A beautiful, BEAUTIFUL ending to this series!!! I laughed, cried, was on the edge of my seat, and every other emotion possible! So many memorable and well-written moments. I’m so sad it’s over, but I will definitely be reading the rest of Clare’s books in the Shadow world!!

I have no words. I sobbed through the end. I aspire to write like Cassandra. The ending is my favorite. I don’t know what else to say. Incredible book—the perfect ending to this perfect series.

There is a sex scene toward the 3/4 mark. I wouldn’t say it’s graphic, but it does include a lot of kissing and vague descriptions of the act.

Ahhh I gotta say that these books were not my favourite. The antagonist dies in a lame way…like 6 books of rivalry and goes out in the lamest way possible. 

Also this back and forth between Clary and Jace is really overrated. It saddens me that this series wasn’t better. The infernal devices is by far much better.

It’s a couple pages of sex. But nothing super graphic. You read between the lines.

5.0

It felt like a bit more of an ending than City of Glass. I think it helps to think of the first three books in this series as the trilogy and the second set of three books as a seauel trilogy. I was sad that this was the end of the series and didn't fully realize until halfway through the book. As expected of the final book of a series, lots of loose ends/unfinished stories were tied up. A good ending to the series - finished up the plot points that needed to be wrapped up. I need to see if the characters were this self-aware in the previous book, because with a lot of the dialogue/interactions it really felt like a couple of them had gone through years of therapy between this book and the last. Really had its Spiderman: No Way Home moment. I had far too many moments trying to figure out where each familiar last name and name came from but eventually gave up.

Beautiful wrap up to the series. Bring tissues for both happy and sad tears. A thrilling last installment to this series and I will greatly miss all the characters.
