ceciliacb 's review for:
City of Heavenly Fire
by Cassandra Clare
Oh my gosh this was amazing! It definitely redeemed the series for me.
For the recent Cassandra Clare books that I've read, I've had a hard time with all the long chapters and stuff, but I didn't notice that with this one. (I read it in 2 or 3 days.) There was a lot more action in this one, and all the loose ends were coming together, so my attention was firmly focused on the book.
2 minor things that I had a problem with. 1) Brother Enoch was alive. I'm 99.9% sure that he died in Book 2 when the Silent Brothers were attacked, because that was where Brother Zachariah came in. So, Enoch got reincarnated or something, which was confusing. 2) That night before the final battle with Sebastian, where they all had their little romantic interludes. It just broke up the action a little for me, and it didn't seem like the correct response to a life or death situation.
I got a little sad at various parts. And some of the ships...let's not even talk about those because they were threatened and broken and reunited and oh gosh it was quite the ride. But I loved just about every second of it!
The ending was amazing! Prediction for the next series with Emma Carstairs:
I had to look up Shadowhunter family trees online because I was getting really confused about how people in the Infernal Devices were related to people in this series.
So, even if you struggled with some of the middle books of TMI, this one is totally worth it! Why I waited so long to pick it up, I don't know...well actually I do, it's because it was $25. Somehow I got it on my kindle for $3.25!!!! I rejoiced, obviously;)

Jordan's death actually wasn't that emotional, but the Simon thing definitely and Raphael I was actually sad over.The ending was amazing! Prediction for the next series with Emma Carstairs:

Faerie War. Just, Faerie War. It's perfect.I had to look up Shadowhunter family trees online because I was getting really confused about how people in the Infernal Devices were related to people in this series.

like how Emma could be related to Jem if Jem never had kids. His dad had a brother who Emma is descended from, in case anyone was wondering too.So, even if you struggled with some of the middle books of TMI, this one is totally worth it!
