Yasmin Haidar yasminhaid5f9b — *note after 4/14 re-read* so originally it was "10 little niggers". then the poem and the name of the island was changed to "10 little indians". well in the kindle version i just read, it has been changed again - this time to "10 little soldiers" on "soldier island". i find this piece of the book makes it even more of a wonder and fascinating work as both a mystery, a period piece, and a piece of history. * even though i've read this book over and over, i still am surprised at all the twists and red herrings and everything. it's freaking genius at its best. the characters are more vivid than you'd expect, little details stick with you (i keep thinking of the food in the pantry) and it's just marvelous how she manages to pull it all off. can't recommend it enough.

Shaneal Singh uprock — Fluid descriptive passages and witty dialogue ensure that Fallen Angels is a clever, addictive read. Simon’s misunderstood pop-culture references make for some particularly amusing scenes. However, the middle of the book is slow, perhaps as a result of the main villain’s anonymity and physical absence. The plot is also patchy in places, but I like how this present-day series is beginning to connect with the Victorian-era Infernal Devices books. Cassandra Clare has a way of sneaking her characters' banter and distinct idiosyncrasies into readers’ hearts, so regardless of the book’s pacing, I was hooked. Clary is a strong and resourceful protagonist in the first three books; by her own admission, she seems less driven in Fallen Angels, as her focus is mainly on her relationship. The result is some great passionate moments with Jace – yay! – but also a fair bit of pining while they’re apart. Still tormented by his inner demons, Jace also lacks some of his usual bravado, and his actions add some (perhaps unnecessary) angst to their relationship. Simon is a true hero in this book. He undergoes more personal struggles than the entire cast combined, and still maintains his endearing nerdy-ness. Perhaps my single "issue" with Simon is that he’s so unerringly good that even in his most conflicted moments there’s no real sense of (moral) uncertainty. This makes him an admirable and sympathetic character, but not quite as interesting as one might hope. That said, City of Fallen Angels is a worthy sequel, not as fast-paced as the original trilogy, but just as compulsively readable and full of so-real-they-jump-off-the-page characters.
