City Of Lost Souls

  Thank you Cassandra Clare!
  This book was everything I have ever hoped for and much more!!! It was epically awesome, but I have to say when I finished the book I had a bad feeling in the bottom of my stomach. I think that City of Heavenly Fire will not be all peaches and cream, it will probably be filled with darkness and other stuff I don't want to think about.
  Here are some thoughts I had after reading the book:
-Sebastian is out of his mind and what he did was totally incest!
-Clary is so super awesome and bad-ass!!!
-Poor Amatis!
-Jace will probably never forgive himself...
-The Lightwoods have some serious emotional problems... Stupid Alec!
-Simon and Izzy are so cute together!
  For me, the highlight of the book was when Clary tried to escape and totally kicked Sebastian's ass! I LOVE how strong CLARY has become! She has her super shadow hunter senses, and she is so good at fighting and taking care of herself now! Last year if you asked me who my favourite character was, I would totally say Jace. However, after really City of Lost Souls, Clary is officially my favourite character! I think she is so much stronger and has to bear the burden of so much more things then Jace. Even though Jace is all tough on the outside he is actually a very vulnerable person. I probably will never forgive him for what he did in City of Fallen Angels. I can't believe he pushed Clary away because he thought that he would hurt her more or something, look where that got him. It feels like Clary has always been the one chasing after Jace and trying to save him, while Jace is running away from his friend's help. Also Jace feels too guilty for things that were not his fault. Something Isabelle said about Jace really stuck with me, she said "Jace is in love with the idea of dying". Jace always wants to save everyone first. It is a good thing to believe in self sacrifice, but once your self sacrifice starts to become more of a problem for others then it isn't self sacrifice any more. What he was doing was more like a self destruction, which ultimately ended up badly. So yes, Clary is the best because she believes in self-sacrifice too, but she also would not let what had already happened haunt her and dictate her own actions.
  Now back to Sebastian, I find the fact that he is obsessed with Clary very disturbing. Notice I didn't say "in love" with Clary, because we all know Sebastian is incapable of love. Sure he might seem like a real person, he might seem like he cares, he might seem that he can love, but he is really just emotionless. He does not love Clary, he does not care for Clary, he does not feel for Clary. He only wants her because she is his sister and he has a twisted sense of preserving bloodlines. I mean he said it himself, all he wants is for her to know that she is his. Like Clary will ever belong to anyone but herself. I am not even going to say the levels of wrong Sebastian has deluded himself into wanting, but bottom line is it will never work not in a million years. As I said to Lillian, Clary and Sebastian will never be together not for as long as I can see it or read it!
  I am super mad at Alec. He is so insecure and has not a single idea what a relationship should be like. Not that I have any experience, but I know that he should not be trying to find out the pasts of his boyfriend from some vampire who happens to be a manipulative and evil. He should also not try to shorten the life of his boyfriend without his consent! What the HECK Alec? Have you ever thought about why Magnus doesn't want you to become immortal? It is all for your sake! Have you ever heard of "live life to the fullest"? Well dwelling on the past is not "living life to the fullest". Have you never heard of trust??? How can you trust Camille more than Magnus??? GOSH!!!
  Okay, I can probably write about this book alllllll day long, but I am going to stop now, because if I really do start I will probably never stop...
