** spoiler alert ** 
 First of all........ 
 I HATE CLIFFHANGERS. 
 What up with that, Ms. Clare? It just seems cruel *sob* but I guess, if you were doing it to make sure that I would read the next one, it worked..... (But I would have read the next one anyway.....) 
 Cassandra Clare's writing was fantastic, and made me jealous, as usual. She thinks of the funniest punch lines, the best ironies, the best quotes, the best (hottest) male characters, and the best everything else, too, probably. Sigh. I wish my writing were more like hers.... 
 I will just go through all the things about the characters that I like: 
 Tessa: Smart, funny, made me wish I was like her, blah blah blah.... I don't know if she actually was in love with Jem, though. I wonder. Hmm. I really hate love triangles, but I think I would have done the same thing if I was in that situation. I actually think she handled the whole thing pretty well. One thing that annoyed me that she did- when Will was professing his love to her, she let him go on. And on. And on. AND ON. And I was like, PUT HIM OUT OF HIS MISERY FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!!! But I liked her character, and I felt like I could relate to it. I keep wondering if, since she's immortal, she will show up in The Mortal Instruments. Since she's a daughter of Lilith, and they keep dealing with her.... 
 Jem: Okay, I admit, during book 1, I was like "Awwww. Poor pathetic Jem who can't do a thing and he keeps coughing up blood and I hope he carries a breath mint at all times." And then I read this book, and I was like " O.O " So hot. SO HOT. Especially when he got all mad at Will, and I was like, YES! YOU FOUND YOUR MANLINESS! HIT THAT BASTARD! And him and Tessa.... I would be all for it if Will and Tessa weren't such a blazing hot fiery couple...... My prediction for the future of Jem..... *sob* he will die. Seriously. Magnus hinted that one or another would die, in some short story or another, and I feel like that would be the only way for Will and Tessa to get together.... 
 Will: HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT. I was worried, at first, that Cecily or Ella would be like his old girlfriends who were killed because of him, or something, and I was like, NO! (He can't be hot if he's not an emotional virgin.....) But you know, since Ella was only his sister that was killed because of him, everything's okay ;D I loved his character even more when he showed how awesome he could be when he wasn't trying to act like a bastard. In my mind, his love confession to Tessa went something like this: 
 SOMETIMES, 
 My love for you burns like a fire. 
 And I TAKE MY HAND. 
 And I STICK IT IN THE FIRE. 
 And I say AUGH! MY HAND! IT'S ON FIRE! 
 And there it is :D My prediction for the future for Will.... If Jem doesn't die, he will. If Jem dies, he will get with Tessa. Neither are really good options...... :O 
 Jessamine: While I hate what she did, I wish I had an older sister/friend/person who would dress me up all awesome like. 
 Charlotte and Henry: Aren't they just the cutest thing ever? <3 I have to say, I hoped something along those lines would happen :D 
 All in all, I would recommend this book to just about anyone who likes fantasy and YA. It's a great book!
