The City of Fallen Angels was okay. Cassandra Clare is an excellent writer, but this story line was terrible. With Valentine dead there is no villain in the story; and the new villain is not revealed until the last 50 pages of the book. The story instead seemed to focus more on Clary and Jace's relationship problems than it did on an actual plot. There were so many things happening to the different characters at once that the central story line felt lost and irrelevant. The Mortal Instruments series could have been a fabulous trilogy; however Clare decided to keep the story going and it takes a whole book to get to the next phase of the story. So bear through an entire book of filler and hormonal teenagers before you find out what really happens next in the Mortal Instruments series. Therefore, the City of Fallen Angels receives 3 out of 5 stars.
In the fourth Mortal Instruments book, Clary has decided to begin training in order to become a shadowhunter. With the Mortal War over, and Valentine gone, shadowhunters and downworlders are finally at peace. But most importantly, Clary can finally call Jace her boyfriend. However nothing comes without a price. Someone is murdering shadowhunters and all the downworlders (warlocks, faeries, vampires, and werewolves) are being blamed. Now Clary must work with her friends to uncover who is responsible. But when Jace begins having internal struggles, he pushes away from Clary; arising even more questions about their intense relationship. And Simon is not much help in this situation either because while he bares the Mark of Cain, everyone wants his power. So can Clary keep it together and find out who's after her friends? Or will a force even greater than Valentine threaten to bring down the newly restored peace? Find out in the City of Fallen Angels.
