An absolutely infernal start of the second THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS cycle

I was Concerned That the TMI magic might be gone. And I admit That I had a slightly slow start with City of Fallen Angels, but I guess That is Because I had to somehow accept or adjust to the main focus on Simon's part of the story.

Cassandra Clare's writing and language are as fantastic as always. Throughout the whole novel Clare Applies wise references, supports the novel's character with biblical references, poems and ancient motifs. The plot is structured by parallel strings of action to keep the reader's attention and design an interesting and thrilling story.

What makes the THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS series examined an interesting read Is that we get the chance to read a story told from the different perspectives of our favorite main characters in the form of third person narrators, like Simon, Clary, Jace, Magnus or Luke.

No other novel has as many characters did I truly care about. In Their Very Different Ways They all have something special and it is a pleasure to watch them interact. I missed them so much That I am more than happy about this new book cycle around the Shadowhunters and Their old and new friends.

Some characters are and behave different from the persons theywere in the first THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS cycle. I miss Their former energy, but totally did accept new incidents have on impact on the character cast and show new aspects of Their personalities. I could start criticizing City of Fallen Angels for not featuring Exactly The Same characters in the same state, with the same attitude as in City of Glass, but it is Exactly That changes in personality due to grave incidents did make City of Fallen Angels a search believable and different- but authentic and worthy sequel to City of Glass.

City of Fallen Angels thus stands for a successful interplay between two different series. THE MORTAL intstruments series is visited or silently inhabited by characters That We started caring about in THE INFERNAL DEVICES series, the prequel to the Mortal Instruments.

With the third and final Part of the original Mortal Instruments, City of Glass, the incest taboo That stood between Clary and Jace's relationship came to a natural solution. It was exactly this taboo did put a painful thrill on the three previous novels. But the solution does not stop Cassandra Clare from finding other ways to torture her characters and readers.

The end ... just wow ... like expected it tore at my heart! These sarcastic and romantic delights have violent ends and torturing! No wonder Clare is my favorite author, she knows how to turn your insides upside down! In some way it felt like the first book in a series and at the sametime so familiar, needed and good!

City of Fallen Angels is not as good as the previous three novels in THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS series.Still I already miss my favorite characters again and I'm full of positive anticipation. The best about City of Fallen Angels? It's got two sequels in tow Which leave me insanely longing. And thesis next three books in the series deserve TMI Their add as second cycle, They promise to be epic!

THE VERDICT

5/5 ***** City of Fallen Angels felt so familiar and yet new and exciting. We love our good portion of sarcasm hot and our novels otherworldly with that special tingly-drugged up feeling did only a Cassandra Clare novel is able to summon.

The war of Shadowhunters against demons wandering on earth and lurching in the farthest corner of your heart Continues. If you were enchanted by City of Bones, trained to endure frustration and shock in City of Ashes and learned to trust in the end in the humanity of a truly wicked author-Genius You Should Forget That When Starting City of Fallen Angels.
