Quick Summary
City of Lost Souls picks up right after the previous book, with Jace mysteriously gone and a new villain, Sebastian, pulling the strings. Clary takes a huge risk, infiltrating the group planning to unleash an ancient evil, while her friends fight off demons and try to keep the city from collapsing. The mix of fast-paced battles, clever dialogue, and the ever-present romance between Clary and Jace makes the story feel urgent and personal, and the twists will keep you guessing until the very end. If you love urban fantasy with a lot of action, sarcastic humor, and a dash of romance, this one's for you just be aware it has stronger language, some suggestive scenes, and fairly intense fight scenes, so it's best for teens who can handle that level of grit. Fans of the series' earlier installments or anyone who enjoys the blend of magic and modern New York in books like The Raven Cycle will feel right at home.
