City of Fallen Angels (The Mortal Instruments #4)

Title: City of Fallen Angels
Author: Cassandra Clare
Series?: The Mortal Instruments
Synopsis:
The Mortal War is over, and sixteen-year-old Clary Fray is back home in New York, excited about all the possibilities before her. She's training to become a Shadowhunter and to use her unique power. Her mother is getting married to the love of her life. Downworlders and Shadowhunters are at peace at last. And - most importantly of all - she can finally call Jace her boyfriend.

But nothing comes without a price.

Someone is murdering Shadowhunters who used to be in Valentine's Circle, provoking tensions between Downworlders and Shadowhunters that could lead to a second bloody war. Clary's best friend, Simon, can't help her. His mother just found out that he's a vampire and now he's homeless. Everywhere he turns, someone wants him on their side - along with the power of the curse that's wrecking his life. And they're willing to do anything to get what they want. At the same time he's dating two beautiful, dangerous girls - neither of whom knows about the other one.

When Jace begins to pull away from Clary without explaining why, she is forced to delve into the heart of a mystery whose solution reveals her worst nightmare: She herself has set in motion a terrible chain of events that could lead to her losing everything she loves. Even Jace.

Love. Blood. Betrayal. Revenge. The stakes are higher than ever in City of Fallen Angels.
Why I Read This:
I read this because I had read the first three books in the series and was excited about where I thought this was going to go.

My Thoughts/Review:
I was very disappointed with this book. It took me forever to get through, and I even started on two other books while I was reading it because it was so boring nearly the whole time.

The entire book was just one big boring blob that was leading up to the very end of the book. There was next to no action, none of the stuff that I love Cassandra Clare's books for. It was okay, but not good. As of right now, I think TMI should have been a trilogy because this book was BORING.

There were two redeeming qualities: the ending (which was fairly awesome, considering the rest of the book), and Clary's training (which I was soo looking forward to). But they weren't even that redeeming.

Sorry guys, I can't really say much else because there's not much else to say. I just didn't like this book very much. It almost hurts me to give such a bad review of a book by Clare because I love her writing so much normally. Sorry, Cassandra.

2.5 out of 5 stars.
