I wouldn’t say that there are a lot of things that surprised me in this book, but nevertheless it is written in a way, that I just need to know what happens next. Definitely reading the next book when it comes out.

 I have a mixed feelings about this one. I guess, that I just feel a bit tired of this series. Well, the last book was especially long. I felt as if I was done with this characters in the middle of the story, but they still had so many things to do and I was not just here for that.

Overall there was so much drama in the series, but very little of it felt like it had real impact. All characters wished to be good characters so strongly, so any conflict just felt flat. Especially, I couldn't understand the need for secrets in the friend group. In regards to that, it was not so believable to me, that the adults, that were in the heart of things in the Infernal Devices would just stand by when all of this was going on.

Another thing that was quite weird is some of the attitude to certain things. In the Mortal Instruments some characters were gay and it was such a big no-no with shadowhunters. But here we are in last hours, just one hundred years prior and we have 5 openly gay characters and almost everyone is super okay with that. This feels like a general plothole for the timeline.

I've seen couple of reviews with disagreement about certain character death and I agree. That character was done dirty. Their death was just skipped over for the plot and it really felt like nobody cared so why should I?

Now I see, that I mostly concentrated in the negative things. It wasn't all that bad, and there were some really nice moments. I have no regrets reading this series.

 That ending was the most infuriating thing ever. I am fuming!
I forgot about the ridiculus barriers Cassandra Clare puts between the characters.
SO good that I started reading this series when the final book was already out because otherwise it would've been were unhealthy for me.
