Well hello there internet, today i am here with a book review of the fifth book in the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. And oh boy am i excited.
As always i try not to spoil anything, but this is my honest review and i cannot promise it is spoiler free.
City of Lost souls is amazing. I can't really think of another word that encompasses how i feel towards this book.
I thought that nothing would come close to how much i love City of Glass from this series, but City of Lost Souls definitely gave it a run for its money! I laughed, i cried, i felt happy, i felt uncomfortable. It was brilliant.
I adored this addition to the story, even the parts that creeped me out and made me feel anxious. Everything about the story made me feel excited and i loved every second of it.
Jace...Jace broke my little heart. When he came back momentarily as himself he made me want to reach into the book and take him somewhere safe. Poor baby. Seeing him act so like himself and so un-like himself at the same time was horrible, yet captivating, and it was truly brilliant writing.
Sebastian made me want to hurt something. Mainly his stupid, smug little face, but as a bad guy, he was kind of great. I love a bad guy in a story, especially when you can't find a single redeeming feature, i think it makes you feel more. I hated him, but i loved how much Cassandra Clare made me hate him.
Alec and Magnus were the people who re-built my broken heart...and then smashed it all over again. I think everyone knows by now that Alec and Magnus are probably my two favourite characters in this series, and in this book they made me smile, laugh, and really, really cry. They make me so happy and so sad, and i love them both so much.
I think this is honestly one of the best books in the series, and the plot was just fantastic. So many twists and turns and truly wonderful moments. I loved every second of it. I was so skeptical going into this one for some reason, but i think it may have just topped the list as my favourite in the series.
