I love this world. I really, truly love this world. Cassandra Clare really knows how to make her readers yearn to be in this world with these characters and never want to leave. I just want to make a Portal in my bedroom wall and go there. Of course, I would have to write a long letter to my family explaining my decision, but it would be worth it! Clare's imagination is fascinating, as I've gushed before, and her storytelling ability is amazing. I can never figure out what's going to happen next, but it's always surprising. This series is ever surprising and City of Fallen Angels is a great addition. 
 I'm not really going to waste much time going into the plot of this one, because if you're a fan of this series, you've already read it or are going to anyway, but I will say that this one definitely has a different feel to it. It's not something I can really explain. It's almost like a whole new series but with the same familiar world and characters, because the atmosphere has changed. I love this new feel. I love the direction Clare has taken and I'm very excited to find out what's going to come of all of this. 
 The action, mystery, and suspense are still here, but there's a lot more romance; romance between Alec and Magnus, romance between Isabelle/Simon/Maia, and, of course, romance between Jace and Clary. Now, is it possible to love this series without loving the romance that is Jace and Clary? Yes, it is. I, myself, am not really a Jace and Clary fan. I've talked about why before, so I'm not going to really go into it, but, basically, they just don't do anything for me. I'm not even really a Jace fan. OK, physically, he may be God's gift to all eyeballs, but I think Clary needs to slap him again...and again. I'm more interested and intrigued by their individual stories and struggles rather than them as a couple. I love this series for the world Clare has created, for the feelings I have when I'm in this world, and for the characters as a whole, especially Simon and Alec, NOT for Jace and Clary. Shocker, I know. 
 Alec missing for over half the book?! Big no no! Well, at least Simon is very much at the center of this one, which is a huge plus. 
 As for the ending...wow. It's not really a cliffhanger, but it will leave you thinking, "By the Angel!" OK, that was cheesy.
