City of Ashes:
3.25/5

- yk i could really do without the whole
making clary and jace kiss while they still believe they're siblings
but yk thanks bc i definitely needed that in my head. that was so gross i was actually disgusted. it wasn't that they kissed, it was that they kissed while they
sTILL BELIEVE THEY ARE SIBLINGS

- idk if Cassy Clare meant to make The Inquisitor an EXTREMELY unlikeable character, but if she did, she did a damn good job of it. i
celebrated when she died

- valentine is also an extremely well written villain. i like his charm but at the same time it's what makes me despise him
- i personally liked City of Bones more but this was still nice :)
- i liked the action and the humor that we established in the first book
