ΕRCHOMAI, SEBASTIAN HAD SAID.

I am coming.

Darkness returns to the Shadowhunter world. As their society falls apart around them, Clary, Jace, Simon and their friends must band together to fight the greatest evil the Nephilim have ever faced: Clary’s own brother. Nothing in the world can defeat him — must they journey to another world to find the chance? Lives will be lost, love sacrificed, and the whole world changed in the sixth and last installment of the Mortal Instruments series!

Join us as we venture into the end of one of the best series of our day!

My review:

You know a book is good when it is over 700 pages and you still didn't want it to end.

I didn't realize how much I missed these characters.

I was so scared to read this book, but it turned out almost perfect.

Clockwork Princess ended perfect so I should have known she would bring it.

Authors take note! This is how you end a series.

gaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ Well, it looks like they may have hit the nail on the head with that one. Seeing as how Sebastian is all in with the Seelie Queen and all. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 13 (view spoiler)[ the queen is not going to like that. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 13 (view spoiler)[ they should probably have specified what they want more. passage to the demon realm - SAFE passage, and maybe a way to return? Simon is right about the Fey being tricky, this is bound to be some kind of trap she is leading them into. (hide spoiler)]
