bangiebangs reviewed City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare

No cover — Cassandra Clare: City of Heavenly Fire (Hardcover, 2014, McElderly)

Review of 'City of Heavenly Fire' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

Much better than #5, I thought, and nicely ties up the various loose ends. I think that the portrayal of Sebastian here was really good and went quite in-depth. Definitely some steamy pages, and if you've only see the series so far (Hi, like me), there are a bunch of surprises here!

Didn't like this one as much as the earlier ones - just felt like the story wasn't really moving, and had some lengths. Wouldn't re-read as a standalone (but might do it if I ever read the whole series again).
