Sebastian Morgenstern, Clary’s brother, is wreaking havoc on the world again, turning shadow hunters against each other. He has found a way to turn shadow hunters into a nightmarish creature, and he uses these newly made creatures to create an army. Of course Clary and Jace must help the other shadow hunters to stop him but like all things in their life, it isn’t without sacrifice.This is the final book in what's been a very long series. I do agree it should have stopped sooner but that doesn't make me love it any less. Although long and repetitive I have not read anything quite unique. I give this series as a whole 4.5 stars. I will say if you are interested in this series be prepared for a long run, it took me all summer and that was reading almost all of the time.

Now that the Mortal War is over and Clary is back in New York, she is training to be a Shadowhunter and how to use her unique powers. There is now peace between Downworlders and Shadowhunters and Clary’s mother is finally going to marry Luke! Even Clary and Jace can finally start calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend! Everything is going well until someone starts mysteriously killing Shadowhunters and Jace starts pulling away from Clary. By now some people are a little tired of this story, it seems to be same old same old and I was like that too but I couldn't leave the characters just yet. If you like the characters in this series then why not just say what the heck and read this!

Clary has to go to the Glass City to save her mother but it becomes a lot more complicated when she finds out that Jace doesn’t want her to go to the city. He doesn't even want her near it. It is also illegal to enter the city without permission which she doesn't have. When she illegally enters the city she finds an ally named Sebastian who starts to help her learn more about her family and how to stop Valentine. Clary fights to save her mother and the rest of the world to find Valentine and it is definitely not easy. This series does feel like it keeps going, and going, repeating what feels kind of like the same story over again. I love the story and series as well as Cassandra Clare but I can see how some people would think it goes a little far.

Clary just wants to go back to her normal life and be done with the Shadow world but that’s kind of hard since her mother is in a magical coma. Things with her life has changed a lot since she started being able to see the shadow world and since she found out Jace is her brother. Ever since Jace and Clary found out that they're siblings Jace has been acting cold and crass towards Clary making her have an even harder time coping with everything that's going on in her life. She has Simon, and their relationship is growing but he doesn't understand as much as she wishes he could. I had a hard time putting this book down. It was a lot of non stop, what's going to happen next, kind of stuff. Definitely more exciting then the first book (not that I didn't love the first one). Many people have a problem with everything about Jace and Clary, I'd just like to say this. They didn't do anything 'gross' enough to call it incest. I also am of the belief it'd be grosser if they grew up as brother and sister, but they didn't. I'm not say that that makes incest okay I'm just saying it's not as disgusting as many reviewers make it out to be. I recommend this book to anyone who genuinely liked the first one.

Clary Fray thinks she’s just a normal girl but when she goes to a club with her best friend, Simon, she sees something no one else does. Nobody notices a fight that goes on but her and after that her life completely started to change. She continues to see these people and things that no one else does. When she meets Jace, a Shadowhunter, he helps her understand what is going on. Then her mom gets kidnapped and Clary’s forced into the Shadowhunter world at full force. To my surprise there are a lot of people who think this book is poorly written and boring. I guess being in high school doesn't qualify me to truly judge but I do have enough education and reading knowledge to know I disagree with this. I found this book intriguing and suspenseful. But what I do have to say that completely sucks, DO NOT listen to the audio version. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good fantasy story. Shadowhunters are a new twist added into the supernatural world of books :)
