City of Ashes

               ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️4/5 Stars

I thought at first I was reading the wrong book. Liked I'd skipped the 2nd and gone straight to the third. After a few pages I realised it was the right one, so don't be fazed if that happens to you. 

Not sure how to do this so I'll go with the easy option and write it in list form. 

*SPOILER ALLERT*

*Clary and Simon kiss

*Jace gets locked up in some creepy cell underground

*The Silent Brothers are all killed

*Valentine is the culprit behind the attack

*Clary comes to the rescue

*Jace goes to see his Father

*Simon is turned into a vampire

*Jace is held prisoner again by the Inquisitor 

*Jace escapes 

*Valentine unleashes monsters from hell

*Simon nearly does along with a Werewolf girl named Maia 

*Infact a lot of people nearly die

*The Inquisitor deffinately does die

*The ship they are all on falls apart

*Valentine escapes 

*Clary and Simon decide to just stay friends 

*Clary and Jace decide to just stay Brother and Sister 

There's probably loads more things I've missed out but that's pretty much the gist of what happens. 

What I did notice was that they made out like Jace had known who his real Father was for years and that he had lived with Valentine at some stage in his life. I may be wrong but that's what it sounded like. 

I quite like this series. They're something different. Would recomend reading them.
