The feel of this book was different then the 1st 3 books in the series or it's sister series Clockwork Angel. 
 I enjoyed the book but was not as blown away as the beginning of the series. This book was not as fast paced or exciting. I loved having Simon's point of view. Maybe it felt off because it was missing Jace's sarcastic humor & 400 pages of Jace's self torture was a bit much. 
 I found it odd that one of the main plot lines was the marriage of Jocelyn & Luke and the book ended before the event took place. 
 I read the previous 3 books back to back ending with City of Fallen Angels & it was obvious that this book felt different. I liked getting to know several character's better: Maia, Jordan Kyle, & Simon. In the previous books there was a good balance of happiness and grief, this felt as if I was slowly bleeding with small amounts of contentment peppered in. I was engrossed in the story line and look forward to the next books in the series to see what happens. After finishing the book and with how it ended I'm not sure I actually enjoyed reading City of Fallen Angels. I enjoy a little bit of tortured emotions in a book but this didn't let me catch my breath before I was hit with it again. I'll do a reread in the future to see if my opinion changes, until then I am a mix of love & hate over the book.
