 My put together reaction: 
 How do I even begin to describe this book...maybe I should start by saying that Cassandra Clare did not become my favorite author for no reason. Her books are not my favorite of all time because they don't make sense or are poorly written. No. Cassandra Clare is my favorite author because every single book that she writes never lets me down in terms of plot twists or quality of writing, and City of Lost Souls is no different. 
 This book is absolutely amazing and unbelievably well written. Cassie has this way of making her readers expect the worst out of every situation, leading that situation in that direction, and then twisting it back to a positive point at the last second through events that develop her characters expertly. Especially the last 150 pages of this novel blew me away and went by so quickly because I couldn't put down the book for ANYTHING. I had to know what was happening next and how everything was going to unfold. It just was absolutely brilliant. I loved it. i wish i could give it more than 5 stars. 
 My fangirling reaction: 
 EJFBLNWJVBOREQWG@VOerhbveqQWRBJVJLQEVBNQEBVJ CLARY AND JACE AND HEAVENLY FIRE IN HIS VEINS AND OHMYGOD 
 Simon is seriously the bravest person ever and so amazing and im so worried for him now that his mark of cain is gone D: 
 Sebastian better get killed by the end of this because even if someone makes him good SOMEHOW i will always hate him 
 MALEC OMG ITS OKAY YOULL BE BACK TOGETHER SOMEHOW I SWEAR because if clary and jace can make it through all this than alec and magnus DEFINITELY should be able to and i love them so much so them breaking up forever is not allowed because i say so 
 Just in case you though clary wasnt a bad ass before...i mean seriously she is my favorite heroine ever and has come SO far (when i see the movie ill probably be crying just because of how far she has come since she and simon first decided to go to the club that one fateful night so long ago) 
 isabelle and simon need to just talk it out already and be bf/gf because they are sooo adorable 
 MAUREEN YOU CRAZY FLEDGLING WHAT THE HELL (is camille seriously dead???) 
 ripped off angel wings cant be a good sign 
 STAR WARS REFERENCES FTW
