THE INFERNAL DEVICES WILL NEVER STOP COMING
A net of shadows begins to tighten around the Shadowhunters of the London Institute. Mortmain plans to use his Infernal Devices, an army of pitiless automatons, to destroy the Shadowhunters. He needs only one last item to complete his plan: he needs Tessa Gray.
Charlotte Branwell, head of the London Institute, is desperate to find Mortmain before he strikes. But when Mortmain abducts Tessa, the boys who lay equal claim to her heart, Jem and Will, will do anything to save her. For though Tessa and Jem are now engaged, Will is as much in love with her as ever.
As those who love Tessa rally to rescue her from Mortmain’s clutches, Tessa realizes that the only person who can save her is herself. But can a single girl, even one who can command the power of angels, face down an entire army?
Danger and betrayal, secrets and enchantment, and the tangled threads of love and loss intertwine as the Shadowhunters are pushed to the very brink of destruction in the breathtaking conclusion to the Infernal Devices trilogy.

yeah, i thought the part about mortmain, the big showdown, if you will, was kinda…anticlimatic? but otherwise, great book. 🙂
You make me want to recommit to this series. For real. Why haven’t I finished the second one yet????

I really want to read this, but I am sad to see it end so I just keep putting it off. But you make it sounds so good, I’m just going to have to have tissues handy. Great review.

I remember loving the first book when it came out, but I just couldn’t get into the second one. It’s still on hold lol. I really need to finish this series up and I can’t wait to find out how CC ended the love triangle.
I agree that the action with Mortmain was lacking, but it was still a really great book. And I was a Team Jem fan from the beginning, but I’m happy with the ending. 🙂
I need to find time for this series! So many people seem to love it—sounds like an exciting series, but I admit I’m just in love with those covers! 😀
You know, I was a little surprised that there wasn’t a bigger production with Mortmain too. I even read that one scene twice to make sure I didn’t miss anything. But I was so focused on the love triangle to be really bothered much. I’m glad you liked this conclusion too. And oh man, I cried a lot as well. 🙂
I haven’t read Clockwork Princess yet because I’m terrified. I’m scared of crying and being an emotional mess, I’m nervous about all the feels I’ll be getting. And the whole Jem/Will thing stresses me out so much. I don’t really like love triangles. It’s just, how can someone love two people the same? I mean, I guess some people feel that way, but it isn’t how I am. I’m not judging by any means, but it makes me stressed out!
I really need to read it though, because soon I’ll be the only one who hasn’t!!
I really liked the ending! I liked who she ended up with (I liked him from the very beginning) and I also liked how the other love interest survived and they might have a chance.
It was a perfect end to the series and I admit I peeked at the family tree on the inside cover before reading the book to see if she ends up with the boy I liked.
Lovely review!
