For having started this book In 2022 and then only reading 200 pages to finish it within a week seems so strange. This book was so much fun, I’m quite excited to get to other Shadowhunter books that I’ve forbidden myself from reading until I finished this. The plot was truly plotting so hard if only I had read the next chapter back In 2022 because this book truly picked up and never slowed down. 

I’ve heard so many good things about the infernal devices from my friends but I think the eldest curses will have to be my next books because I’ve waited long enough for them I think.

A beautiful, BEAUTIFUL ending to this series!!! I laughed, cried, was on the edge of my seat, and every other emotion possible! So many memorable and well-written moments. I’m so sad it’s over, but I will definitely be reading the rest of Clare’s books in the Shadow world!!

I have no words. I sobbed through the end. I aspire to write like Cassandra. The ending is my favorite. I don’t know what else to say. Incredible book—the perfect ending to this perfect series.

There is a sex scene toward the 3/4 mark. I wouldn’t say it’s graphic, but it does include a lot of kissing and vague descriptions of the act.

I'll be honest it was stubbornness that got me this far in the series. I can see why this series is popular though personally I thought it was alright. Cassandra Clare is a talented writer.

I thought this book was alright and I enjoyed parts of it. The last 200ish pages were better than the beginning of the book. I felt this book had a good balance between fantasy and romance.

A more entertaining reread than the previous book and a good conclusion to the series.
