FAVORITE QUOTE: "and now I'm looking at you and you're asking me if I still want you, as if I could stop loving you. As if I want to give up the thing that makes me stronger than anything else ever has. I've never dared give myself to anyone before - bits of myself to the Lightwoods, to Isabelle and Alec, but it took years to do it - but, Clary, since the first time I saw you, I have belong to you completely. I still do. If you want me." ~JH

FINAL WORDS: City of Glass is the third installment in the mortal instruments series and is by far the most powerful. It represented love in all it's forms; sacrifice, pain, tragedy, betrayal, and courage. While reading this book I felt my heart crack into pieces and was flabbergasted several times. City of Glass was a whirlwind of an adventure and I need to mentally prepare myself for what is to come in the rest in the series.

WHAT I LEARNED: In real life the bad guy is easy to point out. He is sweet, attractive, and charming. The bad guy is Prince Charming. You should never trust a pretty face they will always deceive you.
