City of Lost Souls - Cassandra Clare

City of Lost Souls - Cassandra Clare 3.5/5 stars

I have to admit I don't have a very high expectation when it comes to books. As long as it engages me, it's a good book. And I don't even have a clue what engages me. The Hunger Games didn't engage me, oddly. But since this series has come to its fifth book, I wouldn't pick it up if I hadn't been engaged in this story, right? So I assume that if you have been following up Jace and Clary closely, you would want to pick this up.

Basically, Jace and Sebastian are now linked. You stab Jace, Sebastian bleeds, and vice versa. Jace and Sebastian have become best buddys too (Jace is kind of brainwashed), though Jace hasn't changed his love for Clary, and asks Clary to join them, to carry out whatever evil plan Sebastian has. Clary decides to go for it, and finds a way to sever Jace and Sebastian's bond.

I say the plot is not bad! It surprised me on a few occasions and I CAN'T BELIEVE what Clary did what she did at some point in the story. I actually gasped and cried "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD" when I read that. I wish I could tell you right now what she did but I don't want to spoil it for you.
Something else totally intrigued me. After I read the story I am DESPERATE to understand Sebestian more! I can't tell you how much I want to know more of him, though he's definitely a bastard. I want to know how he actually feels about Jace and Clary, even if the feelings are negative? Does he hate them? Like hate them and want to kill them? Jealous? Or what? 'Cause after reading this, I can't even tell!

I hope you guys enjoy it. And I can't wait to read The Clockwork Princess ;) And tell me what you think after you read it!

IN GR? ;D Actually, I really didn't get it. LOL! :D All I know was that we began discussing your theories. ;)

You didn't get it? Okay this is what happened. I got a message don't remember who sent it but that said that CP cover reveal is today, I checked the place and saw a cover with a whole in the middle, I waited an hour for it to be revealed. But then I had to watch a movie with my family, so I was a little angry for waiting so long for nothing, so I sent the link to BC and SHE had to wait another hour for it to be revealed  :D

She had to wait through " the dramatic clouds moving away, the replacing of dissolved pieces, the whole shebang - only to have the whole middle part of the cover missing"

BC - as in Buttercup?  :o

Why? You and lex are talking about something I don't have any idea  :(

Im following the posts now... did she wait "for the clouds to vanish" for 1 hour? is that "literal"? Im confused.  :(
Wrath to Butch: That's you. You shall be called the Black Dagger warrior Dhestroyer....
Rhage: But you'll always be Butch to us, as well as hard-ass. Smart-ass. Royal pain in the ass... I think as long as there's an ASS in there, it'll be accurate.
Zhadist: How about bASStard?

Yeah it's working now, but at the time I sent her this link the cover wasn't revealed yet so to be revealed people had to tweet Cassandra Clare 30,000 times. So every time someone tweeted someplace in the cover would be revealed and the time I sent this link to her the half part wasn't revealed yet so she had to wait.

OH now i know. Thats a great trick from Clare. LOL. Buttercup must be really frustrated when the happened. I can imagine her facing her monitor and waiting for the clouds to move away & disappear. Its pretty much hilarious. ROFL.
