City of Fallen Angels

It's been a while since I posted on here. I still check back once in a while but I've been trying to get my writing career off the ground by perfecting my art. So to any of you who care. Hi!

Anyway.....this is about the latest book I read called City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare.

I think I've mentioned her before and well this is the latest installment that takes place in this epic reality.

The first three books she wrote in this world were called the Mortal Instruments. And well this book has the number four on it but it is actually the first in another trilogy.

Recap-

Clary Fray falls in love with Jace, a Shadowhunter. Finds out she is also a Shadowhunter/ one who is descendant of a man who was given special powers by the Angel Raziel. Tragedy strikes and their love is threatened. Her best friend gets turned to a vampire, the man she's known all her life and loved as a father is found to be a werewolf and her mother has taken her to a warlock to get her Sight taken away every few years all of her life!

The warlock, Magnus Bane is awesome!! He is also gay and falls for Alec who is like a brother to Jace. Who is also found to be gay and in the end....yes they kiss!

Well now that the recap is done.

Let's move on to CoFA

Now as Ms. Clare said there is more Simon in this book. Which is the vampire (Clary's best friend.) Juggling two girl friends we can finally see the geeky clumsy guy from the first three books begin to understand the scope of what his vampire life will be. Of course his life is made more complicated because Clary had put a mark on him in the third book of MI series. The mark of Cain.

When everyone starts to come at him wanting him on their side he has to decide who to trust. Will it be Jordan Kyle, the man who hurt one of people he cares for? Or will it be Camille, a vampire who is more devious than she appears?

Of course if you enjoy a good action story filled with magic and intense love this is an awesome read.

Of course I haven't even mentioned the prequel to this series that she started last year with Clockwork Prince.

Maybe I'll post a review of that one. Remember everyone. Anime is great and so is art! But read a book once in a while because it takes more imagination when you don't have picture. Trust me you won't regret it.

Ms. Clare is a fantastic author who has not disappointed me so far.

Vote for the Best Fan Words on the O!

I had an idea yesterday. Despite my lack of success on this site when it comes to my writing.

I know there are allot of great stories out there on the O. I propose a vote. It's open to all forms of stories, from fan fic to original. Vote for your favorite!!!

After a month I'll tally the votes and feature a review of the story here on my world!

Voting ends on July 20, 2010

Let me know your favorites, even if it's your own!

Mistborn

Brandon Sanderson is my new..or I should say current.... favorite Author. He wrote the Mistborn trilogy.

Now Mistborn has one of the most original system of magic that I have ever heard of. It is based on Allomatic metals that are burned in the user's stomach. Sounds gross? Well I guess. But each metal gives the user a certain power. Like Pewter. It gives the person strength. Copper is like a radar blocker for the other allomancers that are trying to detect you using the metals. It is a fantastic series of books that has love and plot twists and in the end a religious undertone that isn't at all overbearing. The ending is a surprise...as all of Mr. Sanderson's book are.

I know I haven't been up here lately. If you'll forgive me but I've been working..and working hard... on my writing career. That seems to be going slower than I had originally planned. But none the less its going. I've all but given up on putting up my stories here. It's mostly fanfic..and even though there is nothing wrong with that... I've found an audience that likes my stories. But I'll keep coming on here to let you know about books I think are worth a read. I'm going to try to do a few more reviews up here on some of Mr. Sanderson's books. Like Elantris and Warbreaker. Both awesome reads.

Also when inspiration comes back for my art I'll begin posting them as well.

Until then my very small audience and my friends. I will be back. Soon I hope..

Edward

Well I was watching Twiglight to prepare my senses for New moon which I had already seen in theatres but of course must buy the DVD. And well I got in the mood to draw. Now this isn't my normal Genre. Sketching life is harder. But I think it came out alright. So here it is. And for all those who do't think this is the right thing for the Readersroom. -_- I don't care. My world...lol...

Clockwork Angel

Cassandra Claire...yes the same author as I've mentioned before that wrote the Mortal Instruments series has a new book coming out in September.

It's called Clockwork Angel. It takes place in the same world as Mortal Instruments but it's more like a prequal. This is the first installment of Infernal Devices. I'm absolutely ecstatic about this. Though I have to admit the thing I'm most excited about is the reappearance of a character that was in the first three books. His name is Magnus Bane, a warlock...who is by the way gay. But he is also funny and dark in places. Beside his sparkly attire and interest in a shadow hunter named Alec Lightwood, he is well awesome! You have to read it.... to enjoy it.

Here is a link to an exerpt from chapter 8.
