Disappointed

What made the experience of listening to City of Heavenly Fire the most enjoyable?

The story

What didn’t you like about Jason Dohring and Sophie Turner ’s performance?

They have an English accent...New York is NOT England English speach.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No

Any additional comments?

I just can't get past the English accent.

Half good, half bad...

The story was good, and Sophie Turner does a good job narrating except her pronunciation of the word “anything” with an American accent!

Jason Doring’s read however was dreadful. No inflection. If that kind of thing bothers you, maybe read this one instead of listening.

A good last book

I really like how Cassandra wrapped everything up In this book. there wasn't anything left to wonder about.

The only thing that made this book a little hard to get through was the male narrator. He was a little monotone and that made his parts a little boring. overall I loved this book so much and loved this series and glad I finally got to finish it.

Story was great...narration..eh I have to agree..

What other book might you compare City of Heavenly Fire to and why?

All the Mortal Instruments (and all the spin offs) are amazing and I am sad to have run out! Bitter sweet moment.

How could the performance have been better?

As far as the narrations are concerned. I think Sophie did a good job but I'd much have preferred an American accent only because I would have liked to envision Clary (who's a New Yorker) telling the story. Also it's clear to me that they decided to do British accents for the shadowhunters because that's what they did in the movie (although it makes no sense being that they were all also raised in New York. Never the less I have a strong imagination and was able to get over it. I missed the previous narrator. As for Jason Dohring... he did ok but wasn't as animated. I didn't really understand why the narrators switched as they did but overall the story was captivating enough that I got used to it and just enjoyed the story.

Now that's what I'm talking about

If you are coming from the last few books might not be looking forward to this one. Or at least I wasn't. However I was shocked and delighted to see that she found that spark from earlier books that I loved so much! I could not put it down!

Great story

Jason dhoring brought the characters to life! Wraps up everything well. Leavibg a little bit of Simon behind. Just amazing.

City of Heavenly Fire.

The first book and this one are my favorites of the series. Narrator is really good.

good resolution, narration distracting

I found the pacing of the male narrator distracting. Also it was a bit odd how they did the American /British accents different from the previous books. It took away from my ability to really get absorbed in the story. Yet it was a good resolution to the multiple story lines.

The good guys win or not?

This has been such a great series! I've read it several times, as well as listened to it.

Jason Dohring is the worst narrator ever.

My dog could have done a better job narrating this book than Jason Dohring did. The story is great but he ruins everything.
