Discussion page for //City of Ashes// and //City of Glass// by Cassandra Clare (Can these series books stand alone?)

I've read the entire series and although very good each book in not a stand alone. In fact if I remember right, (I read them over the summer) each book leaves unresolved questions/issues that are not answered until the final book. Chris Nashua Public Library

I agree- great series, but each is VERY dependent on previous books. Neither is a stand-alone. Lucia Wiggin Memorial Library (Stratham)

My students and I loved this series-very popular- but they need to be read in order to make sense of the plot. Beth- Laconia High School

I agree with everyone. This is a great series for teens, but they hang together a s a series. Sally Nelson, Leach Library

I also agee. These are great stories. However, each book is just a continuation of the next and as suc they really ought to be considered as a unit which makes nominating just one for this award difficult. Mindy Flater Salisbury Free Library
