The series finally comes to an end
Honestly, I am really happy that it ended. 6 books is more than enough dear Cassandra Clare, and thank you for making the ending so satisfying, although reading the last book itself can prove to be a little dreary sometimes.
Yes you heard me. I am kind of disappointed in this last book of The Mortal Instruments series. The first 3 books were awesome, but after the 4th, the story starts to feel a little bit draggy and there's so many people I can't remember all of them. Maybe I just have a bad memory and all but hey, still survived til the end ;) I'm not gonna give a full plot review though this time because I couldn't remember all the characters' names, but yes I am still going to discuss it and give spoilers. SO BEWARE.
There is a connection between the Infernal Devices series and this book. James Carstairs (or Jem) is actually Brother Zachariah. ALL THIS TIME, THAT HANDSOME LAD IS A SILENT BROTHER. And there is one part of the story where Jace's heavenly fire, the thing that is flowing in his veins and is keeping him alive, burned Brother Zach and changed him back to a normal human being. The handsome James Carstairs we knew and loved in the Infernal Devices series. In the end of this book, Jem is reunited with Tessa and they were seen together; however, it is not mentioned if they dated or married or anything.
Speaking of marriage,
Clary's mother and Luke got married at the end of the book! We all could've seen it coming and honestly, it's kind of obvious because there's this one time when Clary had a dream regarding Jocelyn and Luke's marriage. They even have another daughter in the dream.
Moving on...
Jace and Clary did end up together. Sebastian died, and at the brink of his death, his kind soul that was not taken by the devil or some sort actually get to talk for a few minutes, creating a touchy feely atmosphere. Raphael also died. Magnus and Alec got back together. Simon and Isabelle got together although along the way there's this story about their circle (Jace, Clary, Isabelle, Alec, Simon, Magnus, Luke, Jocelyn) got stuck in Edom (the demon dimension) because of Sebastian and Simon sacrificed his vampirism immortality and his memories so Magnus' father, the great demon Asmodeus, can take them all back to the human world. That is a lot to take in isn't it? I'm sorry. I couldn't express it in another way. So because of that, Simon lost his memory for sometime, but regained it again later. And tadaaa, happy ending.
I don't really remember all the drama and plot twists that happened along the way, cause that book is one hell of a long book. 800 pages my friends. 800!!
I'm just here to say that although the ending was not as good as I expected it would be, it is still a satisfying ending. It is a proper ending and I kind of feel bad that the series has come to an end. Sure I heard that Cassandra is working on another series, and the next book will be called Midnight Lady or something....but still, saying goodbye to the characters of the book is always kind of hard, especially when you've been with them and you have watched them grow. But then again, saying goodbye is the start of something new.
Good bye Mortal Instruments series
Yes, as you guys might have observed from my goodreads update, I have started reading another book. This time it's a book by Rainbow Rowell and it is called, Fangirl. I think I have an idea of how the story would go but hey, I just love diving into the world in the book sometimes. It's a nice getaway ;)
See you in my next post and thank you for reading!
Sincerely yours,
