City of Fallen Angels

                ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️4/5 Stars


Just when you think things will get better, they get worse. After the very dramatic, and I'll admit extreemly upsetting, death of Valentine, I wasn't sure where things were heading next. 

I wasn't convinced Savastian/Jonathan was dead. I knew there would be a twist in there somewhere. I was right. 

Things were shaky to begin with for Jace and Clary. But it just seemed to get worse for them both throughout the book. Could they not just be happy for once, that's all I want. But what's a story without a little heartbrake. 

I'm liking the new Simon a lot. I wasn't sure about him and Maia but Isobelle and him were just meant to be. I can't wait to see where their relationship will head. 

As for Jocelyn and Luke, well I can't say I was surprised. Although I was hoping hey would be married by the end but oh well. 

There's even more powerful demon on the loose that no one even knew existed. One that cannot be easily defeated.

City Of Glass

              ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 Stars

Ok now things are making much more sense. So in my Coty Of Ashes review I wrote the following: 

"What I did notice was that they made out like Jace had known who his real Father was for years and that he had lived with Valentine at some stage in his life. I may be wrong but that's what it sounded like." 

This was finally explained. Jace was brought up by Valentine in Idris, but he is not his son. It's fairly easy to understand once all the facts are out there. 

I love that all the relationships in this series are stregnthened in this book. There's: 
Jace & Clary 
Alec & Magnus
Isabelle & Simon 
Simon & Maia
Clary & Simon
Amatis & Luke
Luke & Jocelyn

It's so nice when things work out. Well not everything did. I was dreading the ending to be honest. I knew a certain character was going to die, and I couldn't except it. But another dies before that, which I wasn't expecting. It completely threw me off and tore me apart. Preparing me for what was to come I guess. 

It still had a happy ending which is what counts most to me.
