I also don't want you to know more than they do, because that way, actually, does lie boredom. I want to you to feel what the characters feel, feel their pain, feel their fear, feel their anxiety and uneasiness. The other characters do not know what has happened, and they are panicking. The answer is a slight spoiler: the reason COFA ends like it does is because the next book begins weeks later. I do have faith you'd read the next book without a cliffhanger ending. So why the cliffhanger, in all seriousness? It is not to get you to read the next book. Those people are giving the rest of you the beady eye right now. The vast majority of my readers came along after City of Bones so they don't remember this, but the year between City of Bones and City of Ashes was not fun for the people who got the sibling bombshell dropped on them at the end of CoB and had to wait for CoA to see whether that was the end of Clary and Jace or not. I expected a love/hate relationship with it - maybe not so much fainting. I knew it was one of those endings that comes along and kicks you in the back of the knees - everything seems fine, you're four pages from the end, what could go wrong, and then wham. I was mildly - not entirely - surprised by how intense the reaction to the ending of COFA is. It is of course very spoilery, so please AVOID if you haven't read COFA.ġ) I hate cliffhangers? Why is the ending so mean? Why are you so mean? This is the big answer post I was talking about earlier, which answers the most-asked questions people had about Fallen Angels. So that's all awesome, and thank you all so much! 'The Mirror House' from 'Vacations from Hell'įirst off, I wanted to say thanks to everyone who came by to leave a comment about City of Fallen Angels, or ask a question, or who came to a signing, or who just read a copy of the book! Thanks to you guys, City of Fallen Angels was #1 on the New York Times series bestseller list (which is a tough list to get onto, since it counts the sales of every book in a series), #1 on the Wall Street Journal Fiction Bestseller List, #2 on the USA Today bestseller list, which counts every book for sale in the entire country.The Mundanes: A Mortal Instruments fan forum.
