City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare

My feelings remain pretty much the same, though slightly more apathetic this time around. I still really liked it though and I'm glad I read this series again, especially after reading The Infernal Devices, which I hadn't read the first go around. Some things made a lot more sense hah

Maybe now that I've finished this reread, I can finally read Lady Midnight lol


(Original review)

This conclusion was everything I had hoped for and more: an epic adventure, exploring new and old terrains, ending old storylines and introducing intriguing new ones, and the journey was just as important as the destination in this final installment.

All hope seems lost for our heroes, when the unthinkable happens--utter betrayal from a trusted ally. Lies from those who cannot lie. What are they to do when all that lays in Sebastian's wake is death and destruction?

The character deaths and death-fakeouts were emotionally charged and effective, but the deus es machina at the very end kind of killed it for me a little bit. Would have liked more death, frankly, and especially of a main character, not a character only introduced several books in.

El libro me atrapó desde el inicio. Tiene de todo: amor, amistad, peleas, secretos del pasado, una revolución. Realmente de los tres libros es el que más me ha gustado. Sufrí con la relación de Clary y Jace, fue ahora cuando se notaba más tensión en su relación; como ya dije en la reseña de "Ciudad de Ceniza" la forma en como mezclan a los licantropos, vampiros, hadas y cazadores de sombras le da un toque perfecto. Verlos unirse para la batalla fue un elemento que me hizo querer seguir leyendo. No quería terminar el libro, pero al mismo tiempo sí, saber en que concluía esta maravillosa historia. Si hubiese sido una trilogía, éste sería el final PERFECTO.

Estoy ansiosa por los siguientes libros... ¿Qué sucederá?

ya sé que es un libro que debe ser leído como una nueva trilogía, pero en serio la primera parte fue ABURRIDA, espero todo mejore con los dos siguientes libros

GAH. Blargh. Sigh... Loved this book. Loved the characters. Loved how the MI series tied into the Clockwork series. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! Distraught it's over. NEED the next series or start soon. Mercy me.... I feel drained... Like a long lost friend has just said farewell forever.

I love love love the Mortal Instruments! This final book contained the Clace and Malec quotes I love the most. It was perfect. THANK YOU CASSIE. I am already anticipating my next reread of this epic series.
