The City Of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments book 2)

       In the book the City of Ashes By Cassandra Claire there are almost no scenes without action or suspense. This is so because being the sequel of City Of Bones this book takes place just after the main characters (Clary and Jace) father escaped from them threw a portal has now shown up and killed the silent brothers who are kind of like the monks of the shadow world. Their father valentine is a shadow hunter who has gone rogue and wants to destroy all of the shadow world so it may be pure for humans (so nice!). This may seem all great and everything but he is also a very good liar and trcked his own son into think he had a completely different identity so he grew up thiking this and the when he was reunited with his father BAM "surprise your my son". Now even though Clary and Jace oppose their evil father he can make them think his cause is just. and while this is all happening Clary's mother is in the hospital recovering from valentine bewitching her.

i know this is my second city of bones post! its along book ok!

    yes this is mt second city of bones post. it is a very long book 438 pages. within the 38 pages there is a subplot. this subplot consists of how clarissa a shadow hunter that has no idea how to wield weapons, has a deep longing for her comrade who is arrogant and is not very self aware but a very skilled shadow hunter, jace. within this deep and profound longing there is love for each other which consists of anger  bewilderment and jealousy.

     as soon as you get to get the jist of the book you think they are almost guaranteed gonna have one of those happily ever after boyfriend and girlfriend thing, no that would ruin the whole entire book. instead the author has it so it is more hidden and they are unaware but as the book goes on it gets more obvious. when they finally realize they have fallen for each (which almost made me stop reading the book) it is on clarissa's birthday how perfect. they kiss and then suddenly the antagonist never seen throughout the whole book shows up captures jace and leaves clarissa trapped.

        when clarissa finally gets her act together she goes to her mothers best friends house and gets him to launch an attack on valentine the evil guy. so when she finally gets there jace is actually valentines son. and it turns out that she is too and they are brother and sister *gasp*. perfect love ruined shyes.

The City Of Bones

       In the book The City Of Bones by Cassandra Clare, the character hodge is the mentor of three extrodinarilly talented shadow hunters(people who are half human and half angel dedicated to protectin humanity against demons evil super natural beings such as faeries, warlocks, and vampires, and werewolves). Hodge is a character that has deep thought and is the wise old hermit of the story but at the same time has something else going on. The reason he is so hermity if thats a word, is because he is cursed to stay in one place for his entire being. this curse is cast upon him by the clave (a magical society in which is like our supreme court but made up of super natural beings). This curse was descended on him because he was once part of a circle of evil shadow hunters that were devoted to killing all down worlders involving demons, faeries, forsaken, warlocks, vampires, and werewolves.This is terrible because the shadow hunters are suppoed to be living in harmony with the down worlders so they do not completely destroy each others species.

      The way the down worlders and the shadow hunters keep this truce going is at the accords which takes place every ten years. The problem with this is that the evil circle of shadow hunters thought that they rose higher than any other species so at an accords they sought to destroy all down worlders while they were at the accords but were finally defeated. The clave thought they had taken down the leader of the group valentinewhile in actuallity he was still alive just made evryone believe he was. The master of the three young shadow hunters was part of the evil circle but claimed when he joined he was just friends with valentine and was innocent and unfairly punished even though all three of the young shadow hunters parents were also in the circle but wnted out.

                                                           *SPOILER ALERT*

       The mentor hodge in actuallity after this was still valentines right hand man after pretending to be still good. Hodge betrays the three young shadow hunters by after they find and rescue a powerful instruement that can be used to valentines advantage takes it from them while one is dying and one is watching over the dying one and nokes unconcious the third. Hodge is also a week coward because he does all of this to get his curse lifted and lets valentine take the unconcious shadow hunter even though he opposes it but lets him do it anyway because he's scared.
