A review by starrynews
City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare

3.0

We get a lot of answers in this final Mortal Instruments book, but a lot of new questions are developed by the heavy introduction of new characters - the Blackwood children and Emma Carstairs - presumably for the new Dark Artifices series. While a quick character appearance from other books can be fun, especially since these books are all set in the same universe, I thought that this book was a little heavy with it. In addition to the heavy time spent on the Blackwood children and Emma that served no real purpose to the occurrences of this book, there was also a lot from the Internal Devices.

Beyond that, we get a lot of resolution from our main MI characters, Clary, Jace, Izzy, Simon, Alec, and Magnus. It is a bittersweet and fitting ending.
