I am going to try to do this with as few spoilers as possible, so as not to spoil anyone who may not have read it yet. I will not be diving into any major plot points or discussing any major events (CHAPTER 24 THOUGH). However, I will be discussing my feelings about this book as a whole, the characters, and how I thought this did as a conclusion to this series.
I would like to start this off by saying that after reading City of Fallen Angels when it first came out, which would have been back in 2011, I wasn't entirely sure that I would continue on with the story. I was satisfied with the end of City of Glass, and Fallen Angels just seemed to be opening a whole new can of worms, and at the time, I didn't think it was necessary. However, after seeing what so many people were saying about City of Lost Souls, I had to see what all of the fuss was about. I am so glad that I did continue with the series because this last book was absolutely amazing.
Cassandra Clare proved once again that she has an amazing talent for writing conclusions to her series. This book was a masterpiece, and I loved everything that happened within its pages. I adored the over all plot, I adored the characters and how much we got to see them grow, and I enjoyed the twists and turns that this book fed to me. I laughed until the point of tears (pg. 532 is a particular favorite), cried from general happiness (Brother Zachariah, enough said), and found myself in tears of sadness (Chapter 24, just... no.). I am so happy with this book, both on its own and as the final instalment of The Mortal Instruments.
Plus, the cover and the poster on the back are absolutely stunning.
STAR RATING: 5/5
