Publisher's summary

City of Fallen Angels take up where City of Glass left off. With Valentine out of the way, Clary thought she and Jace could finally be together--but when someone starts murdering the Shadowhunters who used to be in Valentine's Circle and leaving their bodies around New York City in a manner designed to destroy the new peace between Downworlders and Shadowhunters, she realizes the past can never be left entirely behind. As the Shadowhunters scramble to find out what's really going on, Jace breaks off all communication with her, refusing to tell her why. Desperate to help him, Clary plunges into solving the mystery, coming ever closer to a secret whose revelation may mend her relationship with Jace--or rip it apart forever. Meanwhile, when Camille Belcourt, the elegant bloodsucker who used to rule New York's vampire clans with an iron fist, returns to the city determined to re-establish her control, a vampire war is born. Only Simon--the Daylighter who everyone wants on their side--can decide the outcome; too bad he's caught up in his own complicated love life and wants nothing to do with Downworld politics! Love, blood, betrayal and revenge: the stakes are higher than ever in City of Fallen Angels.

Love the male narrator, hate the femme

What did you love best about City of Fallen Angels?

The book is a great continuation of the story and I really enjoyed it. My only complaint is that, while the male narrator is great, the woman is really not good at this. She has very little inflection and feeling to her narration. I'd have been happier if it had been Ed Westwick only. Still, a great story.

Good story bad narration

Would you try another book from Cassandra Clare and/or Ed Westwick and Molly C. Quinn ?

Molly Quinn is not a good narrator. What happened to Natalie Moore? Ed Westwick did an excellent job.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Simon was my favorite this time.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Molly didn't do a good job of distinguishing between characters.

Loved it!

Loved the storyline and the narrators!!!!
I highly recommend this series. With Love, action, magic, and developed characters you will become addicted!

not a fan of voice actors

The voice actors are rough to listen to and made it very hard to make it through the book.

love

As always I love the story, but I have to say that Ed Westwick has to be one of my favorite male narrators. He has such a beautiful voice and has the right kind of emotions, at the right times, with the right amount. Molly Quinn is quiet good as well.

Making Headlines for Readers

Absolutely, The BEST BOOKS I have ever encountered!! This entire Series, from short stories and bio's on Character's they are the best!! Someone needs to make the movies for each of these.

horrible narrating

Having this book switch between 2 narrators was very difficult as they both did characters voices differently. Worst of all that Jace has a British accent in the books and this man made him sound like a Brooklyn thug. it changed everything for me. on top of both narrators mispronounced names. it was so hard to get through.

Great story, TERRIBLE narrators

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes, the story of this book was wonderful!

How could the performance have been better?

I hated the narrators. They were incredibly horrible especially compared with the previous books. The male voice with the British accent was very difficult to understand when the book first began. The female voice was a thousand times worse. She completely mispronounced all of the series specific words... I had to cringe every time I heard her voice. The switch between male & female voices were seemingly at random and did not make any sense in relation to the book. If the story hadn't been so good, I probably would have stopped listening, even though I had paid for the book. I just hope they have changed narrators for the next book because I can't stand any more of these 2.

This was done perfectly!

I LOVE that they did the narration with a male and female! THAT was awesome! I've never heard that done before and it made the story that much better! I hope the last 2 are done the same.

Why did they switch narrators?

Would you consider the audio edition of City of Fallen Angels to be better than the print version?

NO!!!! I hate the narrators of this story. They can't pronounce word right and don't create character voices. It is hard to follow a conversation.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Ed Westwick and Molly C. Quinn ?

No, I want Natalie Moore back. She was not the best but she is way better than these two!

Any additional comments?

The story is great, but the narrators are awful. I wanted to buy the book and read it instead of listening because I can't stand listening to these two ruin this book.
