Many emotional moments and puns, Jace and Magnus can shine

Attention here in is the review for the 5th volume of the series, spoilers are entirely conceivable !!!

The story starts a little after the events of the last book. After both Sebastian and Jace have disappeared, the Shadow Hunter is on high alert. When, however, after a long search no major performance has been strong, the Council shall determine the priority, above all what the find of Jace concerns, rapidly downward. The wants and Clary can not accept and starts searching with the help of her friends, on your own by Jace and her hated brother. But after a short time they have to say, seems to have that connection between Jace and Sebastian changed drastically kind and she is about to lose the love of her life forever.

I must confess that I had massive problems per se with the course of action. Because this really takes place in the incredible length. It comes to eternal planning meetings, as you can now separate the resulting Verbinnung between Jace and Sebastian again. But an actual action does not exist actually. The second focus of this novel seems more likely to be on the individual relationships of the participants. So actually incurred in the course of each of the books love relationship is discussed and analyzed. So it is even in the few faster-paced scenes to very inappropriate conversations about the current relationship status. I had the feeling that there generally is more about the interpersonal connections further expand in this novel, as to realize a development with regard to the background story. Even the great final battle, where there was an increase in voltage for more than 50 pages, was ultimately not too future-referring and it can be assumed that the complete enmity between Sebastian and the Shadow Hunter will discharge until the last band.

The reason why I did not just peppered the novel still in the corner, but were at least partially right emotional and so well designed exciting relationship curves of the protagonists. Especially the fact that the events were told from verschiednen perspectives, allowed the reader a deep insight into precisely the issue of this. Grade the scenes between Alec and Magnus I found very entertaining and interesting. In the previous books you learn just not a lot about everyday life and tone of their relationship. Nor was hitherto busy with the problems of Magnus immortality. An action level, but which now gets heavily into view.
Was also staged toll the relationship between Simon and Isabel, above all by the fact that their characters are so completely different, creates a nice dynamic in their conversations and resulting actions.

As for the figures per se could Magnus beside Jace, this time very shine. He has a way to make things go ran like no other. It is particularly fascinating to watch how different he really behaves in verschiednen companies. So he lets his always something wacky and humorous way actually fall only in being with Alec, where he works a lot quieter and more vulnerable. Nice was also the built Runnig gimmick that Magnus Simon seems basically never talk to its correct name.

Jace was, of course, with its eternal sarcastic sayings and puns managed to have again for a lot of laughs. But also in the overall package could convince his role again. Because his character is changing now even very now that he has such a special connection to Sebastian. This was implemented by the author and convince was sad and frighten equal.

How could he be Jace Jace to the emergency, all at once? How could you be heartbroken and happy at the same time? P.221 Clary

One of the reasons why I prefer reading books by Cassandra Clare in English, which is their brilliant writing style just comes to better advantage. She has a great talent for breathing with atmospheric descriptions of the books even more lives. Added to this are the perfectly staged dialogues, which will one presented with an incredible eloquence. This is a novel of the writer is obviously not written English in the simplest, but the rates are far too complex, but who dares to English books in a more elevated level of difficulty, should engage in any case to the original editions.

Conclusion:
The novel has many emotional moments, but also many situation joke. With an exciting storyline he can not score, however. One should understand this part of the book series rather than a kind of preparation novel in regard to the grand finale.
