City of Fallen Angels Information

We're all so excited for next year's release of City Of Fallen Angels, and can't wait for it's release. In case anyone has missed it, Cassie's been answering a lot of questions on Twitter lately about CoFA and Infernal Devices. We've put all the Q&A's on our Mundie Moms Forum in case anyone's missed them.

To help answer some questions, we wanted to post what Cassie has on her site about COFA-

City of Fallen Angels will be released worldwide in English in March, 2011.

I usually post excerpts of upcoming books on the website about eight months before publication. In the case of City of Fallen Angels, it's going to be a little different: the American paperback of City of Glass will be released on August 3, 2010, and it will contain a full chapter of City of Fallen Angels in it, as well as a full chapter of Clockwork Angel, the first book in the Mortal Instruments prequel series The Infernal Devices, which is going to be released August 31, 2010. (Since there is no special paperback release date in the UK/Aus/NZ, Clockwork Angel, when released there in August/September, will contain the full chapter of City of Fallen Angels.)

Until the release date of the paperback of Glass, I'm embargoed (forbidden) from sharing excerpts of Fallen Angels, but you can find an excerpt of Clockwork Angel here! Remember, the correct order to read the Shadowhunter books is in publication order—characters from Clockwork Angel show up in Mortal Instruments 4, and it will make better sense to you if you've started CA already. You don't have to read CA—both series are totally comprehensible on their own, and neither spoils the other—but in much the same way that reading The Magician's Nephew is more fun if you've read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, reading City of Fallen Angels is more fun if you've read The Clockwork Angel first!

Sarah Rees Brennan's April COOKIE for Demon's Covenant

I'm dying to read this! This cookie makes me even more excited about it's release next MONTH!

Mae sat on the floor with her back to the wall and said, “I keep trying to think of a lesson plan for humanity. I keep trying to think of any sort of plan, but I don’t have one. Nobody taught me to be human. I picked it up as I went along. I don’t even know where to start.”

She didn’t actually expect any suggestions from Nick, standing silhouetted and silent at the window.

But he said, “I thought we could start with this,” and threw a child’s copybook at her feet.

Mae stared at it for a moment, wondering if it was an old one of his or Alan’s, but when she turned it over she saw no name written on it, and when she thumbed through the pages she found writing that looked adult.

“It’s my dad’s diary,” Nick said.

Mae almost dropped the book. “Black—”

“No! I mean Alan’s father. Daniel,” he said. “Alan gave it to me after I knew everything. He said he thought it would help me to read it, and I tried, but I can’t read when I’m — disturbed.”

Daniel Ryves. Olivia had talked about him, a little. She’d said that no man ever tried as hard as he had. The guy who’d saved her and Nick when she’d run to him, who had died to protect them all from magicians, who Alan had said would’ve wanted them to help people in trouble. St. Daniel of the Shel-
ter for Women and Slightly Demonic Children.

Mae couldn’t imagine what he could have written to upset Nick.

“Well,” she said. The front of the copybook was gray and nubbly under her fingers, like worn old cardboard. “Well . . . sure.”

She opened the book to the first page and read.

'I am writing this for my son to read, after I am dead.

I have to accept that this is a possibility.

The life I have chosen for us is dangerous. Four years ago I would never have believed any of this was possible. Four years ago I thought I had suffered as much as any man could suffer, that I could never suffer more.

Four years ago I was a fool. Now I have seen magic written on the air in letters of fire, I have cut through enemies with an enchanted sword, and I have stared into the eyes of demons.
