We start right
into the story after City of Fallen
Angels left off and Jace went missing from the rooftop and Sebastian/ Jonathan the-demon-blood-dead-guy was now missing
with Jace. Everybody is looking for Jace. Alec senses he is still alive but
something is not right. After two weeks of missing the Clave changes their focus and stops looking for Jace.
Clary and her friends go see the faire Queen to see if she can help them find
Jace. She agrees to help them if they bring her two Shadowhunter rings that allow
those who obtain the rings to speak telepathically. At the institute, Clary was
about to steal the rings when Jace and Sebastian show up to retrieve some books
on dark magic. Clary hides and is shocked to see Jace going along with
Sebastian like they are best friends.
Jace shows up in Clary’s
bedroom and tells her that Sebastian has a good plan and she needs to go with
him. He also tells her that he is linked to Sebastian and they can’t kill one
without killing the other. Clary decided to join Jace, this way she can find out what
they are planning. If she wears the ring and Simon wears the other ring they can
speak to each other. She has to play along with Sebastian
and pretend she is starting to trust him as a brother. After getting drugged at
a night club her ring goes missing and she has no way to warn the others about Sebastian’s plan to let free the worst demons on the world.
I thought this
was the final book of The Mortal Instruments but since it left a lot undone I’m
hoping it’s not. I liked the different story-lines that were going on throughout the book. Jordan and Mia who are werewolves are helping the shadowhunters
find Jace. Jordan hopes he can rekindle his relationship with Mia and that she will
be able to forgive him for turning her into a werewolf. Magnus and Alec are
having relationship problems as Magnus is immortal and Alec is not. Alec runs
into an old lover of Magnus’s and is trying to find a way to become immortal or
make Magnus mortal. Isabelle can’t stop thinking about Simon, Clary’s vampire
BFF, and Isabelle is struggling with finding a way to let him know she’s interested.
Clary has to find a way to save Jace before the shadowhunters kill him because
he’s connected to Sebastian and his evil plan. There is a lot happening all at
once and “Team Good” as Clary calls her group of friends has to stop “Team Bad”
before it’s too late.
It was an exciting and nail-biting read. If you like vampires, werewolves, demons, angels, fairies, warlocks, (did i forget anybody?) and whole secret society saving the world from the unknown, then you'll like this series. Cassandra Clare has a great imagination and makes her characters go through all kinds of hard times. Good news! They are turning the first book City of Bones into a movie.
