I finished the audio book of City of Fallen Angels, the 4th book in The Mortal Instruments series, 3 weeks after I posted about it’s release. That’s because I was still finishing up the first book in Cassandra Clare’s new series The Infernal Devices, Clockwork Angel. And I’m really glad I finished them in that order. I was actually working on Clockwork Angel and City of Glass (the 3rd Mortal Instruments book) at the same time. It got a little confusing keeping everything straight at times, but since there are some crossover references I’m glad to say I have now finished all of Ms. Clare’s books. And I love them.
Clockwork Angel takes place in Victorian London, about a decade after the much talked about peace treaties between Shadowhunters and Downworlders in The Mortal Instruments series. This story focuses on Tessa Gray, an orphan girl lured from New York to London to live with her ne’er-do-well brother after the death of her aunt. When she arrives in London, however, she is captured and tortured by the Dark Sisters, who reveal to her that she is a shapeshifter (an “Eidolon”). They answer to The Magister, a mysterious figure who apparently wants to marry her.
