Lately it seems like all I read is the stuff I have to read. Not that I'm not enjoying what I'm reading but it is nice to have a choice. <br /><br />I do like TMI series but I've never been in love with it. The surprising thing to me is that I'm listening to City of Fallen Angels on audio lately and it is the best book in the series so far in my opinion lol. <br /><br />I really need to read the Fallen Series since you enjoy it so much. I'm pretty sure I have the first book so now it is a matter of just getting started! :)<br /><br />Thanks for all of the great reviews!Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504096607685421368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-29425427720747623092012-09-29T12:47:01.149-07:002012-09-29T12:47:01.149-07:00I really loved the Fallen series.

I love the fallen angel stories. I agree with your review. I'm honestly sad to se the series end, but I truely loved how it ended. I also cried at a certain part and wished that wasn't there, but all in all the book really as great. I love Luce and Daniel, seperately and as a whole and I loved where she went with them. I felt like she left the ending open for several of the other chracters, especially Cam. Kate really left Cam open the whole book. I'm keping my fingers crossed hat she will write a spin off series using Cam and maybe insert the others here and there. I loved Cam and want to see more from him. He really was a great character an in my eyes misunderstood. Here's to hoping for a series about Cam!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10260205963702399437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-73500771883498784572012-09-28T20:51:18.515-07:002012-09-28T20:51:18.515-07:00Oh wow, that's lucky!

I think it was because, like you said, COG was great and then it was almost like setting up another trilogy all over again with COFA. I do love how she is intertwining her Infernal Devices series. <br /><br />I have to say though, I'm not a huge fan of the Fallen series, but I did enjoy the way she wrapped everything up. Like you, I am really hoping for a Cam spinoff.<br /><br />Teresa @ <a href="http://readerslive1000lives.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Readers Live A Thousand Lives</a>Teresa Mary Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573535131010947664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-87847283200801741882012-09-28T12:39:44.317-07:002012-09-28T12:39:44.317-07:00I'm with you, Andrea, I would've been fine...I'm with you, Andrea, I would've been fine with TMI ending on the third <br />book because I thought that ending was perfect. I will not pick up book<br />4 until 5 & 6 are out because of CC's love of a painful cliffhanger. I learned<br />my lesson after reading Clockwork Prince and I'm not going to fall for that again! <br />I stopped reading the Fallen series after book 2 & I really need to pick<br />up the last two so I can see how things end.

I did finish the first book (and I had bought the first three all at once for my nook) and never picked up the second one. I can see why people like the series, it just wasn't for me. Maybe I will try again later. I love the TMI series, but I totally get what you mean about smells and looks being overly used.
