I finished this with angry rumbles- *stupid never ending love triangle, it ruined the book for me. Ok ruined is too harsh, it had me huffing a lot ! It just was ridiculous in my opinion. I love this series, or I did till this over the top tri/lust/love-drama. The first 1/2 of this long book was a drama-fest of angst. Then finally the second half brought some serious action. *There was some serious action going on that keep me up. Then back to the self sacrificing heartache again. ARGUH ! Then the ending, well it just made everything so shiny and good, after all the suffering.

It's an ending for everyone, yet for no one, which has left me with mixed feelings.
The characters and their relationships--especially the romance and bromance--are some of my favorites out of any book/series that I have read (much more so than TMI).
I was able to feel the pain and the happiness of the characters--especially Tessa, Will, Jem, Magnus, even Jessamine. SO MANY ROLLER-COASTER EMOTIONS.
Of course my emotions were all over the place as I read...you know...with tears, laughing out loud (both giddily and maniacally), throwing the book, hugging the book...all which I do often when reading and all which are reasons I prefer to read in solitude.
As much as I'm sure I would have enjoyed a main focus on our Jem-Tessa-Will triangle because I love those three, I love them so much, Clare wove in other complications--Mortmain, self-awareness, corruption in the Clave, Jem's illness, etc--to pull us along in frustration, allowing us to be more conscious of the character development and each one's sense of self in the world in which they live.
I Love Henry Branwell.
Just. Aaahhh. Sad it's over, but content.
All things must end, right? (Well, not really..that's where fanfic comes into play)
Cassandra Clare, TMI should have been left at CoG. I hope CoLS ends well. really really. But I shan't get into that here....

This is like the 4th time I’ve read this book so it’s the 4th time it’s ripped my heart out and stomped on it - in the best way possible. I think about this series like once a week honestly. No shame.

Honestly, first time I was rooting for all the people in a love triangle
Really liked this series. Much more than TMI. Basically because of the characters in these books.
However, I am not sure if I would have loved (and understood) the whole world of if I hadn't read TMI before this
