City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare
Apr. 30th, 2011 03:46 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Clary is back in New York and life is good: she’s training to be a Shadowhunter and is finally able to call Jace her boyfriend. But nothing comes without a price. When Jace inexplicably begins to pull away from her, Clary is forced to acknowledge that she herself has set in motion a chain of events that could lead to the loss of everything she loves. Even Jace.
Love. Blood. Betrayal. Revenge.
The stakes are higher than ever ...
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
I wasn’t a particular fan of THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS TRILOGY or THE CLOCKWORK ANGEL, but found this a more entertaining read. It’s the start of a new follow-on trilogy that brings in plot strands from the previous books and at times it’s too busy and the emotions sometime border too much on soap opera, but there’s more originality in the plot and I didn’t dislike the central character of Jace as much as I have done previously. As such, I’m interested in seeing where Clare takes it.
