He leído cientos de libros (sí, me atrevo a decir cientos) algunos muy conocidos, otros no tanto. He tenido la oportunidad de expresarle a Cassandra mis sentimientos ante su escritura, y he tenido la suerte de tener una respuesta de su parte. Parece estúpido tener sentimientos tan fuertes hacia el producto de la imaginación de alguien más, pero para aquellos, como yo, que de alguna manera han reparado sus palabras tiene tanto sentido como ver la luz del.sol. Durante mucho tiempo viví con el mied ...more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. This book was beyond amazing! I don't think i have ever been moved so much by a book. The ending had me outright crying. I was so bittersweet but i was happy with the ending!

****if you haven't read the book yet stop reading this*******

I was so relieved when Jem was not dead but i was also heart broken by this life and being so alone even tho knowing he was in TMI and all which kinda made me happy but sad. And all that Will went through. Jem and Will truly broke my heart. There bond was so stron This book was beyond amazing! I don't think i have ever been moved so much by a book.

I was so relieved when Jem was not dead but i was also heart broken by this life and being so alone even tho knowing he was in TMI and all which kinda made me happy but sad. And all that Will went through. Jem and Will truly broke my heart. There bond was so strong and beautiful. I was not expecting to feel the way I did. From the start(in Clockwork Angel) when Will came in and saved Tessa i thought for sure he would be my fave knowing how i love Jace and all. But then Jem came into the picture and that changed i was no longer sure. And come to find out i fell for Jem completely and i wanted Jem with Tessa but then there was times i would still root for Will. Then i thought for sure i knew i wanted it to be Jem. And at ever moment i was like please don't die. but then somewhere a long in there i still realized i was some what pulling for Will i felt as if i were Tessa and i understood why she loved them both. How could you choose?! I always thought one should know and if they has to think who to choose they didnt love them but then in this book i realized this was not always the case. So the ending was so fitting for there love for they all truly loved the others even tho they all had passed they had there lifes long and happy. I cried like a baby when Will dyed. For me that was bittersweet cause he got a happy life with Tessa who he loved and what he wanted but when Jem was there playing the music as he passed it was to much i felt like i was losing my best friend. It hurt me to read that they all passed yet Tessa remand. How could one live through that. If it was possible idk if i could.But in the end a cure was found and Jem lived it was nice to see they where not alone in the end.But i know maybe some ppl thought that the ending might have been cheap since she was with both them in the end but i think it was fitting.
But i had come to love all the characters so reading some what about there end (tho it was not in great detail but they where older and had happy lifes) was hard for me because i did not want to let go. and i think that is part the reason i took longer to read this book i didn't want it to end. I loved that the family tree in the book but i wish it would have had the fairchilds,wayland and others in it. And i was so happy when Sophie become a shadowhunter and married Gideon! And Cecily and Gabriel <3 lol and now when know the story behide Isabelle's necklace. And maybe i just never noticed till now but Alec and Isabelle have Gideon and Sophie (sophia) as there middle names. lol Anyway I love the books and not sure if i can wait till next year for TMI 6th book. Anyway I gave this book a 5 star rating and i did love this book but however there was some stuff i didn't like about it as much.

Like i didn't like that she slept with Will like that after they thought Jem was passed i know they where both hurt and all but it just seemed a bit to far even if they thought they where about to die i mean Jem could had died any moment in the book but they didn't sleep together.

I was not that big of a fan that happened with Gabriel and Gideon father and sister i wish there sister would have not tried to blame the others. I didn't like that there father turned into a worm. I can see he got demon pox from sleeping around with demons and all but did it have to be a worm the turned into? seemed a little much. But maybe that was me.

also i felt like in all the books that Cassandra seem the push the proper thing a bit to much and to hard. I know that time was more proper and i love that but i felt at times it was a bit to much.

and also in this book i thought there was a few little lose ends and things but they where not that big of issues so I'm okay with that and wont go into detail.

I could write so much more but i wont I'll leave you with this I love these books. :) ...more

Oh. My. Gracious.

This book was my favorite of the Infernal Devices - and I love the other two. C.Clare has created fantastic characters that will stay with me for a long time. I won't give away any spoilers, but I will say that I was in tears at the end of this book. It was heart-wrenching and warming all at the same time. I couldn't have asked for a better ending - and I'm SO glad that Clare decided to end it the way she did. Things could have gone south very easily - I was wondering how she w ...more

OK. Now that the book has almost sunk in, I'm ready for the emotional (for me anyway) review!

So, to end, I loved being part of the series and trying to work out the answers to some of the questions. It was a joy to read about such amazing characters that i will never stop loving. CP2 officially made the series my favourite and I am glad it is. This book was incredible and at some points, you just wanted to reach into the story give the characters a well needed hug.

TID had so much to offer and so many emotions came along with it. It made me cry like no series has ever done and I will never regret taking off into the world where i could never really choose Jem over Will or Jem over Will. They will always have an equal part of my heart. I am really sad to think that there will not be another TID book. This is probably the saddest I've felt finishing a series.

I will dearly miss William, Tessa, James, Cecily, Gabriel, Gideon, Charlotte, Jessamine, Henry, Sophie, Cyril and Even Bridget. Oh I forgot Little Buford (ha ha). ...more
