This was the most perfect ending for this trilogy, I think. I was kind of afraid of finishing it because I didn't know what to expect! The Infernal Devices is definitely one of my favorite YA fantasy series because it's original, different, and clever. I don't know how Cassandra Clare does it! She is an amazing author and I am ready for the next Shadowhunter series. 

I was very immersed in the story line, the characters, the events taking place. I loved the character development (one of my favorite things in literature). From Clockwork Angel to Clockwork Princess, so much happens and it is evident that it affects them, they learn so much and it's just beautiful.

Picking this book up, I knew there would be tear shed. It's the finale of a fantastic series with these characters I feel I got to know in such a short amount of time since I read the first book. I went from shock, to laughing at the charm and wit of Will Herondale, to crying because I felt his pain.

I found myself crying because of this book a lot and I don't usually cry when I read books (i.e. Mockingjay . . . I know, but trust me, I have a heart). I think it's Cassie's writing, to be honest. She is insanely talented and creative and the last book I remember crying at was City of Lost Souls.
On the ending: (view spoiler)

5 out of 5 stars because this is probably my favorite finale to a book series so far.
