The last book of a series is usually the make-it or break-it point for one's overall opinion of the whole entire series. This last book made it for me! I finished the last 300 pages in one day! It had me wrapped up and invested in every single page of it. The epilogue left me in tears. I felt as if I had to come to know these characters so well. Cassandra Clare illustrated the ending so perfectly. She wrapped up all loose ends, and while giving the reader a sense of closure, also left them wanting more.(agonizingly so, I might add!) I wanted to keep following the characters on their journey! What started out as a slow starting series, finished strong. If you start the series with patience and an open mind, you will most definitely not be disappointed.
