I honestly considered rating this book in crying face and broken heart emojis because that is how this book shattered me and I will never recover. Everything was tied up so perfectly in this book, the plot reached a perfect climax and the action was so good. As always, I love Magnus Bane!! I love his character and that we get him throughout this universe. But the character development in this book!!! I loved how Will finally accepted himself, how Tessa finally admitted certain things to herself and how Jem realized that he would do anything for the two people he loves most in the world.
Mortmain is a bloody genius of a villain, the way he kept throwing things at these characters was insane!! I didn't see most of the plot twists coming and gaaaaah, it had me feral! The truth about Tessa, the extent she was able to push her power! Absolutely amazing. I adored all the side characters in this one! I loved that Henry's inventions finally proved to be useful (or in usable condition) and how much of a difference it made when it was needed!
It was not only Mortmain who I absolutely despised in this book, Josiah Wayland - the current Consul - really grated my last nerves and I absolutely love Charlotte for taking all he put her through in stride. There were parts of this book that I'll never recover from, I love all these characters so much and dealing with the fallout of the battle is going to weigh on me for a long time. And just when I thought the story was healing me? Well, then there was the epilogue. And it ripped me to shreds. This trilogy is definitely one that is going to stay with me forever!
