"Knowing is better than not knowing. Every time."
★ Clary is still extremely uninteresting and forgettable, but she has awesome rune creating powers.
★ Jace grew on me in City of Glass, but he still does a lot of problematic things. He makes decisions for Clary because he wants to protect her. He says awful things to Clary, his family and his friends. He breaks a window in someone else's house.
★ Simon seems more sure of himself in City of Glass. He's also more mature and seems to be above all the teenage angst.
★ Isabelle is freaking awesome. I love her so much!
★ Alec actually has a little bit of a personality in City of Glass.
★ Magnus Bane is one of the best characters Cassandra Clare has ever written. He makes Alec likable.
★ I'm on board the MALEC ship.
★ Luke deserves all the happiness in the world.
★ From the moment Amatis was introduced in City of Glass, I couldn't help but love her.
★ Sebastian. Enough said.
★ City of Glass takes place in Idris, the Shadowhunter country, and I liked the change of scenery.
★ I've read City of Glass before so I knew all the major plot points and how the events were going to play out, but I was still invested in the characters and couldn't turn the pages fast enough to see what would happen next.
★ My biggest problem with The Mortal Instruments series is the incest. I couldn't get behind Jace and Clary as a couple because of the whole sibling thing. I know that they aren't really siblings, but they don't know that and they keep on pursuing a romantic relationship with each other and confessing their love for each other. Clary also ends up kissing her real brother. Like why even?!?!? I am however eager to see how Jace and Clary's relationship progresses when I reread City of Fallen Angels now that they know that they aren't siblings.
The Mortal Instruments series seems to get better with every book. I was more attached to the characters, the plot progression and pacing is much better and it's nice to see Idris. I really liked City of Glass.
"What a night, Clary thought. A night of so much pain for everyone."
