When Jace vanishes with Sebastian, Clary and the Shadowhunters struggle to piece together their shattered world and Clary infiltrates the group planning the world's destruction.
Re-read in 2021: Maybe it's the mood I was in when I re-read this or maybe it's the nostalgia for this series making me less critical of it then on my first read, but whatever the reason I did enjoy this a lot more on my second read. So I'm bumping up my rating to 4 stars.
This one was better than City of Fallen Angels but I still think the first 3 books are the best in the series. Clary and Jace's relationship isn't as clingy in this book which is a good thing (though that's probably because Jace wasn't completely himself in this book). There's more action in this one than there was in City of Fallen Angels and the action is the part I love the best. Overall I'd give it a 3.5 stars.

Simon, I've been trying to call you, bit it seems like your phone is turned off. I don't know where your are right now. I don't know if Clary's already told you what happened tonight. But I have to go to Magnus's and I'd really like you to be there.
I'm never scared, but I'm scared for Jace. I'm scared for my brother. I never ask you for anything, Simon, but I'm asking you now. Please come.
Isabelle.
(p 379)
Now this is the Law of the Jungle, as old and as true as the sky, And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
(p 388-389)
To mirror when she straightaway And did her ebon hair array And for her gown she much did pay. Then down she walked along the street, A handsome lad she chanced to meet, And sore by dawn were her dainty feet, But all the boys were gay.
(p 432)
Black for hunting through the night For death and sorrow, the color's white. Gold for a bride in her wedding gown, And red to call enchantment down."
