I am still riding the roller coaster that is the Mortal Instruments. The ride has now slowed down to a halt. An ending like no other yet full of climax after climax and a whirlwind of emotions. I am left so emotionally charged that I do not know how I can pick up another book today. I need to let this sink in and absorb. Clary has been on such a ride. Since witnessing that murder back at Pandemonium to finding her mother missing, to the lover triangle, to family secrets revealed. In "City of Glass" her life comes full circle--well, everyone's lives do. Clary learns her true power and learns who she truly is at the end, much to our satisfaction. We learn that despite your upbringing you can still rise above it all and Jace proves that to us. He is one of the most complex characters in the book, fighting not only himself, but his inclinations and even his own family. He overcomes in great triumph and at the end you are touched by his expression of love and gratitude. The book is filled with so much emotion and passion I was left in awe and entranced by each and every word on the pages of this book. The characters have me rooting for them, and there's a lot to root for, trust me. The action--wow! I must say that I was on the edge of my seat plenty of times, gripped reading about the fighting and battles, whether physical or emotional. I'm not sure how to write about this book,really, since so much happens yet I cannot spoil anything. But rest assured that you will be sighing and crying, laughing and screaming. People die and people live. Love and loss. But most importantly "City of Glass" is a phenomenal ending to a world and characters we will dearly miss. QUOTES: "...there was an electric anger in his gaze, and a sort of challenge that made Simon long to hit him with something heavy. Like a pickup truck." (Oh funny Simon!) AND "People aren't born good or bad. Maybe they're born with tendencies either way, but its the way you live your life that matters." (sums up the story pretty well) I give this book a 100/100 A++++ Characters- 20 Plot- 20 Writing- 120 Originality- 20 Re-Readability- 20 How can this book get any less than a perfect score?

There are two extremes in the interpretation of Anna Karenina's character, which I am aware of ;-).... 1) The one, which I was taught in my Leningrad's (USSR) school (it was an eclectic mix of the moderate feminism, covered by the fig leave of the socialistic moral) - Anna Karenina is considered there to be a victim of the pre-revolutionary male driven Russian Society, where all women, irregardless of their social status, were deprived of choice in all aspects of their life. However we were taught that: "A woman should never be unfaithful to her husband, even if she doesn't love him". 2) Anna Karenina by its nature is an uncontrollable slut, who's behavior is entirely driven by lust and insatiable sensuality. Anna Karenina is often compared with Emma Bovary and Lady Brett Ashley.
