I've actually finished it!!!! Took me actually 1 week to finish this because I loved it that much. The ending OH my gosh. This adventure is over can't believe this. I love this series and I just can't believe it over.
I hope this isn't the end. I really want to know what happens with Emma and Julian.

Me encanto pero me hizo sufrir demasiado empecemos porque personajes a los que les tenia cariño murieron (jordan y raphael) y a pesar q entiendo y era necesaria la muerte de Sebastián no puedo evitar quererlo su muerte me destrozó emocionalmente Y AAAAA EL SACRIFICIO DE SIMON

Some thoughts on this:
1. It started off really slow and boring and I found myself wondering what the point of it all was.
2. Clary is a total Mary Sue.
3. Books like this are the reason young girls have completely unrealistic concepts of love and become women who don't know a good thing when they see it, i.e. love isn't real when it becomes this all-consuming thing where you lose all sense of yourself apart from this other person you "love."
3. I don't think Clare knows much about writing about realistic romantic relationships. Simon and Isabelle felt forced the entire time.
4. I think it's great that she tries to portray gay relationships right alongside hetero ones, but I don't think she knows much about them. Magnus and Alec had zero chemistry and I am no closer to finding out what a 400 year old warlock sees in this kid in book 5 than I was in book 1. If you want a viable literary portrayal of a homosexual/homoerotic relationship that is sexy to both gay people and straight people go talk to Louis and Lestat.
5. What happened with Simon at the end was trite and selfish. I did kind of crack a wee smile over his band name though, even if I saw it coming a mile off.
6. I feel like we were supposed to care more about the dead people than we did.
7. So many of the big narrative plot devices and conflicts had all-too-easy resolutions.
8. Despite all of this it was super readable and fun. Not everything can be readable, mature, fun, well-written, and intelligent like Harry Potter, so just plain fun is fine by me.

It was an OK ending to the series. I'm glad I finished it, although at over 700 pages, this one was a CHORE to gt through.
Also, can we just discuss the fact that in ALL the things Jace brought on a trip to a DEMON WORLD, condoms were one of them? REALLY??!!??

I literally have no words to describe what happened in this book, how I felt about it, how I'm feeling about it right now, how I'll feel about it in the future and how I'd feel about it if I were a warlock (oh gosh, that would be amazing -Magnus team forever!) and I had an eternity to think about it.
AAAAAAHHHHHH I absolutely loved this book! My favourite book series. Read them, if you already haven't. That is all I'm going to say.
Deserves the 5/5 rating, an amazing end to the mortal instruments series, and had such a cute epilogue + funny moments that I loved reading every page!
