A review by yodamom
City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare
5.0
Wow what a wonderful read. I feared that the story would be not as involving as the first three, it was supposed to be the end of the series. C.C. wrote a perfect extension of the story picking up right where City of Glass left off. She has a great talent, dragging us into her world and holding us there, happily.
Somebody is killing Shadowhunters, ones that were associated with Valentine's circle, and they are dumping the bodies in "others" areas all over NY. Clary and Jace are still working on their relationship. Her mother and Luke are getting married. Simon is dating/juggling two girls at the same time. An an ancient nasty come to town bringing a horrifying chaos besides the dead Shadowhunters. There are new characters and some old ones that step up into the story.
One of my favorites is Isabelle Lightwood. (Fashion model, meets Buffy) She’s beautiful, strong, smart, and deadly while dressed in the best of fashion. She is independent and self respecting. I love her snarky attitude, she just throws it out there.
Simon, poor Simon, is there anything that can go right for him ? He is beaten down at every turn of the page. His new vamp status has him a previous vegetarian hungering for blood. His love life is even a mess. He has two hot girls, that don't know about each other. His Mark of Cain a new adventure for the vamp. Oh, and it just keeps getting harder for him.
A new 'hero" character inters, Jordan Kyle, he has a dark secret that he tries to recover from. He is there to protect Simon and ends up befriending him and Jace.
Awesome book, get the tissues out.
Warning: Huge cliffhanger ending.
