I haven't been reading Cassandra Clare's book in order but with this, I have now read the first book of each of her series; TMI, TDA, & TID. This one has been the only one I've remotely liked besides City of Bones but even then, that one was meh. Only thing I hate about Clare's writing is that she drags out the big battles at the end of her book way too long. As in she sets them up to be this grand overture yet they always seem like they could end in less than 5 minutes flat. 

Will say I know that
Tessa ends up with Will, writing makes that obvious enough
but I prefer her relationship w/ Jem. Really just one of those love triangles the author could've just made a polyamorous relationship if they weren't a coward. Then again with how Will acts, it'd probably be unhealthy.
