I am not sure what to say! This book was a strain for me. I was just so aggravated through it! Okay I will admit that the strain was also an appeal, although it tormented me, it also kept me hooked but still!!!!!!! The characters just cant catch a break. NOTHING GOOD EVER HAPPENS and it is just terrible.

The storyline was well developed so where the characters but everything changed! And in my opinion not for the better.

JACE my favourite fictional charac ...more

This book kicks off with a whole new feel. Suddenly everything is more dark and dangerous than the world we knew before...Jace I was pleased to see still cocky and funny. Although it was no where near as much in this one. He gets all sad and brroding. After a while I missed the old Jace. The over confident one.. you c Of course this one will be awesomely superly wicked just like the last three!! AND>....... IT WAS!!!!!

This book kicks off with a whole new feel. Suddenly everything is more dark and dangerous than the world we knew before...Jace I was pleased to see still cocky and funny. Although it was no where near as much in this one. He gets all sad and brroding. After a while I missed the old Jace. The over confident one.. you can see cracks starting to appear in his tough guy armour. He is haunted by everything that has happened and we can see how much it is getting to him. Clary and Jace are quite happy for a short time, but it's not long before Jace's problem begins to tear them slowly apart. I really wish we had of seen more of them happy together but it was all very exciting anyway. Would it have killed Cassie to let us seem them happy for a quarter of the book though???. Jace starts pulling away from Clary and we all have no idea why, he is having strange dreams about hurting Clary and he begins to not trust himself around her. It was hard not to skip ahead through the book and find out what was wrong, I held myself back though and kept reading... A DEMON!!!!! is what is behind all the problems Jace is having. I was horrified when he was possessed and hurt Clary (I understand it wasn't him though!) I just felt really sorry for him knowing how much he will hate himself for it later.

I did tend to get a bit bored with Simon and his 'I cant pick between two girls' crap.. That got a little annoying but I enjoyed reading about him most of the time. I'm glad Maia (I think thats the spelling) is seeming to like her ex boyfriend better than Simon. I really liked Kyle/Jordan. He was interesting and I felt sorry for him about what happened with Maia. I can definately see them getting back together.

Drum roll......... Looks like Sebastion will be back after all. He hasn't actually come back yet but I can see him coming back to life. I like this idea, I thought his time was cut far too short in City of Glass. He was there one minute and gone the next and now he is back (Kinda) to cause trouble all over again. :) He was an interesting character who Im sure will shake things up.

DAMN CASSANDRA CLARE AND HER CLIFFHANGERS!!!!!!! WHY??? Why do this to us!! I am dying to know what happens next!

I feel that I can't judge this book against the others, at least not completely. This book took on a whole new feel, a whole new side of Jace, one weren't not used to seeing. Maybe thats why I missed the old funny, sarcastic Jace. I think I needed to realise that the Jace I love is still there as we saw in snippets of the book. We are just being shown a side that we all knew existed in him but we never got to see.

Thank you Cassie for making me love your books so much! (maybe too much) I LOVE LOVE LOVE your series, can't wait till the next one! You have once again outdone yourself and managed to create a world that leaves people wondering about it long after the book and having them feel like they have OCD for your series. I feel the need to re read them all of the time. :D:D ...more

THE REVIEW (WARNING: spoilers in places)

After reading this, I must admit this does have a differnt tone to the other books, this takes on something darker and...better...

idk, but it just does.

City of Fallen Angels is awesome, but it's either a love or hate book. You either adore the pants off it(no innudeoes intended...sort of) or you hate it.

I really like it, but I do admit I did ...more
