 The fourth book in Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments series was just as great as the last three books. Cassie is an amazing writer; I love how she's able to write these delicate, lovely and tender scenes with Jace and Clary or any of her other pairings and a few pages later she's writing about a cruel fight, about blood, violence, darkness and death. She's really talented and one of my favorite authors for sure. City of Fallen Angels was exciting, romantic and touching -- reading a book written by Cassandra Clare sometimes feels like an emotional roller coaster. I adore her characters so much. Clary, Jace, Simon, Isabelle, Alec, Magnus... And now Maia, belonging to the group more than ever before, and Jordan, too. I feel attached to them, I suffer with them when they feel sad, I am happy for them when they are. Cassandra did not just open the way for a lot of new storylines in the following two books of The Mortal Instruments series, she also continued storylines from the last three books in a way I never expected all these things to turn out. And she also connected the TMI series with her prequel series The Infernal Devices, which is quite exciting as well. I can't wait to read City of Lost Souls, since the ending to CoFA was a huge cliffhanger and I'm sure things will be getting even more chaotic in the last two books.
