It didn't wow me, but it wasn't awful. I'll stick to the series until the end, but really Clare should have ended it with book three.

This was my least favorite of the Mortal Instruments series but it is still a good book.

⭐⭐⭐⭐/ 5 stars.
#cityoffallenangels sees our young heroes in the aftermath of the War on #alicante
The book centers around Clary and Jace's relationship, a wedding between two prominent characters and Simon's adjustment to his invincibility not only as a vampire who can walk in the day but a #daylighter who is the host to one of the oldest marks in biblical history.
We see three main characters appear in this book who play a large part in shaping the story for the final two books.
1️⃣Jordan; a werewolf who happens to be an impactful person from one of the main character's past.
2️⃣The mother of all demons; with her dedication to her son, her rather realistic values and- well she's crazy.
3️⃣Camille; a rather interesting character who had definitely peeked my interest not only because of her manipulation techniques but also how much she knows and has seen.
Relationships wise, #clace go through a rather insecure time period due to a decision made by Clary at the end of the previous book. We see a budding romance between Simon and Isabelle #sizzy which is absolutely adorable for Izzy is outgoing and charismatic and basically everything that Simon is not. And then we see my favourites #malec It's a bit of an up and down situation and the couple makes an appearance only mid book. And after a rather enlightening conversation with one of the new characters I have mentioned above, Alec struggles to accept the fact that some day Magnus will outlive him.
Now the 4 star rating was because I personally felt like it was a filler book with the only rather prominent incident happening in the final pages of the book. But hey, who am I kidding; that's my favourite type of ending.
