City of Ashes is the second book of The Mortal Instrument series. I thought this book’s plot was better than the first one but still lacked much character development. The villain wasn’t very intimidating and didn’t seem all that clever.…

Reading this as an adult brings to light several observations I did not have when I was a teenager. For one, Jace and Clary have no romantic tension between the two of them so it's a mystery why CC leaned so heavily into the incest plot…

‘City of Ashes’ represents the second novel in the ‘Shadowhunters’ series authored by Casandra Clare. Imaginatively, the author situates two of the key storyline protagonists, Clary and Jace, as secret siblings. As such, while their…

It was a little uncomfortable to find out the Jace and Clary were siblings after the first book... but luckily the audience gets distracted by this with the development of Simon and Clary's relationship. That bit of information almost…

This second book in the series did not waste anytime. This allows for more development in the characters relationship with each other and it was very nice not having to review the first book. So starting off with the big new relationship…

This is my favourite series by far, best franchise. The book always makes you feel like your in the action at all time.

This book immediately started with action, and dived right into the plot of the story, which I appreciate since sometimes sequels will spend a lot of time going over what had happened in the previous book. I listened to the audiobook of…

If you enjoyed the first book in this series, you will definitely enjoy this one. It jumps straight into the action and includes a lot of plot twists. This book focuses more on the relationships between character to character, including…

This was a great book,though it was a bit slow at some parts. The ending was not as expected and I liked the first book better but still a great book in the series.

Overall, great! My only problem is that the climax was somewhat anticlimactic and only really made sense after the fact. The first book was better, but I'm still hooked!

This was an amazing read. I reread this book so I can reminisce about the characters that made me fall in love with Shadowhunter World. In rereading the book, I caught many details that I missed the first time I read it. I love the…
