
I couldn't put this book down. It's a great sequel to City Of Bones, you could even say it's better. It has its problems, but those are things you can get pass because the story just absorbs you completely. There was a lot of action and suspense with this one, but it was equally amazing. I can't wait to read City Of Glass!
Notices
Add a NoticeViolence: there was like a ton of kick ass fighting and shaz! so ya...READ IT OR DIE FOOLS!
Coarse Language: you mean like swearing? kids if your concerned about that, you shouldnt even be in the teen section...
Other: if we were disscussing gender i suspect that Clary's probably in this category...
Frightening or Intense Scenes: you mean like my mom's face? besides that i cant think of anything...
Sexual Content: hell yes!
Coarse Language: Some of it..... not that much, really.
Violence: There is one battle near the middle/end but nothing really bad in it. Also a lot of blood involved throughout the story.
Quotes
Add a Quote"Okay."
"What do you want me to tell you? The truth? The truth is that I love Simon like I should love you, and I wish he was my brother and you weren't, but I can't do anything about it and neither can you!"
"Enormous?" said Jace. "Did you just call my fat?" "It was an analogy." "I am not fat." - Jace and the Inquisitor"
"Is standing by the window muttering about blood something he does all the time?" asked Simon. "No," Jace said. "Sometimes he sits on the couch and does it."- Jace and Simon Isabelle looked dubious. "Mom and Dad won't be pleased if they find out." "That you freed a possible criminal by trading away your brother to a warlock who looks like a gay Sonic the Hedgehog and dresses like the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?" Simon inquried. "No, probably not."- Isabelle and Simon "We need to talk. All of us about what we're going to do now." "I was going to watch Project Runway." -Clary and Jace
'They were eating raw shanks of lamb and arguing about who would win in a fight: Dumbledore from the Harry Potter books or Magnus Bane. "Dumbledore would totally win. He has the badass Killing Curse. But Dumbledore isn’t real. I don’t think Magnus Bane is real either, Have you ever met him?" "This is so weird, Are you listening to them?"' City of Ashes, book two of the series, pg. 447, by Cassandra Clare.
“He clung to her more tightly, knotting his hands in her hair, trying to tell her, with the press of his mouth on hers, all the things he could never say out loud: I love you; I love you and I don’t care that you’re my sister; don’t be with him, don’t want him, don’t go with him. Be with me. Want me. Stay with me. I don’t know how to be without you." - Jace Wayland”
"Jace suggested the cast of "Gilligan's Island" could go do something anatomically unlikely with themselves."

Add a CommentI really enjoyed this book, practically devoured it. Loved the story of Simon. Jace is really rounding out as a character. Clary is becoming stronger, too, which I was desperate to see. Can't wait to read City of Glass!
hey did you guys see the video here?! i was so scared...
This book was amazing. There were parts that had me on my feet and screaming! Very well written
I couldn't stop reading! It was so good!
Simply Amazing.
an amazing book that i can never stop reading
Slow start, once i got pass that I couldn't put it down...
Amazing!!!! Just as completely awesome as City of Bones. I loved this book. A lot of shocking stuff happened. The characters were still the same as the first book, although they are developing. I love the funny dialogue that is in the book. Wonderful job Cassandra Clare!!!
Enjoyable
happy to say this book didn't disappoint... most of the time the sequel to the first cant put up with the competition to the first.. that didn't happen in this case:D loved this almost as much as city of bones and ahh it just kills me to read some of these parts and not cry.. anyone else feel like they just wanna jump in and hug a character or save them or fight alongside them.. or maybe tell them the truth.
