I liked this book a lot better when I was in 6th grade.

I'm not going to lie—I thought this series should have ended at City of Glass. It was a trilogy, right? We resolved our conflict and had our happy ending, and our favorite Shadow Hunters can go on with their lives. Thing is, though, as I was reading this one... they still have this job to do. Sure, they went through conflict. It was resolved. City of Fallen Angels is what happens after the happy ending. While most stories end with just that, this one goes beyond and says... "okay, what now?" Not all is happily ever after, it seems. Simon finally—somewhat accidentally—comes out to his mother (as a vampire, I mean), and Jace is riddled with horrifying dreams where he kills Clary, thus ignoring her all the time. And Simon's band has a new lead singer, and you know we don't just introduce new characters for the heck of it. Honestly, I didn't love the story as much as I did the trilogy. I suppose nothing beats your first love. But it's certainly action-packed and enjoyable. Jace is still moody, which Clary tries to [finally] kick out of him. Simon's dating two different girls, which causes some fun drama. But in the end, relationships are strained. They have to choose sides, have to figure out who's trustworthy. And even the ones that are supposed to be the most reliable are acting strange. And of course, we have a cliffhanger. Curses.
