Review of City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare


Well.... Jace is now a servant of evil, bound for all of eternity yo Sebastian - no sorry, Jonathan Christopher Clary's brother. Only a small band of Shadowhunters believe that they can save Jace and split him from Sebastian. However for them to succeed they must defy the Clave and break the laws which have been in place for centuries. This means that they must act without Clary as she is to close to both of them Jace and Sebastian. 


However it turns out that Clary is playing a very dangerous game herself and the price of losing is not just her life at risk, it is also Jace's soul. Clary is willing to do anything for Jace and she has to find out if she still trusts him with her secrets. Or is he truly lost? 


This instalment from the Mortal Instruments is a fast pace and intense story line which starts right of the bat on page one. Even from the cover art which is of Alec on this book. It starts with Simon losing his family and being kick out with no where to go. Then we find that Jace and Sebastian have gone missing and they appear to some individuals which adds to the suspense of the story line during the book. The writing style which Clare using in this book helps with the very fast pace that this story line has. I love that she reinforces that every light magic act and dark magic act balance themselves out and that this is the main undercurrent for the demonic elements of this book.


Every instalment of this series gets better and better and will always be the series i will recommend to fantasy fans. For your copy click the following link:https://www.amazon.co.uk/City-Lost-Souls
