FlumeAward – City of Ashes and City of Glass 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.

I agree- great series, but each is VERY dependent on previous books. Neither is a stand-alone.

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.
