Crying forever

I haven't cried as hard as I did over this series (and the final book in particular) over any series ever. Not even Dumbledore's death came close. I mean, I was ugly sobbing for a solid 30 minute chunk of time on top of crying over at least 5 other parts of the book. If you like amazing books that make you cry, this series will change your life.

Good Story, Meh Narration

Sophie Turner decent, Jason Dohring bad, better than book 4-5. I never will understand why they can use one narrator through the entire series. Books 1-3 were perfect.

That Ending!

I have so many feelings about how this series has ended, but if I talked about any of them this review would be riddled with spoilers and I really try NOT to do that. With that being said, the amount of sass that comes from Alec in this book gives life. This boy is so salty and his displeasure really makes this journey enjoyable. I didn’t really have a problem with the narrators. I don’t understand why there were two and I preferred Sophie, but Jason wasn’t unpleasant. Don’t skip this one. The last chapter and the epilogue are simply divine!

Mixed feelings

Jason Dohring’s parts were a little monotone. Sophie Turner’s interpretation was much more lively, therefore more enjoyable.

Terrible Narration

Not sure who thought these two narrators would add to this audio book but they were wrong. I think I will need to switch to the Kindle version.

Horrible narrators.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jason Dohring and Sophie Turner ?

I really liked the narrator of the Clockwork Princess, Daniel Sherman. Really, anybody else probably would have been better. I have never written a review before, anthing really, but I felt I had to, to convey how bad Jason Dohring is. I imaging him being one of the silent brothers. There is very little inflection in his voice and almost completely lacking emotion. It is like listening to a robot.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but I just couldn't. The other books in the series, all of them in fact, I have been able to listen to almost non-stop. Jason Dohring was so BORING I just couldn't do it.

Any additional comments?

Get different narrators. Just because someone is a stage actor that doesn't mean they can do this kind of work. Narrators of audible books need to be able to convey the feeling of an entire scene through their voice inflection and emotion. Stage actors can do this with body language which is not possible on these audio books.

My Favorite of all the Mortal Instruments Books

If you could sum up City of Heavenly Fire in three words, what would they be?

Bittersweet, suspenseful, emotional

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jace is my favorite character because he is a bit of a smart*** and found him endearing.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Jason Dohring and Sophie Turner ?

Sophie Turner yes...Jason not so much. I love Sophie Turner as an actress in Game of Thrones and she does a wonderful job Jason is a little monotone for my liking.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Angels and Demons and Magic....OH MY!

Any additional comments?

Loved the entire series but City of Heavenly Fire is my absolute favorite...I am sad that there will be no more adventures for Jace and Clary.

Amazing story and narration

I loved this one, it got a little slow there in the middle but, trust me, the ending is well worth it. The perfect ending to an amazing series. Bravo.
