It felt like a bit more of an ending than City of Glass. I think it helps to think of the first three books in this series as the trilogy and the second set of three books as a seauel trilogy. I was sad that this was the end of the series and didn't fully realize until halfway through the book. As expected of the final book of a series, lots of loose ends/unfinished stories were tied up. A good ending to the series - finished up the plot points that needed to be wrapped up. I need to see if the characters were this self-aware in the previous book, because with a lot of the dialogue/interactions it really felt like a couple of them had gone through years of therapy between this book and the last. Really had its Spiderman: No Way Home moment. I had far too many moments trying to figure out where each familiar last name and name came from but eventually gave up.

I’m not sure why I waited so long to read the final book of this series because I loved it!! I laughed, I cried, and it was just an enjoyable reading experience all around!

City of Heavenly Fire 
8.5/10

- i have so many thoughts and emotions rn

- SIMON GIVING UP HIS MEMORIES BROKE MY DAMN HEART

- unpopular opinion: sebastian/johnathon did not deserve redemption, though it was nice to see what could've been.

- there are so many good quotes goddamn
- the best finale to a series like this
- i loved reading this series in full and now it has a special place in my heart <3
- malec <3333
- chapter 23 broke me fr

- THE SHOCK I WENT THROUGH WHEN JACE "GAVE UP" CLARY TO SEBASTIAN AND THEN CLARY STABBED SEBASTIAN WITH IT AND IT WAS HEAVENLY FIRE. I SCREAMED

- alec being so annoyed with all the straight couples is so relatable
- speaking of relatable, i relate to alec so much. i'm gay, i want people to be proud of me, and i feel as if i'm not good enough.
- i'll definitely take a break from this universe but i will come back for the rest
- i did not care for Emma and Julian... just sayin
- anyways i'm probably going to be in a book slump for a while... 

- i hope simon becomes a shadowhunter.

Beautiful wrap up to the series. Bring tissues for both happy and sad tears. A thrilling last installment to this series and I will greatly miss all the characters.
