City of Glass

In the third installment of this hip fantasy trilogy, Clary must use her untested abilities to battle her father, the demon Valentine; save her ancestral home; and help her dying mother. A group of Shadowhunters, vampires, werewolves, and fairies must come together to wage a final epic battle. Natalie Moore narrates with appropriate pacing and tone, allowing the listener to follow the story's various threads and easily visualize the settings. She reads clearly and with fluency, voicing the characters consistently. She also captures the emotional struggles of her characters such as the tense dialogue between Clary and her uncertain love interest (and possible brother), Jace. Moore's narration keeps the listener engaged with this modern fantasy. J.K.R. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
