“The thing about the Mirror is that no one knows where it is. In fact, no one knows what it is.”"It’s a mirror,” Simon said. “You know – reflective, glass. I’m just assuming.”

In City of Glass we continue the story of a love that cannot be, the search for a remedy to awaken Clary’s mother, chaos due to the rise of power from Valentine and a hard decision that has to be made in Idris about fighting with or against the so detested downworlders.

I have been saying I want to read further in The Mortal Instruments OVER and over and because of our Unfinished Business Readathon I finally made some progress again. And I must say, this was my favorite of the serie up until now. Maybe that a change of scenery did the trick, or the introduction of new characters or maybe because we got more answers in the why and how of Valentines schemes.
Besides, I loved the big portion of storylines we got with Simon, Jace and Sebastian. All of these characters have a certain humor that I just thrive on. I know that a lot of you aren’t big fans of Jace, but I love that sarcastic kind of humor that is just a mask for a big, big insecurity.
In addition to the characters o found that the pacing of this book just was in point. It took enough time to explain, it had a lot of twists, some tears, some mild spice and it had huge battles too. All in all I enjoyed this book and can’t wait to start the next one.
