Our view
“City of Lost Souls”, the fifth Mortal Instruments book, is at its best with its supporting cast. The secondary couples and their doubts get more room and more depth than before. Some readers feel the main plot mostly arranges the pieces for the finale, and the many romantic scenes are too much for some. It also has dark moments that some find disturbing. For those already attached to this world.
