Even though I truly belive she should have stop at the third book, this last one was amazing.
Everything was perfect, the plot, the charachters, and where it all ended.
I am sure I will miss them, they really grown on me - even the one I hated.
So five stars for this book, and a lot more for the entire series.

I loved this book! And I loved all teh characters! (And Simon, mostly, Simon, My Oh My)
I'm so sad we're done with this series.... We need more of them in TDA, we MUST HAVE MORE.
Ok, just that. Loved it.
Read it :)

I was trying to finish this series after reading the other five books. I just couldn’t do it, I was dreading reading it anymore and stopped at 22%
Loved this series a lot when I was younger but now it’s just not it.

This has got to be one of the least pleasant reading experiences I have ever had. I'm just going to say that I hated this book. I wanted to quit reading it but my hatred of the book would not let the book defeat me. I tried the audiobook so that I could entertain my self but that was even worse. The only thing worse than this story was Logan from Veronica Mars trying to read a book. It was almost hilarious. I don't even know if I am going to read the next serious because of this book. I literally skimmed every section with Emma because I needed this book to end and those bits did not connect to the already bloated story. How many characters needed their own POV chapters? Dear lord I'm still pissed about this book.
Okay, so I have said before that my favorite was Simon and will always be. So this book has taken me through the ringer of emotions. I know I should read through the next series, but I do not know if I want to. I swear if the Consul and Clave do not get a literal wakeup call and someone to make them an example, I would have a hard time reading. They are so willing to throw the future under the bus to save their own asses and honor nothing more than tradition. I want to scream. They call themselves brave but they let others do the dirty work and make decisions out of fear. I have to say that I like that the ending was not clean cut and wrapped up in a pretty bow. It was messy and real (as real as fantasy can be). This was the longest book yet and probably could be a bit longer. I am so glad that Jace has found his real self and is comfortable in his awareness. I have made my peace with Jocelyn in this book since I did not much care for her prior to this. I was surprised to find that I mourned characters and became angry with characters that I did not expect to. This last book really flipped things on its head for many of the characters. Last of all, I have to say that one big death in here was so beautiful, and as with everything else in this book, a bit unexpected. This last book was by far my favorite in the series. So sad it had to end.

This was a decent end to a great series - quite nostalgic for me now and definitely written for a young adult audience, but you know what? That was absolutely fine. I liked how Sebastian's story ended, I thought it was apt. I don't really get the Simon storyline end but that's OK too - this is fantasy; I am cool with suspending some disbelief at times (especially for a story written for YA readers!) Canny series, canny book, looking forward to reading further into the world again.
I have really mixed feelings about City Of Heavenly Fire. There were things I liked, but there were also things I didn't like.
I really love the world that we see in this series. I feel like there's so much we don't know about this world, and I like that we see how detailed this world really is.
I think I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I love the overall idea of the world, and it seems like the world is very well thought out. But at the same time, I've liked the series less and less as it went on. I've enjoyed the entire series but I also felt like the series could have ended with the third book.
I'm really struggling with what I think of City Of Heavenly Fire. I liked it, and I'm glad that things were (mostly) resolved. I wasn't particularly fond of what happened with a certain character, and while I like said character, I also found I didn't particularly care about what happened to them, or that things will seem to work out for them.
I found that Magnus is, by far, my favorite character. I'm not sure if he's getting his own series, but his story was infinitely more interesting, especially with what we learn in this book.
We meet a lot of new characters, and I actually liked that we saw chapters from many different characters. Like the previous books, there's a lot going on in this one, so it was nice to see a little bit of everything that was going on. At the same, there were so many characters that it was hard to keep track of some of them, particularly those who were introduced in this book. It was hard to be invested in them when I had some trouble keeping up with them.
Let's Rate It: I liked City Of Heavenly Fire- basically, I like the world Clare was imagined, but I didn't care about what happened to the characters. It is sad that I've lost interest as the series went on, because I really want to LOVE this series. It is a fun series, and very readable, but I think this series (FOR ME) has gone on a little too long. City Of Heavenly Fire gets 3 stars.
