The Mortal Instruments: City of Glass by Cassandra Clare

Sometimes I wonder if should hate Cassandra Clare because of all the heartache she puts me through. When you are a fanatic reader like me, you begin to have a certain addiction for a lot of books. Especially when the two people (Clary and Jace) you want shipped together cannot because it's incest (which isn't illegal, but it's slightly gross). Anyway, I just finished the third book of the series and I just realized that the series is not called "Mortal Instruments" but "The Mortal Instruments." I apologize for any confusion there. Other than that, the third book of this series is a mix of the first and second. There is romance, action, a lot more magic, but in this case the story is a lot more about trust. Like, do you trust your father, the man you spent most of your childhood with? Or do you trust a best friend who is a different creature? Or can you trust a werewolf and vampires and Fair Folk and warlocks? I think this book is deeper than the others and holds more meaning to what it means to be a Shadowhunter. Nevertheless, I hope that Jace and Clary don't let their feelings get in the way of their duty to the world.

Just a prediction for the next book: I think the real Jonathon is going to come back and destroy the world. -Mary
