City of Fallen Angels
Okay I don't have a lot to say about this book except that it definitely is my least favorite book in the franchise. It seemed as though Cassandra Clare was reaching for a story that just wasn't there. I loved that I got to see more of Simon's world, but I just kept shaking my head and getting annoyed every time that I got to any part that dealt with Jace and Clary. I mean, come on, the teenage angst in this book was ridiculous. The two of them are so co-dependent it's unhealthy to some degree.
...It's almost like one can't function without the other. I listened to most of the book on audiobook and I loved the guy that was narrating, but the girl was just monotone and boring. The plot was extremely predictable. I mean I feel like nothing surprised me not even the ending. I'm continuing with the series because I hear her writing and plot development gets really good especially with Lady Midnight so hopefully this isn't me reading this series in vain. I'll be picking up with TID next since I'm reading them by publication order. Let me know about the rest of the series if you've read them all.

I mean, this book wasn't that bad. I did really like reading about Simon, who's my favorite character. However, I did wish that he would grow closer to the other Shadowhunters- or they to him. Give the guy a break. And yeah, the Clary/Jace stuff was way too angsty for me.

And just as an aside, there are a lot of hilarious tid-bits speckled throughout the book. Like when Simon and Isabelle discuss the Count from Sesame Street:"'It's not realistic.' 'What would you prefer? "What did the Count eat today, children? One helpless villager, two helpless villagers, three helpless villagers..."'"

Hated this book! Clary is too weak... and despite her supposed training can't fight in a battle. Plus Simon and Jace singlehandedly defeated the demon Lilith and sustained numerous injuries and she is the first to get healed cause she sprained her ankle. Ugh
