More enjoyable than the preceding books but overly melodramatic,

This review is from: The Mortal Instruments 4: City of Fallen Angels (Paperback)
It's 6 weeks after CITY OF GLASS and Clary's training to be a Shadowhunter, she and Jace are finally going out and her mother is getting married to Luke. But then Jace begins pulling away from her and actively avoiding her. Confused and hurt she turns to her best friend Simon, but he has problems of his own. Camille, the true leader of the New York vampires has returned and wants to use Simon's mark of Cain to help her gain control back from Raphael, he's double-dating Isabelle and Maia and random people are trying to kill him.Soon Clary, Jace and Simon discover that Clary's actions in CITY OF GLASS have set in motion a horrific chain of events that threaten everything and everyone she loves. Cassandra Clare's follow-up to the successful MORTAL INSTRUMENTS TRILOGY ties together unresolved plot strands from CITY OF GLASS with elements from THE CLOCKWORK ANGEL (the first her Victorian era prequel trilogy). It's an ambitious book with a large cast and a lot to pack in, but the story (for the most part) cracks on at a fast pace and I liked the way Clare interwove elements from the other books (which you need to read to get the most out of this) but there were some clunky moments of exposition, which deadened the pace. My problem with the series has always been Jace, who I found too arrogant to care about. Here he's more vulnerable as he's forced to confront his feelings for Clary and his fear of losing her, although the device used to convey this is hackneyed and I never believed in his refusal to explain to her what's happening (or her refusal to press him on it, instead assuming the worst). Simon plays a bigger role in this book and while I could have done without the love triangle (mainly because the conclusion is telegraphed), his story does have the most potential and I really liked the addition of Camille who is an unknown quantity working to her own agenda. The last quarter feels a little rushed, with Clare packing too much in and some of the emotional scenes in the book veer towards soap opera and the cliffhanger will drive the fans mad. However, I enjoyed this more than I did the previous books as the story is more original and as such I'll be reading on.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Maybe not as good as the previous books, but very loveable!,
This review is from: The Mortal Instruments 4: City of Fallen Angels (Paperback)
The previous books had more substance, and this felt more like something added on to the end but the story still interested me and I will definitely be reading City of Lost Souls - love it!

1.0 out of 5 stars
Exceedingly dull and disjointed!,

This review is from: The Mortal Instruments 4: City of Fallen Angels (Paperback)
If it wasn't for the fact that this was the only thing I had to read on an 8 hour flight, I would never have finished it. I kept hoping for it to get better but alas, it didn't.The characters were annoying and the plot felt like an afterthought to the rest of the series. The first 3 books flowed well but this was just terrible. Clary and Jace's relationship/problems just showed how annoying each of them were and Simon's storyline was weak. So many times I found myself sighing and thinking, seriously is this it? I think it's time for Clare to work on another series because Clary and Jace have ran their course. I read the Clockwork Angel book first, loved that and have also loved the first three of the Mortal Instruments. This one wasn't as strong as the others. Also like some readers, I notice the similarities between Clary and Jace and Tessa and Will, here's to hoping that the The Infernal Devices series continues as strong as it began, unlike the Mortal Instruments and also that Tessa and Will don't go down the same course as Clary and Jace.
