So yes, I'm biased 'cause this series has been with me for 10 years so I will probably give a great rating to all its books, however this one deserves it. I think Clare is better at writing period pieces more than contemporary (or maybe I love period fantasy more than urban). The final installement of The Last Hours is action packed, romance packed and drama packed and not lacking in any department. And although I can't in good faith be aligned with certain character deaths (I'm not forgiving you Cassie Clare, it's the third time you break me this way) I have to admit she knows how to write a great book. So, 5/5 especially for the epilogue, I love (mostly) happy endings.

This was a great finale! I laughed, cried, was stressed. The poor Merry Thieves were put through so much in this series! I do think that parts near the beginning could have been trimmed or cut out - this book dragged through the beginning and was longer than it needed to be. But I did enjoy as we got farther into the book and the ending was brilliant.

I overall really enjoyed this book! Definitely has the typical Cassie style, though I will say this book was particularly romance-focused (which isn’t a bad thing for me!). I love the romance—particularly all the pairings in this story—but I would have liked to see more demon battles.

I also found the end a little predictable, with James stabbing himself with Cortana and Cordelia healing him immediately after. Because of that, I didn’t really feel the magnitude of tension that I would have expected to feel for a final battle.

Overall though, I think Cassie did a great job developing some of the couples that I was DYING to get more content of (Thomas and Alastair my beloveds, plus Anna and Ari). I also think Grace’s story was handled well—I think the reactions to the truth of her and James’ “relationship” were realistic for each character. God I just love these characters so much, Cassie has such a way of making us fall in love with her characters.
