In the last book our good guys come face to face with the evil Valentine and wow what a ride! I thought for sure Simon had died but he came back and better than ever. In City of Glass, Clary wants to travel to the Shadowhunters homeland in search of a way to break the spell keeping her mother in a coma. However Jace is, surprise surprise, keeping his distance and doesn't want Clary coming along so he hatches a plan to leave her behind. Like any good book this blows up in his face and Clary ends up coming along on her own accord and almost dies in the process.
Meanwhile the Clave has decided they do not want a vampire in the city and have guaranteed Simon safe passage back home but the Clave ends up imprisoning him instead. Valentine is still plotting to take over and has people working on the inside to take down the wards that protect the city from demons. A lot of fighting and some surprising loss.
Lots of back story is given in City of Glass and several new characters are introduced. It was quite exciting trying to figure out who can be trusted and who is not what they appear to be. Excellent book.
Quotes:
“She supposed they were imperfections, those marks, but they didn't feel that way to her; they were a history, cut into his body: the map of a life of endless war.”
and
“Is this the part where you say if I hurt her, you'll kill me?"
"No" Simon said, "If you hurt Clary she's quite capable of killing you herself. Possibly with a variety of weapons.”
