Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

The third book in the Mortal Instruments series is as fascinating as the first two, City of Bones and City of Ashes. In fact, the three books actually are one huge book split into three volumes. Each subsequent one picks up where the previous one left off without either a break nor any explanation what had gone on in the story before. Unlike some other series, where each book can stand by itself, the only way to read the Mortal Instruments series is in the correct order.
Clary finally is going to the City of Glass, to Alicante in Idris. She wants to find Ragnor Fell, who is said to be the only one able to help her mother, who is still lying unconscious in hospital. But Clary does not arrive in Alicante the way she thought she would. As it turns out, the city also faces some never seen mayhem courtesy of Valentine. And both, Clary and Jace learn what shocking thing Valentine has done to his son, what he made him.
It is extremely difficult to tell anything useful about the gist of the story in this series without spoiling it. Just as difficult as it is to put the books away once you opened the first page. As I'm now through the three books in record speed, I finally can catch up on lost sleep...
