It’s amazing how good a book can be once you abandon the incest plotline

Listing to this series as a casual re-read. Last read the series in early high school. 
There is a level of cheesiness with the romantic relationships and at the same time there are some very valid fears within the relationships tackled; a combination my teenage self died for.(would I still throw myself in front of a train for happiness in Magnus and Alec’s relationship….possibly) I still enjoy the story, there are some good twists and mysteries built in. However, it is by no means the most intricate/detailed fantasy plot I’ve ever read. I do appreciate the lack of short term cliffhangers, long term problems both internal and external however have quite a bit on tension left unresolved.

City of Fallen Angels

- ...ok where to start
- i love this series with my whole heart and soul but i don't even have words for this
- the plot was confusing, it stretched out for what felt like so long and it only got good when
SpoilerJace got possessed

- so the plot from what i've gathered is...
Spoiler Lilith is Sebastian's "mother" and she wanted to make more babies like Sebastian but she failed. she got Camille to kill Downworlders so that she could inject their blood into the babies???? but Camille had her own plot of wanting to retake her spot so she needed Simon??? but Simon was also needed by Lilith to bring back Sebastian and also Lilith have Jace the nightmares so she could control him and perform the ritual to bring Sebastian back??
idk it's very confusing and the plot stretches out for what seems like so long
- it's a bit boring but then the ending realLLY started to get good.
- yk i really wish they made the rest of the books into movies bc i know dAMN WELL that jamie campbell bower would absolutely NAIL the way
Spoiler Jace was acting while possessed.

- anyways i LOVED the ending and that kinda redeemed it for me
- i can't tell which i liked more, coa or cofa but idk. it wasn't as good as cob or cog
-THE CLIFFHANGER OH MY GODDDDDDDD I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHERE THIS GOES
