City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare


Do not read this if you haven't read City of Bones because this review will contain spoilers!

Clary and the Shadowhunters are back in this sequel to City of Bones. The Clave suspects that Jace is acting as a spy for Valentine, his father, and ends up in the Silent City. While he is there, it comes under attack and the second mortal instrument, a sword, is taken. Clary, Jace, Isabelle, Alec, and Simon must stop Valentine from killing children and from using the mortal instruments. Clary and Jace must also fight their feelings for each other now that they know they are brother and sister.

I really like the plot of this series and I find the books very engaging, but the incestuous feelings between Clary and Jace are kind of creepy. I have a feeling they will find out that they aren't really brother and sister, but for now, it's really weird! It really is hard to get past that part of City of Ashes, especially since I have a brother and... eww! I will definitely read the next book when it comes out, though, because I want to know what happens. I want Clary and Jace to be able to be together so I hope they aren't really brother and sister!

3.5 out of 5 stars (for the creepy incest)
