I feel a new obsession coming on. I can't get these books and characters out of my HEAD! I loved it so very very much, I couldn't stop reading. City of Ashes is the second book in Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments quartet. Events take place directly after where the story in City of Bones finished. The story is told in third person and mostly from the perspective of Clary, including her confusion over her relationship with her new found brother and her feelings for Simon.
"If you missed the first book in the Mortal Instruments series, buy multiple copies and watch both books fly off your shelves… The interaction between Clary, Jace and Simon, Clary's on-again, off-again boyfriend, is fascinating, the plot is fast paced, and the battle scenes are straight out of an action movie."

"Those who have read the first book will still enjoy the second I'm sure. The characters start to develop, but they don't completely change. Things are always moving forward. And the ending makes you want more; there are tons of unanswered questions that I honestly can't go on not knowing.
"This has all the elements of the first. You get to see more in depth of this new world that Clary was thrown into. Different points of view are presented more often. You still get a lot of Clary's point of view, but you also get Jace's, Simon's, and a few other characters. This dosen't make it hard to follow so there is no need to worry there.
"However, I couldn't like this book to the same degree as the first. It was still good but there wasn't as much action in the first half of the book as I would've liked. It's got more drama going on. The love triangle or square or polygon is constantly resurfacing. I still gave it 4 stars because the second half of the book makes up for the missing action in the first half. Things are still going on in the first half, just not as much.
"Clary still isn't a great shadow hunter with all these great skills at fighting but she does get some marks and discovers new talents."
