A review by msrichardsreads89
City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare
5.0
Page Count: 424
Genre: YA Fiction, Fantasy
Series: The Mortal Instruments #4
That ending! Once again, Cassandra Clare destroyed me.
The Good:
Characters. I enjoyed watching the characters' relationships with each other grow. I also enjoyed reading more of Simon's story, which made me like him even more.
I really enjoyed reading about the cult in this book. Religions have always fascinated me, and even though this contained a fictional cult, there were religious references in here. It took me back to my English classes!
The ties to the Infernal Devices series. While you don't have to read the books before this, there are a few references that you probably won't get if you haven't read them. (Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, and Clockwork Princess).
There are some excellent plot twists in this book.
The Not-So-Good:
The story line did get a little weird for me at times, but overall it was really good.
Without giving away spoilers, I'll just say that Jace and Clary's relationship gets very frustrating in this book. I was irritated with Jace through most of this book until I realized why he is behaving in a certain way.
The book started a little slow for me. There wasn't much action until after the first 100 pages.
The plot fell a little short compared to the epic ending in City of Glass. I realize that I need to look at this as a separate trilogy. I think it will help my expectations.
Content Warning: Minor violence, cult references, demon worship, minor sensual scenes, blood/gore in places
