I wish I could give this book more than five stars. It exceeded every expectation I had. I laughed, I cried, I fangirled, and then cried some more. (lots of tears) Beyond emotional book and Cassandra Clare ended it perfect. Such a beautiful & amazing end to the series. I'm so unbelievably heartbroken that it is over, but it has been such a wonderful journey with these characters & I'm so grateful to have read this series. ...more

Okay 1. Who are the 6? I only counted (view spoiler) Who are the others?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

2. How is Emma Carstairs related to Jem? I mean he only just got cured of his silent brotherism. How is it possible for Tessa and Jem to have descendants already when Jem has been a silent brother for a hundred years!? So ...more

Ahh this book is amazing: fast paced, hilarious and heart wrenchingly perfect.
Easily the best book I've read this year so far.

I'm really glad that Alec was shown to be Jace's equal because I've kinda always shunned him as a fighter beside Jace and Isabelle but he became BADASS.

POOR SIMON. My favourite character switched throughout the series from Magnus to Jace to Izzy to Alec but overall it's gotta be Simon: with his patheticness evolving into fearlessness, although I'd always previously rese ...more

Ok. I want to cry that it is over but this book was so good. Like omg ima die good. Cassie always blows my mind on the last books. Ok what I loved was how she DID NOT kill any of the really MAJOR characters like Magnus Alec and Izzy. I though Simon would die (view spoiler)
It made me cry... SO FREAKING MUCH... All those cliff hangers... AHHHH!!!! OMG I cant forget Sebastian. Clary was so smart with how she did it!!! (view spoiler) Ok.

(view spoiler) I just could not contain my tears any longer. OMG JAMES CARSTAIRS!!! I cant believe how ugh HOW great of a Shadowhunter he is with out all the drugs! I just OMG I LOVED IT. I knew he was always a good Shadowhunter but wow... XD Ok Clary really redeemed herself. I thought in the last book that Clary totally Fucked up what Jace had a plan for but she really did it. She saved Jace and then i look at all she has ever done I mean look at her. She has a thick skull no one is allowed to push her around or tell her what to do. I really hope I see her in TDA with ah, Emma helping her out. Jace too. I really hope i see every one again from TMI in TDA that would be great.

Let me just say that there was really nothing not to like in this book. I actually now that i think about it, wish that she explained sorta what happened after the end. Did Simon ever get (view spoiler) ? Did Clary and Jace ever had kids? Did they get married? What about Magnus and Alec did they get married at all? How is Tessa and Jem and Church? Lots of questions unanswered.... Lots.

Herondale Out.

"Hail, Master" RIGHT IN DEM FEEEELSSS!!!!! ...more

I can't believe this series is over... I have no words to describe how much I loved this book.
Can't wait for Lady Midnight <3

My favourite quotes:

“Heroes aren’t always the ones who win,” she said. “They’re the ones who lose, sometimes. But they keep fighting, they keep coming back. They don’t give up. That’s what makes them heroes.”

He had always thought as himself as a brave person. It took courage to live an immortal life and not close off your heart and mind to any new experiences or new people ...more
