Narrated by Grant Cartwright and Eloise Oxer
Unabridged
I felt this was definitely epic in proportions and so much happened but I did feel a lesser connection to what was happening and found myself being not as compelled to pick it up. I think it may have been because I blended read the first few books and appreciated taking the words in as I listened, but just listening this time round (and the 5th book) felt too overwhelming for the amount of plot development that evolved.
That being said, I was still super invested and when events were unfolding in the demon realms my heart felt like it was in my throat.
Simon did the damn thing and I've never felt myself clench in anticipation and worry so much whilst reading something!
The last 20% really took off and despite me not feeling really secured in how everything had got to the point, I was still here for the ride.
A fantastic journey this has been, finally picking up The Mortal Instruments over these last couple months! Onto the next series set in the world of the Shadowhunters, relatively soon, I hope!

- i have so many thoughts and emotions rn
- 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
- 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...
