Demmy –
I think it’s fair to say we readers have been eagerly awaiting the conclusion of The Mortal Instruments for A LONG TIME. Some of us are eager to find out what happens with Jace and Clary because we love the relationship-type stuff in these books, some of us are awaiting the conclusion to this pretty epic series to find out what happens to the Shadowhunters, the evil Sebastian and the Shadowhunter world; some of us just love Simon. But what we all have in common is that we are desperate not to be disappointed.
If you, like me, dreaded this book being a flop because you’ve had your ups and downs with Cassandra Clare along the way then you SHOULD be pleasantly surprised – there’s tons of action and lots of questions answered along the way to keep you entertained. A problem I had with this series was that, as much as the concept was fantastic and the characters super likeable, I just kept losing interest because everything was so dragged out. This final book suffered much less from this, especially considering how much longer it was!
To refresh your memory, Sebastian (Clary’s evil brother) has the Infernal Cup. Remember that thing that can essentially create an army of Shadowhunters turned Demons to do his bidding? And that’s precisely what he does. I will say this for Clare, she often does surprise me, and she isn’t afraid to kill off a key character or too so that kept it interesting.
My favourite part of this final read? The characters really grow for me in this instalment. Clary becomes someone I could barely compare to the initial three books, Sebastian I couldn’t decide if I loved, felt sorry for or hated and surprisingly, I felt the same about Jace! I love a book that makes me think and question my own morals and thoughts on certain situations so I really enjoyed this.
My only gripe? I do love Cassandra Clare. I think she’s a fantastic writer with original, exciting ideas. I sometimes just felt like her delivery wasn’t exciting enough to match the great concepts she had. This I picked up mostly from quite a few long, dull paragraphs some of us affectionately call information-dumps. I just couldn’t see why she didn’t tie these bits of information nicely into the story and they just hung there uncomfortably for me.
Ultimately, I think this was a good, strong finish to an (overall) great series. It can’t be said that it hasn’t been an epic journey full of laughs and lots of interesting ideas; I genuinely can’t wait to see what Clare has next (check out those intriguing Epilogues!).
