Synopsis: To save her mother's life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters - never mind that entering the city without permission is against the Law, and breaking the Law could mean death. To make things worse, she learns that Jace does not want her there, and Simon has been thrown in prison by the Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of a vampire who can withstand sunlight. As Clary uncovers more about her family's past, she finds an ally in mysterious Shadowhunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadowhunters forever, their only chance to defeat him is to fight alongside their eternal enemies. But can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their hatred to work together? While Jace realizes exactly how much he's willing to risk for Clary, can she harness her newfound powers to help save the Glass City - whatever the cost?

Review: Well, I'm a little confused about everything. This is only the third book, right? It seems like Clare could have ended the series with this one. Most of the loose ends were all tied up...and people FINALLY started admitting their feelings for each other! ...Sorry, spoiler alert.

I think I hate the characters MORE in this book than the first and second books. I saw a lot more of their stupidity in this one. Magnus is my favorite character, though, and, surprisingly, I agreed with quiet a few of Jonathan's (the real one) views.

And OH MY GOSH I SO CALLED IT THAT JACE AND CLARY WERE GOING TO FIGURE OUT THAT THEY WEREN'T RELATED THAT IS SO AWESOME!!! I am really, really glad that Jace and Clary, Alec and Magnus, Jocelyn and Luke, and all the other couples got together. It was about time! This is exactly why I think that this should have been the last book. Everyone's happy together and Valentine's dead. Where else can Clare go from here?

So, I'm starting to dislike TMI again. I don't dislike it to the point where I'm going to knock off a star because there was some stuff that I still enjoyed, but if the next books don't improve, I might have to.

If you LOVE TMI and haven't read this book, READ IT!!! If you already hate it to the point where you want to rip it into a million pieces...for your sanity, stay away from this book.
