City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare – review

This book is simply magical; it transported me away from England to the likes of New York and Idris in a matter of seconds.

Sebastian Morgenstern leaves death and destruction in his wake in this final instalment of the Mortal Instruments series.

Clary, Jace, Simon, Isabelle and Alec battle against demons as well as their own kind and make alliances in order to overthrow the threat of Sebastian and the Endarkened – even if their journey takes them where no Nephilim has been before, into the demon realms...

When this book came out, I devoured it in a matter of hours despite its 733 pages! Cassandra Clare has managed to weave in hints from her previous and upcoming series, which is pure genius.

City of Heavenly Fire

This book contains my favourite character ever, Isabelle Lightwood, but all of the characters are beautifully written in this series. Even the more immoral characters seem elegant when described by Clare. Her description of each scene is beautiful, even when the scenery itself is not quite so beautiful.

This book made me laugh and cry, and was the best ending to a series I have ever read! If you have not read this book/series, I highly recommend it! I could read this book a thousand times over and never get bored.
