I read the first 5 of these books a few years ago so when City of Heavenly Fire came out, I thought it was worth reading the whole series again so that I didn't forget anything that happened. After re-reading them, I now realise what a complete waste of time it was. Maybe this was due to my reading tastes changing or because I already knew what was coming but I just did not enjoy the books as much as I hoped that I would the second time around. 

So, this review is mainly a review on City of Heavenly fire:

Normally, I would of given City of Heavenly Fire 5/5 stars but I just didn't feel like it was worth it. It's no secret that this series was obviously dragged out past the initial trilogy so that more money could be made  (let's be honest, the series would of made sense if Clare just stopped at the end of city of glass which in my opinion was the best book) and book 4 was a complete bore fest for me but I think Clare brought this series back from the depths of hell slightly to finish off with a high, even though there was a few things which I didn't enjoy about the book. 

To start with, I think that the sections with emma was a complete waste of time and that if I'd read the book without them it would of still made sense.. In my opinion it's just another way to develop the blackthorn story line into another trilogy so that Clare can get more money from this. 
Don't get me wrong, I'll probably still read them just so that I can finish all of the shadowhunter chronicles even if I don't enjoy them.

The whole way through the book there was references to Tessa which I found annoying since I haven't read The Infernal Devices yet and wanted to get round to them soon but now I feel like I know what the endings are going to be to those books so I found it cheeky for Clare to presume that everyone had already read TID .

Other than that I thought the book was great (apart from the utter heartbreak I felt during the loss of a part certain persons memories which I will not say because of spoilers) and it was able to finally bring the series to a close.
