Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Aud

City of Ashes is the second book in The Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare. Clary now understands that Valentine is her real father and from the looks of it is also Jace's father. This tends to complicate their love for each other considered they are possibly brother and sister. Valentine has sworn to over take the clave by using a demonic army. All the while her mother is deep in a coma. Her best friend Simon is falling in love with her and her confusion on what to do grows stronger. She does not understand everything but is learning more and more with each passing day about her real life that her mother tried to keep her from. This series has everything from vampires, werewolves, warlocks, fairys and much much more. The writing style of Cassandra Clare is graphic however I enjoyed that I painted a better picture as I read what Clary and her group were up against.
