City of Glass ended in a good spot. Technically speaking the series could have ended very neatly right there. Thankfully it didn't though! So book 3 left off with Jace and Clary back together since they finally found out they are not related, yay! Alec has come out to his family and is dating Magnus. Simon, who has moved from vampire to daylighter, now has the Mark of Cain protecting him for being hurt or killed. Clary's mom is back, Valentine is dead, Sebastian is dead (but his body is missing), poor little Max is dead and Jace has been brought back from being dead. Whew.
And that takes us to City of Fallen Angels. Jace and Clary are together now but he starts to pull away due to some very confusing and frightening dreams he has been having. Clary is finally training to become a full fledged Shadowhunter. Meanwhile Luke and Jocelyn are engaged and planning their wedding and Simon is dating both Isabelle and Maia.
The war is over but peace does not last long. Members of Valentine's old group the Circle are being killed and mysterious people in tracksuits keep showing up trying to kill Simon. All the while Simon is dealing with problems at home. He tries to tell his mom that he is a vampire but she freaks out on him and now Simon has no place to go. Poor guy can't catch a break!
Who knew Simon would be such a central character?
Quotes:
“You know, some people think Shadowhunters are just myths. Like mummies and genies." Kyle grinned at Jace. "Can you grant wishes?"
"That depends," he said. "Do you wish to be punched in the face?”
and
“He looks," Simon had once said to Isabelle, "like he's thinking about something deep and meaningful, but if you ask him what it is, he'll punch you in the face.”
