City of Lost Souls (Mortal Instruments #5)
By Cassandra Clare
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Jace is now a servant of
evil, bound for all eternity to Sebastian. Only a small band of
Shadowhunters believe he can be saved. To do this they must defy the
Clave. And they must act without Clary. For Calry is playing a dangerous
game utterly alone. The price of losing is not just her own life, but
Jace's soul. Clary is willing to do anything for Jace, but can she still
trust him? Or is he truly lost? What price is too high to pay, even for
love?
Review: What can I say about
City of Lost Souls. I really wish it
hadn’t taken me soooo long to read this because it was really awesome! At the
time I was reading this I had lots of nights out and weekends away so I
couldn’t snuggle down and enjoy this in a long stint. It didn’t help when each
chapter of the book were on average 30 pages! So once I finished one chapter I
would get distracted and not pick up the book for another few days. I really
enjoy the Mortal Instruments series and this one didn’t let me down. It picks
up right where we left off in book Four and takes you on a swoony ride. My My
there was so much swoon in this book, we don’t have only one couple to swoon
along with but four! There was so much going on (which was a good thing) with
so many storylines to follow. They all intertwine with each other so well and
keep the fast pace of the story exciting. I think the more and more I read this
series the more and more I like Clary as a female character. I haven’t always
had such a strong connection to her from the other books but something happened
for me in this. I think all the moments she had with Sebastian, and what she
was standing up for really pushed her into “Awesome character” for me. I also
like Simon a lot more in this one compared to four, I kind of hated when he was
turned into a Vampire and now he’s gotten to terms with what he is, not a
monster and I like that. Oh and I love all the references to her Infernal
Devices series, If you are planning on reading book 4 & 5 of The Mortal
Instruments seres without first reading her Infernal Devices series – don’t!
There’s some things that you will get better if you read the Infernal Devices
first. I can’t go past saying “damn that’s a cliffhanger of an ending”!
Cassandra Clare has done a fantastic job with this book, I can not wait to see
what adventure I’m taken on next.
On the cover: Awesome is an understatement for this cover. It's truly beautiful! Unfortunetly you cant see how pretty it looks with the above picture. The parts on their bodies that look like they are shiny, they really are shiny! If I hadn't read the first few books, I would still pick this up because its looks really interesting. Also, Clary actually does wear a red dress similar to that in the story so it does show what to expect inside. Oh how I wish this guy on the cover was playing Jace in the movie instead of the actor who is. This is guy is dreamy....
What I'm reading next: Witch & Wizard {Graphic Novel} by James Patterson
What do you think of the cover? Would you read this book based on it's cover?
