Re-read Review!

All this time spent so invested in The Mortal Instruments series, I'd almost forgotten how amazing this series is. Well, this reread reminded me!

This book made me want to happy cry, sad cry, nostalgic cry and just cry cry. I don't think I felt this many emotions the first time I read it. But something I've noticed with books that are fast paced and in which the characters are in mortal danger, during the first read, you're so worried out of you mind that the authir is going to kill a really important character or all characters, that you can't seem to stop and just... feel the emotions.

But when you re-read that book, you already know what's gonna happen so you can take your time with the scenes that are really cute or sweet or heartwrentching and savour them.

This was a beautiful book with beautiful characters and writing and story and everything else. I can definitely see myself reading it atleast a few more times...

The second book in this series is the best one. Now I'm venturing into the Cassandra Clare books I haven't read yet. This was the last that I have but like FOREVER ago.

Okay....so imagine popcorn....but then it has you choked up the entire second half of the book.

Good ending.
Magnus Bane is my favorite fairy godmother.

First of all, I love The Infernal Devices! Cassie Clare knows how to tell an amazing story and keep her fans happy! I was pleasantly pleased how everything came full circle in this epic conclusion to a great series....until the end when she eventually ends up with Jem!

The Jem vs. Will battle that Tessa goes through is sure to give fans a rise and definitely pick sides! I was definitely rooting for Will. He's more attractive, loyal, funny, and all around great. Jem is just as wonderful, but his condition makes him seem like a wimp; everyone ends up being distracted by whether Jem is okay...including Tessa.

I loved loved loved what we learned about Tessa's clockwork angel! That was a wonderful revelation, and Clare does such a great job at catching us off guard! I did not anticipate that!

I did not like that Jem becomes a Silent Brother. (Sorry...had to spoil that.) It felt like Clare was grabbing at straws to keep Jem alive when he probably should have died. The parabatai bond was broken, everyone mourns his death, just keep him dead! That seems terrible to say, but it's my gut feeling. That being said...I was not pleased at the end when they meet on Blackfriars Bridge. Reminiscent of the series? Yes. Romantic and sweet? Yes. How I wanted the series to end? No. The only part of the Epilogue I liked was Tessa thinking back on her wonderful life with Will. I'm just SUCH a huge fan of will! That was very emotional for me and pulled at my heart strings a bit.

Overall, Clare aims to please and does so in such a great way! Even though the series is over, I was so happy to experience the epic conclusion to one of Clare's most wonderful series! Awesome job, Cassie!!!
