I truly am not a huge fan of these books. As I mentioned in my first review, City of Bones, I bumped the series up on TBR because of all the hype surrounding the books.
This book was meant to be the third and last book of the series. Although I'm not a fan I do want to say that Cassandra Clare did a good job of weaving in all the loose ends nicely. There were some things about the book that annoyed me and I will list them but they weren't bad enough to score this one a one.
As I've mentioned before I'm not wow'ed by the writing. It's ok. In this book as in the other two there were reminders of other books that I shall not name since I've already named THE book.
In the last book we are introduced to the youngest Lightwood, Max. He's about ten. In the book he is killed and in the oddest of ways. His killing really didn't make sense and I couldn't understand why the author would choose to kill him of all people. Clary is still her whiny self. Jace is still his repugnant self. Clary now wants to get more serious with Jace and Jace is now saying no they should just be brother and sister...wackadoo...
Besides that there were some more off the wall things plugged into this book that I found... well... off the wall. For example, in the middle of a fighting scene Alec stops to yell at Magnus because he wants to know...wait for it... wait for it... wait for it... WHY HE HASN'T ANSWERED HIS CALLS.
What the heck?
In the middle of a battle of all things to stop and talk about!...It was just ridiculous. I also found Clary's reaction to her mother odd after she had tried so hard to revive her. The only other thing I didn't really like was the lack of a connection with some characters. A lot of these characters were supposed to feeling sadness and a whole lot of other emotions and I just didn't get that from them.
I'm on to the next book and I will tell you this: Simon is ALREADY annoying me.
Well, I'm glad that played out the way it did. I think this one was the best so far in the series.
Though, I probably could have done without the “incestuous” scenes.
Loved it... after all it's [a:Cassandra Clare 150038 Cassandra Clare https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1270502031p2/150038.jpg] she has made an awesome world..
i think it's hilarious that valentine summoned raziel to kill all nephilim but ended up getting killed by him
This is probably once of the first series where the ending didn't disappoint me, even though this isn't really the ending. XD
So I'm finally done withy he original trilogy. This was definitely the best book of the three.
It's definitely not a perfect saga nor is it close, but I did ended up enjoying it most of the time while I was reading, and that deserves recognition.
Proper review to come.
Read previous reviews and or my blog. Since I read all of them in a week, it all blurs in my head.
Okay now the book was really good but there can be some improvements.
I really didn't like Simon's character that much,
And then there's Clary, she acts as if everything is about Simon. Even though she knew Jace was the one who saved Simon, how could she believe when someone she just met that jace bought Simon to Alicante and thrown him in the prison.
Sebastian's character was such a surprise.
Penutup seri bagi trilogi pertama. Karena seri ini ternyata sambutan pembaca luar biasa jadi Cassie akan membuat trilogi kedua.
Por ahora es mi favorito y por fin me ha parecido super interesante. Además de que no podía dejar de leerlo jsjjs
