Book Review: (By: TAB Member R. Irwin)

City of Glass

This is a review of City of Glass, by Cassandra Clare.

Recommended for Ages 14 and up

BIBLIOGRAPHY 

Clare, Cassandra. 2010.  City of Glass. New York, NY:  Margaret K. McElderry Books.  ISBN: 9781416972259.

PLOT SUMMARY
In the third book of the Mortal Instruments series it is anyone's game now that Valentine has the second mortal instrument.  All that is left is the mirror.  Who will find that mirror first in this epic battle of good vs. evil.  And what will happen between Clary and Jace?

CRITICAL ANALYSIS
This book really kept me on my toes the entire time I was reading it.  The reader can never expect what is going to happen next.  Throughout the book, the author leaves you wondering what will happen between Clary and Jace.  Also, the tension is on as they prepare to try to stop Valentine before he tries to stop them!

REVIEW EXCERPT(S)

Starred Review, School Library Journal

“Clare continues her talent for mixing hip, modern humor with traditional fantasy, and fans eagerly awaiting the series conclusion should come away more than satisfied.”

Starred Review, Booklist
"Readers should be familiar with the first two installments in the Mortal Instruments series, but there is nevertheless plenty of romance, loss, honor, and betrayal to make the journey worthwhile."
