City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra ClareMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I liked this book the least of the series. Granted it's been a while since I read City of Glass, and I remember being completely gung ho on the series itself, but I apparently forgot a lot of what happened. Oh well. What I liked the least about this book was the undying, world altering, will conquer all love between Jace & Clary. Alright now, I get it, please stop teasing my gag reflex.
And seriously, the book was over 400 pgs. I think you could have knocked 10 off the 'final showdown'. It was getting a little long in the tooth.
I hope Clare can move beyond Jace's insecurities, it's getting to be a little bit of overkill and makes it hard to see him as the bad ass shadow hunter when he's constantly questioning himself. Considering how they left the end of this book the next one should be interesting, but it also appears that it will be dragging some bits of a tired storyline with it. Sometimes I think it's best to let sleeping dogs lie. Maybe I shouldn't have read this book right after reading The Hunger Games.
