Reviewed by. Mocha Latte Two months after the events that took place in City of Glass we discover that someone is murdering Shadowhunters who previously allied themselves with Valentine and his circle, displaying their carcases around the city of New York.
Hostility begins to build between Shadowhunters and Downworlds and their ties begin to wither. As Jace and Clary try to figure out what exactly is going on they discover something that could bring them closer or tear them apart for good. Meanwhile, Simon's playing the part of "monkey-in-the-middle" with everyone who wants the "daylighter" on their side, though he wants nothing to do with them. In City of Fallen Angels, we find ourselves back in the world we fell in love with where the stakes are higher.
Reviewed by. ValerieThis book is just mostly for entertainment. But if you've already read the first two you already know this. When I finished I let out a sigh of gratitude. I finished! No more questions and no more wondering.
The characters are still there growing strong. Clary is still impetuous but she is also still very caring. Jace tries to go above a beyond to protect her but he also has to fight his own demons (get it "demons", well at least I'm trying). Lucian stays the same for the most part; you see him work hard to make things right.
Simon really evolves from his goofy persona to a more mature character but he is still a great funny character. Isabel and Alec seem to release more from their tightly compressed shadowhunter role. The mom finally comes up too and she is the one to answer all the questions. Valentine is still crazy.
Reviewed by. KarinCITY OF ASHES is the much anticipated sequel to last year’s City of Bones. Never have I been more excited to get a book in the mail. I have to admit, I was looking forward to CITY OF ASHES even more than when I was waiting for Harry Potter 7.
Re-entering the world of the Shadowhunters was thrilling. Clary and Jace are dealing with their father’s theft of the Angel’s Cup and are continuing to struggle with the fact that they are brother and sister.

Having already read the first book in the new prequel trilogy to this series, The Infernal Devices, I starting reading this book with some preconceived notions. Cassandra Clare blew them completely out of the water.
The world was familiar, the weapons, the battles and the environment. Humans, werewolves, vampires, warlocks, Shadow Hunters, down worlders and mundane all mixed up in events together. But being set in our time was an amazing new twist on something I was familiar with.
And yet something so new and unique I found myself picking up the book again and again when I should have been doing other things, and saying to myself just one more page, or till the end of this section or chapter but could literally not make myself put the book down.
