If you liked City of Bones then you're gonna LOVE City of Ashes!For me this book was even better than the first one, cause CoB kinda dragged alittle in the begining until it completely grabs your attention. But that is not the case at all for CoA. From the first chapter it is roller coaster ride that makes your heart race and keeps your interest through out the entire book.It will definetly leave you needind to read City of Glass RIGHT AWAY! =D
