City of Glass - Cassandra Clare

City of Glass was a fun brisk paced book. It was much better than the previous two in the series. I feel that was because there was a lot happening and the story all tied in together. I felt that it moved at the right pace without slowing down, and things weren't explained in great depth to slow the flow of the story down. It was a typical third book and end of trilogy where the story wraps up easily and the good guys win in the end, but not without cost.

I felt the descriptions of the fictional Shadowhunter home land of Idris and the city of glass itself, Alicante, were delightful with just enough information to give you a basic description but little enough to allow the reader to use their imagination to construct a remarkable landscape unlike anything I have read of before in any other novel.

Knowing that this book will be made into a movie in the coming future lifts my spirits. I just hope they can do it justice with the imagery. Watching the full story play out on the big screen will be something to look forward to.

This book is worth the read to finish the trilogy and get some closure on the world of shadowhunters. However I have just been made aware that there are two further stories in this series that I will be listening to very shortly, as well as a prequel trilogy set in Victorian England.
