Wonderful Series Conclusion

***SPOILER FREE IF YOU'VE READ THE SERIES***
I was so afraid to start reading this book. Truth be told, The Infernal Devices is my favorite of the two series, although I still hold a lot of love for The Mortal Instruments. Something about the Victorian setting or Tessa, who I can relate to more than Clary, grabbed me from the first word. The first thing you should know is that you will have many, many questions answered in this book. Some of those questions carry over to TMI and then some bounce back again and won't be entirely answered until City of Heavenly Fire is released. (Those questions aren't integral to the story, so you can still read one series without having to read the other.) There was intense action and suspense, and I was so pleased at how much the women in this book stepped up and fought, both physically and emotionally. There were so many difficult situations and decisions that I'm not exactly sure how it all fit in to one final book, but it did, and brilliantly so. There were some incredibly touching scenes involving Magnus, who I felt like we got to know a lot better in this book. I loved the romances of some the side characters combined with the dry sense of humor that has defined this series. I laughed out loud just as many times as I reached for the tissue.
There will be some that won't be happy with the ending. The epilogue, which Clare already revealed pre-publication begins in 2008, seems to take place after the events of City of Heavenly Fire are resolved. I found that interesting since, of course, that book won't be released until 2014. The way the two series puzzle piece together is fascinating and it's almost as if we got an ending to both series, but without really knowing what happens. It was very cleverly done. Am I happy with the ending? Yes, I am. So many questions were answered and I felt that, as a reader, I got to see everyone's ending, for better or for worse. There were certainly parts that were profoundly sad, but I found it to be more of a deeply poignant sadness rather than a 'WHY, GOD, WHY??' type of sadness, if that makes sense. In any event, I am sad to say goodbye to the London Institute and I didn't realize how attached I had become to everyone until I read the very last page.

Clare does it again!

Cassandra Clare has done it again. Clockwork Prince was absolutely stunning. It is far superior to the other books in the trilogy in almost every respect. I'd even say it's my favorite Cassandra Clare book so far.
Be warned, the family tree shows how the love triangle will be resolved. So if you don't want to know until the end, DON'T LOOK AT THE FAMILY TREE!!
As Tessa prepares for her wedding to Jem, darkness is closing in on the Shadowhunters of London. With the coming of demons linked to the Magister, his plans for the automaton army are almost complete. But he needs one last thing--Tessa. Tessa knows that the Magister is after her, but doesn't know how, when, or what can be done to stop him. Charlotte is set on finding the Magister first, and Jem and Will would do anything to keep Tessa safe.
When the Magister has all the drugs that Jem has to have to survive, Will feels it's his responsibility to get more drugs for Jem and to save Tessa from the danger coming after her. But Tessa learns her true origin and that she is capable of saving herself. The character progression of Tessa was phenomenal. I really enjoyed seeing the end of her character arc. She's such a relatable character. Even though I sometimes didn't agree with her choices, I always knew why she did what she did.
The characters in the Infernal Devices trilogy are some of my favorite as far as character development goes. Clockwork Princess continued the character progression and showed an even deeper side of the characters that we didn't get the chance to see before. Clare has a gift with writing strong characters that you connect with. No matter how minor, you feel like you personally know every character mentioned. The plot has so many unexpected twists and turns that had me guessing and on the edge of my seat until the very last second. I devoured this book in mere hours due to the excellent pacing, without a single dull moment.
After Clockwork Prince, I honestly had no idea how the trilogy would end. Whatever happened would be devastating to at least one character I love. There was no way this book could have a completely happy ending. But the ending was perfect, though bittersweet. It showed the importance of life, friendship, and love. Clockwork Princess is truly an amazing read.
