City of Ashes picks up days after City of Bones ends and tells the story of Clary Fray, her best friend Simon, surrogate father Luke, and Shadowhunter friends Alex, Isabel and Jace as they battle demons and other forces of evil in the city. It's a thrilling ride,

Hey! Sorry I've taken a bit to respond...been on vacation and all.

I'm so glad that you enjoyed this book as well. It's hard for me to comment on this without giving much away. the angst is so well written though that you can't help with want too read on just to find out what's going to happen. I totally agree about how nice it was that Simon didn't turn into an evil creature just by becoming a vampire. I thinhk I read something about Cassandra Clare possibly making a sequel to the series about Simon. I also found that with each book the author's writing got better and better. I suppose with more experience?

Yay! Can't wait for you to finish the series so we can really discuss everything. We never did have our HG chat though did we? I ended up reading the first chapter of Catching Fire though. Wow!

So I actually finished City of Glass over the weekend - but it didn't have nearly the emotional impact that I thought it would. I was pretty tired and distracted when I was reading it though, so I'm thinking about re-reading it in a couple of days. Will be prepped to discuss it then.
