pinkletaro 's review for:
City of Heavenly Fire
by Cassandra Clare
Now this is EXACTLY what I was looking for throughout this entire series.
I’m going to keep this as minimal as possible because, even though I want to do a deep dive into my feelings about every plot point and character, it feels almost impossible to gather every sentiment properly.
I took my sweet time reading this, absorbing every piece of information that this huge book had to offer. I loved how, right from the start, it was so fast-paced with so many POVs—so much was happening that there was never a moment to breathe. That intensity carried on until around the 60% mark, where things slowed down just a little, but I’m willing to overlook that because of how emotionally wrecked I was during the last 200 pages. I was BAWLING my weight in water until the very end—tears of sadness, happiness, and pure love for these characters I’ve grown to admire so deeply.
The introduction of new POVs was incredibly refreshing, and I cannot wait to follow their journeys, experiences, and stories in the next books. I also felt a lot more connected to Clary and Jace in this installment—both as individuals and as a couple—much more than I did in the rest of the series. And then there’s Isabelle and Simon… their slow burn really paid off in the end. Watching their relationship unfold was so heartwarming, yet heartbreaking at the same time.
And THEN… there are my babies. MY MALEC.
The emotional rollercoaster I went through while reading their POVs was beyond anything I expected. The yearning, the longing, the unspoken emotions, and the pride that kept getting in the way—everything about their journey felt so raw and real. And it was all worth it in the end, when all I could do was sob.
Simon. Oh, my sweet angel baby boy, Simon.
He, alongside Magnus, carried the second half of The Mortal Instruments. They will forever hold a very, very special place in my heart. The things Simon went through, the sacrifices he made, and everything he willingly gave up for all of them—Cassandra did him so dirty. But despite everything, I’m so glad that, in the end, he’s where he belongs. I can only wish him the absolute best moving forward. I love him to bits.
I couldn’t have asked for a better conclusion to this series. The love I have for the plot and these characters runs so deep. I love them as individuals, I love them as couples—I love them for who they are and what they stand for. They feel so real to me.
My true Roman Empire.
I’m very excited to move on to the second half of the Shadowhunters saga.
