City of Lost Souls is the fifth book in the Mortal Instruments series written by Cassandra Clare. This series is the first one written by the author of what is considered a bigger series called the Shadowhunter chronicles.
There has been two months since Clary left Jace on the roof, two months since he disappeared as well as Sebastian. The whole clave have been looking for him, however on the last reunion of the council they decided to stop looking for him, and to give priority to other things. From that moment on is Clary the one who keep looking for him helped by Isabelle, Simon, Alec and Magnus. However, is Jace who find Clary, but this version of him doesn’t feel like himself. Clary will have to choose between being with Jace even if that means risking his own, or risk Jace’s life by telling the Clave. On the other hand, Isabelle, Simon, Alec and Magnus will have to choose between doing the right thing, or going the dark path and find a solution for Jace’s problems.
City of Lost Souls was a terrific book, I couldn’t put it down. The beginning was kind of slow but when the action starts it moved super-fast and there were important things happening all the time. There were to lines of action each one happening at its own pace. On one hand we have Clary and Jace, the dark Jace. On the other, we have Magnus and company trying to help Jace from the distance. Both were super intriguing and nail-biting. And both came together perfectly in a surprising and exciting ending. The only thing I didn’t like about the book was when Maia and Jordan appeared, because it feels like an addition that didn’t have any reason to appear.
To sum up, City of Lost Souls was an amazing book. As soon as I finished it I wanted to start the next one, but I am reading Clockwork princess first. Definitely a recommendation.
