City of Heavenly Fire(by Cassandra Clare)

9/10

Okay so to start this review I will say BY THE ANGEL!!!!!!!!!



    
!!!Malec!!!

 

In this dazzling and long-awaited conclusion to the acclaimed Mortal Instruments series, Clary and her friends fight the greatest evil they have ever faced: Clary's own brother.

Sebastian Morgenstern is on the move, systematically turning Shadowhunter against Shadowhunter. Bearing the Infernal Cup, he transforms Shadowhunters into creatures out of nightmare, tearing apart families and lovers as the ranks of his Endarkened army swell.

The embattled Shadowhunters withdraw to Idris - but not even the famed demon towers of Alicante can keep Sebastian at bay. And with the Nephilim trapped in Idris, who will guard the world against demons?

When one of the greatest betrayals the Nephilim have ever known is revealed, Clary, Jace, Isabelle, Simon, and Alec must flee - even if their journey takes them deep into the demon realms, where no Shadowhunter has set foot before, and from which no human being has ever returned...

Love will be sacrificed and lives lost in the terrible battle for the fate of the word in the thrilling final installment of the classic urban fantasy series The Mortal Instruments!



I am so sorry for putting this review aside for over a month but I just could not get around to writing this review! Let alone organize my thoughts on this finale!!!
This whole series was incredible! I loved it so much and cried when I finished this book out of sorrow for it's end. It was magical, griping, stressful, romantic, bang-your-head-on-the-wall good!!!
All greatness for this series aside though, there where a few things I did not like in the final book.
For one, I think that we where far too hyped up, expecting a lot more soul crushing deaths, nail biting battles and tear jerking moments. But instead we where met with utter disappointment. Now I hate to say that I had hoped for more characters to die but alas, I did. I know, I know kill me now. But I was so hyped and absolutely dreading the outcome of this book, for over a year, as to when I finally read all the way through to it's pretty bow ending I was disappointed.
It wasn't even just that though. I had been dying for a Jace and Tessa moment. Absolutely dying! But of course I don't get one!
But I have to admit, asides from those two-most probable minor-details I loved this book. It kept me engaged from start to finish and I cannot wait to get my hands on Cassie's next works!!!
