This series was so fun to read! I absolutely love Tessa, Will & Jem! And so many of the other characters. I love how this book gave you a ton of closure too.. Most books might give you one more chapter after the final battle but this one gives you lots of extras and I love that.

10:47 pm edits: so like I know I already wrote a review but I just had to add that this book really had me deep. This book had me question grief. I’ve never experience such grief as describe in this book, but it make me kind off scared for the future: when everyone grows old. It’s scary... DAMN WHY IS THIS BOOK MAKING ME SO EMOTIONAL.

notes: I read this when I was bombarded with summative a and exams coming up, that’s why it took so long. Haiz still have 2 more weeks of summative before entering Christmas Holliday. Can’t wait for the hollidays.

okay so like... I wanted to give this a four stars. I mean not want. But I felt like deep down it’s a four star for me. But I just can’t, I need to give this a 5 stars.

I just love the god damn characters so much.

To be honest, my decrease of enjoyment is due to my inability to have self control and not spoil things for myself. But that’s alright. I learned my lesson, hopefully.

Honestly at times, Tessa is annoying, especially when she became Mortmain’s dad and like wow that was a disaster. But there are also time she’s a legit angel like literally, ahem the ending battle. Wow. Spectacle. Like that legit blew my mind. I could just imagine it so clearly in my head.

But not going to lie to you, there were some parts that seem to drag for me.

I was also quite disappointed in Gabriel and Cecily love life, like there relationship is so dang cute. But it isn’t as developed as I thought it would be.

The fighting scene are amazing, but I don’t know why, but it felt less intense if you understand. Like the last battle, although it’s absolutely spectacular, but the events leading up to it just seem like they kept losing and it felt so damn sad, and the battle lost my interest because I’m here just mentally preparing myself for flood of tears. But like seriously, the battle seem to end so fast. I was expecting something grand with million of shadowhunter, okay too exaggerated. But you get my point.

Also can we talk about Jem and Will? They are the most precious beans on this entire planet! Yes love that Herondale linage. So off topic but at the end when Jem said something about having a story about another Herondale, Lightwood, and Fairchild. It warms my heart. Like this shadowhunter universe has become my everything, even if sometimes the character are stupidly annoying. But I still love this world so damn much, to every single lady bit of it.

Okay back to the topic of Will and Jem. Need a damn edit of their friendship. I love this! Love their friendship! Love everything about them! When Will and Jem said there goodbyes in the living room, I felt myself crying but my cousin was in my room so had to hide my face with my book. In this moment, was the first time I realized I could pretty cry.
