The Mortal War is over, and sixteen-year-old Clary Fray is back home in New York, excited about all the possibilities before her. She's training to become a Shadowhunter and to use her unique power. Her mother is getting married to the love of her life. Downworlders and Shadowhunters are at peace at last. And—most importantly of all—she can finally call Jace her boyfriend. But nothing comes without a price. Someone is murdering Shadowhunters, provoking tensions between Downworlders and Shadowhunters that could lead to a second, bloody war. Clary's best friend, Simon, can't help her. His mother just found out that he's a vampire and now he's homeless. Everywhere he turns, someone wants him on their side—along with the power of the curse that's wrecking his life. And they're willing to do anything to get what they want. Not to mention that he's dating two beautiful, dangerous girls—neither of whom knows about the other one. When Jace begins to pull away from her without explaining why, Clary is forced to delve into the heart of a mystery whose solution reveals her worst nightmare: she herself has set in motion a terrible chain of events that could lead to her losing everything she loves. Even Jace. Love. Blood. Betrayal. Revenge. The stakes are higher than ever in City of Fallen Angels.
My Thoughts
This is one ah-mazing book! It is another awesome addition to The Mortal Instruments series. It was everything I was hoping for and so much more. I loved how everything ended off in City of Glass and what can I say? I was not disappointed. The stakes are definitely raised compared to the other books.
It was great getting back into the world of the shadowhunters and getting to see all our favourite characters. Especially Simon. I never really gave much thought to him but he’s mentioned quite more and I ended becoming very attached to him seeing as Jace was kinda really off in this book.
Jace was really frustrating! I love him but I so did not not like how he kept blowing off Clary. But then you find out he has some serious issues. Poor Jace. I must say though, there were quite a few moments of romance between. Hot Kissing. Seriously. Not that I’m complaining.
Clare has written City of Fallen Angels to perfection! She has me adoring this series and obviously, loving this book too. However, I have to say how much I hate that we need to wait ages to read the next one! It doesn't help either that there’s a killer cliffhanger! City of Lost Souls, I NEED YOU!

"Poor Jace" basically sums up exactly what I was thinking throughout the whole book! :P Glad you enjoyed this one - I'm desperate for City of Lost Souls too! Happy reading :).
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh!! I'm reading this book right now, like I just put it down for a few moments (will no doubt be going back soon, I imagine I will right after I write this comment). I'm right at the end. And this one is my favorite so far! I can't believe how amazingly good it is. This is what I like to call "delicious reading".
ReplyDeleteAwesome review. This is definitely a book I could not put down either.
ReplyDeleteI sooo need to start reading this series. My friend raves about these books, and I've heard a lot of people say that Jace is one of their favorite characters. And I love your review. It makes me super excited and eager to get a hold of the books in this series.
ReplyDeleteI just finished this book last night. I loved it. Simon was sooooo great in this book! The story is sooooo juicy! Especially the ending omg!!! Love Cassandra Clare :D
ReplyDeleteI just bought City of Bones...long way for me to go but I am very excited about it. Hope I like it as much as you did!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I now have 2 of 3 peoples good opinions towards this book, and its waiting on my shelf to read... but I might just put this off for another couple months so I don't have to wait as long for CoLS!
ReplyDeleteI definitely became more attached to simon in this book! Great review, glad you enjoyed this =]
ReplyDeleteEeep I still haven't read this series!
ReplyDeleteMust start!!!
I've got to read this book! But I promised myself I won't till the release of City of Lost Souls. My will is crumbling!
ReplyDeleteI thought it would be a good idea to buy this book at Costco for ten bucks, but now I don't have the Barnes and Noble letter:/

I absolutely adore this cover. The girl's hair blowing around all framed with gold is really magical. I really REALLy have to bump this series up on my TBR list...so many books so little time!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this series. I actually have this one on my shelf, waiting for me to read it, but I havent been able to get to it yet :( Glad to see you enjoyed it though! Now I'm anxious to start reading it :P
ReplyDeleteThis series is amazing I read the first three book and I looking forward for this one
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed this book too-it was definitely a great read!
ReplyDeleteCrazy Jace is a super hot Jace! Can't wait for COLS!
ReplyDeleteGeeez, I wanna read this book right now! So looking forward to read it. Love this series.
ReplyDeleteI love this book! And I know! I can't believe we have to wait so long for the next book, especially with that cliffhanger! I always love Jace. And it's so awesome to see glimpses of Magnus and Alec!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to decide which is better --seeing as Clare's now moved on almost to a completely different story line-- which is better. I can safely say those who are fans of Jace and Clary will not be dissapointed. The romance gets a TON better. I think the story in the first 3 was solid, and this feels a bit like a "third" wheel. Although, I think it fit in the best it could. I'm just hoping the last two books (which names have been released: City of Lost Souls and City of Heavenly Fire) will result in tying them all together so it feels more like one story.
ReplyDeletei seriously agree with NEEDING CoLS...
ReplyDeleteit was the worst cliffhanger ever.,,
