My Thoughts:
Once again Cassandra Clare does an amazing job with her
writing as she re-enters this brilliant and riveting world which so many people
were excited for and could not wait to get more of!
I was so excited to read this once I had finished City of
Glass and what made me even more excited for this book was that it came out on
my birthday along with Red Glove by Holly Black and these are two of my
favourite authors and it was actually a really special birthday to me because
these books both released on my birthday.
With long books like these by Cassie Clare I find that they
are hard to get in to with the first hundred pages or so, but with each and
every book in this series I know it’s worth it to trudge through the beginning;
don’t get me wrong the beginnings are great and I take nothing away from them
but I think it is a mental thing in my head that I know I am getting myself
into another one of these long books and I have to remember all of the facts
and storylines from the previous books, but you know what; the books are all
really great and once I get to about page one-hundred I am addicted and love
these books to bits...so Cassie, please do keep the beginnings as you want them
and don’t change a thing about your writing because I am the one who is being difficult
but it always pays off in the end because Cassandra Clare is an awesome author.
After initially hearing things about this book and the new
characters I was so excited and the new character was great and it was really
great over all to visit these characters again with a few new twists her and
there.
With the previous books I did like Simon but he could annoy
the hell out of me sometimes and so could Jace and I would like to thank Cassie
for writing about characters that change overtime and we can clearly see the
change and how they evolve as people as the story goes on. Simon, to me in this
book was not annoying and I think it was the fact that this book was mainly his
and I do believe that this second cycle of books will feature Simon as a protagonist
along with Jace and Clary. Jace is the character that has really evolved for
me! He is more open in my mind and he is not such a jerk in this book but he
does have his moments.
This book overall was really good and I cannot wait to see
what happens in the next book, the ending to City of Fallen Angels has me
wanting more so badly. Great Book, I definitely recommend it to all of you who
have read Clockwork Angel because certain characters do appear in this book! So
exciting!
