City of Fallen Angels is the fourth book in the bestselling series The Mortal Instruments. “City of Fallen Angels takes place two months after the events of City of Glass. In it, a mysterious someone’s killing the Shadowhunters who used to be in Valentine’s Circle and displaying their bodies around New York City in a manner designed to provoke hostility between Downworlders and Shadowhunters, leaving tensions running high in the city and disrupting Clary’s plan to lead as normal a life as she can — training to be a Shadowhunter, and pursuing her relationship with Jace. As Jace and Clary delve into the issue of the murdered Shadowhunters, they discover a mystery that has deeply personal consequences for them — consequences that may strengthen their relationship, or rip it apart forever. Meanwhile, internecine warfare among vampires is tearing the Downworld community apart, and only Simon — the Daylighter who everyone wants on their side — can decide the outcome; too bad he wants nothing to do with Downworld politics. Love, blood, betrayal and revenge: the stakes are higher than ever in City of Fallen Angels.”

I don’t really have much to say. It was such a big disappointment… OF COURSE NOT!
Honestly, if someone had asked me what I thought of this book seconds after I was done, I think the only thing I could have said is: “OMG! OMFG! OMG !@#$#@#%! #$@#%$#!” That’s how flabbergasted it left me. (I love that word!) I can’t believe Cassandra Clare wrote that. Does she want to kill her devoted readers? I was about to die from too much excitement. Cassandra Clare, you’re the queen!
I don’t want to say too much about it, because I would hate to spoil it for anyone. All I want to say to those who haven’t read it yet is BE PREPARED! It’s a hell of an emotional rollercoaster! And what an ending! How are we supposed to wait until book 5! That’s cruel! I’ll only think about that during the next month. Honestly, if I fail my classes this semester, the blame is on you, Cassandra Clare!
About the characters, I have one main thing to say…. (fangirl on)OMG I ADORE MAGNUS! ALEC+MAGNUS4EVER! (Fangirl off) I can’t believe how amazing they were in this book. I just fell completely head over heel for them. Of course, the Jace and Clary storyline is always good, but Magnus and Alec are really the one that marked me this time. Still, (fangirl on) I completely adore Jace. Still, you need to stop playing the martyr sometime. You’re too hot for that! (fangirl off.)
Cassandra Clare, you’re now my queen, my goddess… Tell me what I need to do, and I’ll do it. All I want in exchange is your marvelous books. Honestly, I wish I had half her talent. She’s really the queen of the cliffhanger. The last thing I have to say is…. YOU’RE MEAN CASSANDRA CLARE! HOW CAN YOU LEAVE YOUR FANS BEGGING FOR MORE LIKE THAT! Grrr…
Okay, do I really need to give it a rating? I think it’s pretty clear; it deserves 6/5! (Which means: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! YOU SHOULD BE READING IT NOW! FORGET ABOUT SCHOOL AND WORK! READ IT NOW!)
As you can see, this book fried my last neurons. I should be back to normal soon!
I'm starting this tonight! Stupid Barnes & Noble had some delay with shipping their edition (with the Jace/Clary letter) so I'm buying it for my Kindle, too lol. I'd planned on doing that later on, preferably when the price dropped a little. Oh well.. I can't wait any longer!! =)
ReplyDeleteLucky you, you have the letter. I wish I could have that edition, but it was only B&N. Only a couple of Chapters in Canada had it, and I couldn't pre-order it online. I heard so many great comments about the letter.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Glad you enjoyed it so much. :-) I've still got to read the City of Ashes and City of Glass books.
ReplyDeleteRYN: I don't like Kristen Stewart either. But she did phenomenal in Speak.
Glad you enjoyed it! I love a good gushy review-I often write them myself
ReplyDeleteAaaah!!! I really want to read it so badly! oh man oh man, I can just sense its awesomeness from miles away! Awesome review!!
ReplyDeleteGah, I STILL don't have a copy! I'm dying to read it, everyone is going on about the shocking ending! Glad you liked it, you've made me want to read it even more! Great review :).
ReplyDeletelove the review. i ordered it a while back but it wont be here til next week. but luckily i got the B&N version, so i will get the letter. that should make up for the reading delay.
ReplyDeleteWow! I think if I wasn't already planning to read COFA your blog post would have made me do it FAST! lovely blog post you now have a new follower
