Back Cover: Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go
back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter,
your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see
Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the world of
the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon,
who's becoming more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to
let her go -- especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. And
Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter
Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil -- and also her father. To
complicate matters, someone in New
York City is murdering Downworlder children. Is
Valentine behind the killings -- and if he is, what is he trying to do? When
the second of the Mortal Instruments, the Soul-Sword, is stolen, the terrifying
Inquisitor arrives to investigate and zooms right in on Jace. How can Clary
stop Valentine if Jace is willing to betray everything he believes in to help
their father?
This is the second book in the Mortal Instruments. Clary is
standing on the edge trying to figure out if she really wants to be a part of
the Shadowhunter world her mother has sheltered her from or just be normal.
There is so much going on in this book that you just keep reading because it
takes you on a ride. This one is just as good as the first one if not a little
sadder. Clary not sure who she should be trusting. Jace becoming a more
isolated by his own actions. While Simon and Clary explore their relationship
with each other. The confrontation with Valentine made the climax of the
story. I can't wait to read City of
Glass to see what will happen next.
