For the first time can be seen on the cover 2 persons: Clary and Simon, and will remain for two successors City of Lost Souls and City of Heavenly Fire, according to Clare so.
The focus this time not only on the 16-year-old Clary Fray and Jace Lightwood / Herondale / Wayland / Morgenstern, but also her best friend Simon Lewis.
The book makes a small leap in time and starts about 6 to 7 weeks after City of Glass. The action is fast-paced, yet Clare begrudge their fans sometimes a few Verschnaufspausen that caused by romantic scenes or funny dialogue.
Properly is gaining momentum in the last chapters of the book and the last is the crowning glory. In typical fashion, Clare City of Fallen Angels ends with a cliffhanger, which triggers the urgent desire for City of Lost Souls.
Besides the already known characters from the first 3 books, a few new characters are introduced (who has read Clockwork Angel, is a recognized) that act sympathetic, but also raise some questions.
Clare knits her story further great and takes old storylines again that appeared unimportant in recent books, but now are all the more significant. It is obvious that she has made herself some thoughts, so there will be more books to the shadow hunters from New York.
This book is an absolute must have for fans who wish to City of Fallen Angels, to read the next book as soon as possible!
I myself have devoured the book within 12 hours and was very pleased. Clare lobs that one empathizes with their characters and the last chapter left me almost freeze the blood in their veins, so he was gripping. MORE OF THAT!
