By our junior journalist Jessica Budd
The Mortal Instruments Series:
City of Ashes
Blurb:
Amid the chaos of war, the Shadowhunters
must decide to fight with Vampires, Were-
wolves and other Downworlders-or against
them. Meanwhile Jace and Clary have their own
decisions to make: should they pursue the love
My Review:
Jace and Clary are forbidden to be together, Valentine is declaring war,
everything is chaotic. Clary is in Alicante, Idris, she is on a mission to help
her mother, Simon is dealing with the sacrifices and obligations of being aDownworlder and Jace is becoming more and more detached from every-
body. All the chaos all at once, then try adding in another character...
meet Sebastian.
A new country with new problems to face, new characters to deal with,
hidden talents and at the core of all of this a forbidden love between the
best couple. Who will survive this rollercoaster of feelings and war, physi-
cally and mentally?
Quotes:
Dagger-sharp, funky and cool. Christopher Golden
Lush and fun. Kirkus Reviews
Will Jocelyn wake up? Will they win the war, defeat Valentine? Will Jace
and Clary overcome the obstacles in the way of their love? Will Alec
