Cassandra Clare reading an excerpt from CoFA:
Synopsis:
City of Fallen Angels
takes place after the events of City of Glass. It splits its focus
between Jace and Clary and Clary’s best friend, Simon, and how he
adjusts to life as a vampire, but it’s still an ensemble-cast story,
and all the characters from the Mortal Instruments series appear in it:
Jace, Isabelle, Alec, Magnus, Luke, Jocelyn, Maia, and many more. (It
even helps to have read The Clockwork Angel before you read CoFA,
because some of the characters from the ID series do show up in it.
However, it isn’t required.) In City of Fallen Angels, someone’s
killing the Shadowhunters who used to be in Valentine’s Circle and
leaving their bodies around New York City in a manner designed to
provoke hostility between Downworlders and Shadowhunters. Internecine
warfare among vampires is ripping the Downworld community apart, and
only Simon — the Daylighter who everyone wants on their side — can
decide the outcome; too bad he wants nothing to do with Downworld
politics. Meanwhile Jace and Clary investigate a mystery that has deeply
personal consequences for them — consequences that may strengthen
their relationship, or rip it apart forever. Love, blood, betrayal and
revenge: the stakes are higher than ever in City of Fallen Angels.
CASTING NEWS
On another note, Lily Collins of The Blind Side has been cast as Clary in the 2012 adaptation of City of Bones! She's so stunning, and I think she looks like a perfect fit for the role of Clary. I don't know about her acting skills though...
I am so excited!! Have you guys heard any more news?
