The Mortal Instruments: City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare




 I decided to grace myself with a bit of The Mortal Instruments, seeing that I hadn't touched this series for a long time. So I took out City of Lost Souls from the library and started reading.

However entertaining this book is, I have to say that I kind of wish Cassandra Clare had finished the series in Book Four. I feel that that's when the plot value for this series fully exerted itself. All this book contains in a bunch of sexual tension between Clary and Jace. The whole thing about their relationship gets tiring after a while, and you end up skipping parts of the book because you get bored. To be honest, I didn't enjoy this book as much as City of Bones or City of Glass. It was all pretty much fluff like a really well-written fanfiction of Clary and Jace. There wasn't really an substance on there, talking upon the plot, introducing problems and solving them. All the dynamic characters all of a sudden turn into static characters in this book, making boring in a way. That being said, these book don't fail to entertain the reader. It's the prefect book to turn to when you're out of things to read and need to take your mind off something.

I had to say that this book kind of dissapointed me plot-wise, but I still have to argue that Cassandra Clare is one of the best author with the power to take the reader's mind off anything. However, be sure to read the first book first seeing that this all happens in chronological order, and if you don't you'll be hopelessly lost.

I recommend this book to teens who enjoy reading about Downworlders, vampires, magicians, and adventure!

*** I give this book a 7.5 out of 10***
