I put off reading this book for a while knowing that I really enjoyed the first three, that originally it was suppose to just be a trilogy, and knowing that the 5th wasn't coming out until May. I'm glad I waited.The best thing about City of Fallen Angels is the characters that we love from the first three are all back. But the rest of it just wasn't that great. It felt too forced for me. A little too obvious. [Spoiler Alert] The whole bringing the bad guy back "from the dead" to write more books thing has been done. And when will Jace stop punishing himself? I miss the obnoxious, cocky Jace we met in the beginning. I went in to this book not expecting a lot from it. And I'm glad I did. City of Fallen Angels is just a filler in a series. I hope City of Lost Souls offers a bit more. 3.5 Stars
