City of Ashes

Hello everybody as you may have noticed for my last post some part of it was alittle bit different.I'm trying to make my blog better with giving a better review so you may see some changes on my old post because I'm trying to make them  better.The point of review will still be the same but it will be more detailed.Last week I read the sequel of the Mortal Instruments.It is written by Cassandra Clare and was published in 2008.

The High and Low
.The characters feels more solid this time around
.The story also felt fresher and more exciting

.Yes I didn't like the cover
.While the most of characters becomes more solid some of the characters a re almost transparent

Quick Summary
(I highly recommend to anyone who has not read the first book yet to skip this summary because it contains spoilers)Clary's mom is still in a coma so for the time being she's living with Luke while Jace has been kicked out of the institute be cause Mayse(Alec's and Isabelle's mom)thought that he was a spy for Valentine.With nowhere to go Jace heads out to a bar where most of Luke's pack hangout .He picks a fight with the pack but is quickly stopped by Luke.As Jace explained what happen to him to Luke and Clary,Luke decided to come with Jace tot he institute to convince Maryse of Jace's innocence.Maryse was of course shocked to see her long lost friend who she thought was dead appearing in front of her eyes.Matryse still doesn't believe him so Jace decided to use the sword...............That's it for the summary

The Conclusion
I found the book to be suprising as I merely thought that the predecessor was simply good so I was expecting this book to be moderate but as I read the book I noticed the characters feels more stronger.Jace and Clary becomes a better character in their own way,the story was also more thrilling and exciting something that I felt lackedin the first book.Sadly characters like Isabelle and max was like non-existant.They weren't fleshed out Max didn't appear that much.This book definitely improves on the first book the characters and story are more engaging and it definitely makes me more excited for the third than the first book did with the second.
