OMG .... I am loving this series more and more with each instalment, I haven't been as drawn to a book series since i started to read Harry Potter. This instalments story line took me on an emotional journey from the first page and this remained the same to the very last word on the last page. I like how we had a new location in this book as it has been set in Idris, the city which is the home world for the Shadowhunters and their families. It was good in a way that we saw and heard about the histories, cultures and the traditions of the Shadowhunters including what daily life is like for them. This book has lots of twists and turns during this story line and i am not going to spoil this for anyone who wants to go on and read this for themselves. As i read the book i could feel the tension build and build until we have the final battle in the city and Jace and Clary have to face their father and return the Mortal Instruments to their rightful place in the City of Glass.
