City of Fallen Angels

Since I felt like City of Glass ended the Mortal Instruments series I never bothered to pick up City of Fallen Angels until I started watching Shadow Hunters on Freeform.

I love the angle that was taken with Simon and how things started out with his problems, it felt like he got a bit under-shadowed in the previous books but had a chance to shine in City of Fallen Angels. I did sort of miss the Valentine influence since he had played such a massive role in the previous books however I never wanted to put the book down when my lunch break was over.

I don't have the fifth book but I do plan on ordering it from the library.

United as One

United as One is the final book in the I am Number Four series. While I loved I am Number Four I felt the rest of the series was one let down after another but I did want to know the fate of the Garde so I finished the series.

John was the only character I really felt a connection with, I think the other Garde keeping their numbers and not names played a part in that role. Sadly as the series went on I felt less and less connected with the characters and just wanted to know the end. Then I was disappointed in the ending it had so much build up to the grand finale that I felt it was a let d own.

One day I may pursue the novellas but not right now I need a break from the characters. 

The Fate of Ten

The Fate of Ten is the sixth book in the I am Number Four series and it took me awhile to read. I was pretty bored with it in parts.

Ella is still fighting to get away from the Mogs and learning to embrace her telepathy. Struggling to hold on to her humanity as she works at escaping Ella is given a special gift that allows her to learn the real story between the Guarde and Mogs.

Determined to save humanity John works tirelessly with the other Guarde to fight against the Mogs. Overwhelmed by the odds they fear all is lost when a sacred Lorite temple is revealed. Splitting up half the group goes to Mexico to investigate this temple and the other half race to New York where the Mogs intend to attack.

The writing still throws me at times and I do have to think which character is talking at the start of new chapters. Since they are all told from first person point of view it can take me awhile to figure it out. Since I am almost done with the series I do intend to finish it.
