The City of Lost Souls - Cassandra Clare - Completed

I have completed this marvelous book with only an unquenchable thirst for more! This book seemed to go up a level (if that was possible). There was more death and war, more love and betrayal, more eery and spine tingling uncomfortableness and she left us with yet another cliff hanger that we must wait several months to learn the outcome of!
I do hope this next book is the last one of this phenomenal series. And I do hope they make movies out of the whole series. I have seen The City of Bones and I rather enjoyed it. Of course, most of the time, the book is better - no cut outs, more detail, more imagination and emotion is vital from the reader. With a movie, it's all out in front of you - whether you pictured a character, location or event differently or not, the movie portrays it the way they want and it forever disfigures, changes, ruins, or improves your perception of all these things and more. I know City of Glass is being made into a movie for this year which is pretty exciting.
Anywho, back to the book. It was fantastic. It never takes me too long to read books by Cassandra, she writes in such a way that just gets the reader so immensely involved in what she's writing that it feels like real-time almost, and you mustn't stop reading or time itself will hault.
Five out of five for this one.
Of course in all of her books, I find little petty annoyances, but which book doesn't have any of those? Honestly. So still 5/5. I won't allow small things damper the reputation of such an amazing series.
