** spoiler alert ** 
 I honestly dont think this was the best of the series. Clary and Jace are together now, which i love, but i honestly think that having it switch from clary to simon wasn't great. for one thing, simons part of the book was kind of boring. I was so bored during his story, then it would switch to clary and jace, and it would become my favorite book again. 
 Then, i know jace is like posseseed or whatever, but it kind of broke my heart to see him as such a jerk. 
 Then also, i hated the end. Really? Jonathons back, wooooopty-doo. Oy. Really, i though the whole circle, valentine, jonathon thing was over. I cant believe what happened. 
 But don't be fooled by my complaining, because I do love the mortal instruments series. Absolutely love them, this just wasn't as good as the first three. the third was my favorite 
 It did keep me excited for the day and a half it took me to read it, because i waited for it so long. It WAS good. I'm just really happy that i finally got to read it, considering i've been waiting for it since october.
