City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare
THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS series started out as a trilogy, and should have stayed there. This fifth book in the series has devolved into nothing more but one incident of teenage groping and/or angst after another.
City of Lost Souls is very disappointing.
[Editor’s note: Terry, a perfectionist, didn’t want to post this short opinion as a review, but we thought you’d want to know, so we posted it anyway.]
TERRY WEYNA, on our staff since December 2010, would rather be reading than doing almost anything else. She reads all day long as an insurance coverage attorney, and in all her spare time as a reviewer, critic and writer. Terry lives in Northern California with her husband, professor emeritus and writer Fred White, two rambunctious cats, and an enormous library.
