The conclusion to the best selling series is finally here!
The City of Heavenly Fire was much better than I expected. After the last two books, which I did not particularly enjoy, I was beginning to dread having to read this one. But Cassandra Clare surprised me and I am glad to have read the entire series. The book ended on a high note, with action and adventure till the very last chapter. I felt myself on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened next and whether or not Clary and her friends could defeat Sebastian. The City of Heavenly Fire tied up most loose ends. After all the cliff hangers and anguish of who would be with whom, this book had the perfect conclusion to the well written series. As I’ve said before anyone who enjoyed the Twilight series, Harry Potter books, and perhaps the elements of The Hunger Games, would enjoy the Mortal Instruments story. Therefore, this final Mortal Instruments book deserves 4.5 out of 5 stars because the story was well written and held the reader’s attention; although I was still annoyed with the jumping around points of perspective. I will be sad to say good-bye to these characters, but excited for Clare’s new series coming out in the fall of 2015 which appears to be about the Blackthorn children.
