I felt in love with the first two books and I had high hopes about the end of this book...
But honestly, it was very disappointing.
Specially the Epilogue.
What is Tessa thinking that she is doing?
Why does she can't choose one person without loving both?

Cassandra Clare is one of my favorite authors, yet she disappoints me in this very last book.
Never mind, I'll forget it.
I hope that she would not disappoint me in her Dark Artifices series.. ...more

When I started this trilogy, I thought I was going to love it inmediately. Then I read the first book, didn't love it, and dreaded reading the rest of the books and feeling a big fat disappointment at both The Infernal Devices and me for being part of that small percentage of people that do not like the series.
In the end, and after many days of confusion, an unstoppable stream of tears and some seriously heated rants over ~~Tessa~~ the characters' romantic dramas, I finally finished the whole thing When I started this trilogy, I thought I was going to love it inmediately. Then I read the first book, didn't love it, and dreaded reading the rest of the books and feeling a big fat disappointment at both The Infernal Devices and me for being part of that small percentage of people that do not like the series.
In the end, and after many days of confusion, an unstoppable stream of tears and some seriously heated rants over ~~Tessa~~ the characters' romantic dramas, I finally finished the whole thing, to my surprise, with a happy, warm fuzzy feeling in my chest.

Is this my favourite series yet? Definitely not. Even this book, despite its final rating, made me go through all kinds of emotions 鈥攏ot all of them good ones鈥�, but its characters stole my heart so effortlessly and made me care for them so much to the point where I would cry more than three times on the same day, that it simply did not feel right to rate it any lower than five stars.

It took me longer that I expected to finish Clockwork Princess, and I know exactly why: although I was really attached to the characters, I couldn't always understand why they acted the way the did, or how it was possible for there to be such miscommunication among them when they were supposed to be so close. I questioned their behaviour many times throughout the course of the story, tried even harder to wonder what I would do if I were in their shoes, and because of that, I came to empathise with them at last. Their humanity, I think, was what drew me to them the most. The way Tessa, Will and Jem all loved and cared for each other was strange yet strong, certain and so very passionate. Isn't love supposed to be just that? So I thought, maybe I don't need to understand. Love was there, no doubt, and it made them happy and brave and gave them a reason to want to keep on living. I know it gave me a reason to want to root for them, whether I understood them or not.

The ending gave me more that I could have asked for, it tore me apart as well, and for that, and for everything this series meant to me, I will always be thankful that I read these books. I can't wait to see what else Cassie has in store for the rest of the cast, since the side characters, which I know will appear again later in the following books, were my absolute favourites.

Bottom line: James Carstairs, you're the light of my life.

I cannot believe this Trilogy is now over! Oh how much I loved it.. This will forever be my favorite series.. This book was the cherry on top! A perfect end to a perfect Trilogy!! 鉂わ笍

There is not one thing I disliked, the book was filled with twists and turns.. The moment you feel you have all the pieces of the puzzle and everything figured out, the author slaps you in the face with a new twist.. I am spellbound!!

I was laughing when the characters were laughing, I was grieving when they were gri ...more

I just cannot explain what this story does to me without sounding a little crazy but I'm going to try:

When I was 13 I read City of Bones and everything changed in my life for the better, the truth is that I finally found my favorite author and my favorite series, then maybe a year later i read Clockwork Angel and my heart never felt more in love of a fictional character and by the time I read this book I was sobbing in my bed while I hugged my laptop just saying "I love you all so much".

This is ...more

Heartbreakingly beautiful conclusion to the trilogy. The prose was lyrical and poetic and made for an extremely satisfying story of loss and love. Love between family-blood and found; love between soulmates.

I set out on this journey not expecting to be wowed by a YA romance but the powerful writing was worth the long build-up. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Daniel Sharman is a great narrator. ...more
