City of Lost Souls REVIEW


Om eerlijk te zeggen, toen ik aan dit boek begon en het hele verhaal begon met dat Jace ontvoert is door Sebastian en dat ze hen niet kunnen vinden. En dat Clary weer lekker roekeloos is door hun achterna te gaan had ik het eigenlijk best snel gehad met dit boek.
Maar! Ik vind dat Clary goed gehandeld heeft. Ze is misschien nog een klein beetje roekeloos, zeker ook met haar liefde voor Jace maar je ziet wel dat ze gegroeid is in vergelijking met City of Glass. Ik vond het verhaal beter dan ik had verwacht.

Ook vind ik hoe de relaties tussen Simon en Isabelle, Alec en Magnus en Maya en Jordan zich ontplooien, met alle gevolgen van dien erg goed. Er wordt een stuk minder gefocust op de pijnlijke liefde tussen Clary en Jace en dat vind ik persoonlijk erg prettig! De epiloog  vind ik beter dan ik had verwacht! Bij sommige boeken lees ik de epiloog niet eens, maar bij Cassandra Clare haar boeken moet je dat toch wel echt doen. Ik had dit zo niet aan zien komen, een gedeelte dan he ;) 


Ik heb in dit boek meerdere malen erg moeten lachen om verschillende quotes! Ook quotes die ik op Instagram tegenkwam ben ik tegengekomen in het boek.  

Hier zijn een paar Quotes die ik gevonden heb op Goodreads.

'I hope you told him you were bitten by a gay spider,' said Simon.(Vooral deze vind ik erg goed, love geeky Simon)

“Speaking of hope, did you see that shot Alec got off with his bow? That's my boyfriend.” 

“Jordan doesn't really care about the blood," Simon said now. "His whole thing is about me being comfortable with what I am. Get in touch with your inner vampire, blah, blah."
Clary slid in next to him onto the bed and hugged a pillow. "Is your inner vampire different from your...outer vampire?"
"Definitely. He wants me to wear midriff-baring shirts and a fedora. I'm fighting it."
Clary smiled faintly. "So your inner vampire is Magnus?”

Cruel Beauty & Crimson Bound – Rosamund Hodge

*These books are not translated to Dutch* Cruel Beauty – Rosamund Hodge    This is my first retelling of  fairytale. I wasn’t what to expect. I knew it would be darker than the tale we’re used to. As in the Disney Beauty and the Beast story. I liked it. The first sentence was for me the trigger to read it. “I was raised to marry a monster” In Arcadia the people live under the rules from the Demon Lord, The Gentle Lord. He strikes bargains. But with every bargain there is price you have to pay.  Nyx’s father strikes a deal with the Gentle Lord as his wife couldn’t bear children. He wanted to make her happy and having children would make her more happy than anything else. The price to pay is his daughter to marry him when she’s 17 years old.  Her sister Astria is the reason that her mother died at childbirth. Their father wants to keep her and loves her because she reminds her so much of his beloved wife. Nyx hates her. She doesn’t want to be...

Spindle Fire by Lexa Hillyer

This is not just a retelling about Aurora, but also about another girl, never been told. About her sister Isabelle. These two sisters are very different, but grew up together in the castle. And while Malfleur is getting stronger, the kingdoms are divided. And the girls get separated. This story is different from what I expected, I thought it would be more excitement. But although I was disappointed, it did read like a fairytale. It had a slow pace and that suit the story, the story about Sleeping Beauty. Because the writing wasn’t that fast paced I took my time reading, I even went three days without reading because I didn’t was drawn to it that much. I wish the story would have contained more excitement, more mystery and maybe folklore? I love Folklore and especially in fairytale books! This is definitely a fairytale retelling that reads like a real fairytale, like Hunted by Meagon Spooner. Next year Hillyer will bring out another book “Winter Glass” I think that this will ...

The Queen of the Tearling Series by Erika Johansen

When Kelsea Glynn is 19 years old, a group of men appear at her doorstep and take her to the Keep. There is her castle, because Kelsea isn't just some 19 year old girl. She is the Queen of the Tearling. With every book in this series I needed some time to get into the story, because the chapters are very large and it sometimes switches between POV's. Which is totally fine, but it sometimes distracted me too much. I really like this world building, I had some difficult with understanding when the story takes place (future) but after a while I got it and that made the books better. Although I did not like every aspect of Kelsea, Johansen is such a great writer. I liked how Johansen wrote the mysteries and made it all come together. I often was blown away by the revelation of some aspects of the stories! Kelsea is a strong young woman with a strong mind, but sometimes she does not think her actions through...and that has consequences. I also have a big dislike about her attit...
