City of Fallen Angels - Cassandra Clare

It was brilliant, it was fantastic, it was amazing, I loved it!! What I love about Cassie's writing is she isn't afraid to make her characters suffer and in the process she leaves me feeling emotional vulnerable as I feel a connection to her characters. Her books always have a large cast of diverse characters all with their own issues and personalities, and they compliment each other. She adds something unique to each character, and they are all equally beloved and addicting to me.

City of Fallen Angels is full of pleasant, shocking twists; it was perfectly paced and the ending was perfect. It was a heart-stopping, emotional roller-coaster ride. On one page I could be laughing my butt off at snarky comments and the next page be crying my eyes out at a heart-wrenching scene. Cassandra Clare created the perfect mix of romance, action, anguish, humor, character growth and plot twists. So much happened and I was on the edge of my seat, wanting to see how Simon, Jace and Clary would get out of things. There is something about Cassandra Clare's writing that lures me into each of her books, engages me compeltely, then leaves me wanting more at the end. She has a talent for making her words come alive and making me feel like I'm a part of her world, a part of her characters.

I did miss seeing more of Clary and Jace. It was so strange getting such an in-depth look into Simon and following him the most. Obviously the books have always changed POV’s, jumping back and forth, but it’s always been fixed mostly on Clary, whereas this time it was more Simon than anything else. It was a nice change, and really worked for this book.

It's a lot of fun, very intense, and a great book!
