Synopsis-
Danger and betrayal, love and loss, secrets and enchantment are woven together in the breathtaking finale to the #1 New York Times bestselling Infernal Devices Trilogy, prequel to the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series.
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.
Review-
Its been eight months since I last read this book and finished the entire trilogy, but I still remember exactly how I felt. At first, I felt broken. Then, I felt sooooo overwhelmed with so many emotions. This book made me cry a river, grin like an idiot, laugh like a lunatic. In short, it blew my mind and I felt absolutely content and satisfied!
The story begins just months after the end of the last book. After the attack and findings in the last book, the shadowhunters of London are desperate now more than ever to find Mortmain and destroy the army of infernal devices for once and for all before Mortmain strikes. Especially, since Tessa seems to be at the core of his evil schemes. Will the trio sort out their feelings for each other? Will they be able to defeat the Infernal Devices?
The book had me hooked right from the first page. In comparison with the last two books, this book has so much more. More action, more romance, more heartbreak, more beautiful and more complex. I loved how almost every side character had an important roles and helped the story progress. The character development and dynamics were great. I absolutely adored all the pairings but herongraystairs is my heart! The story gained pace toward the second half of the book. The ending was just sooooo perfect and the epilogue was happy but heartbreaking still. My herongraystairs soul finally attained peace!
Overall, I highly recommend this book to all fantasy and/or history fans like me. I still regret and am hitting myself inside my head why I had not read this trilogy ages before. I strongly believe that I will always remember The Infernal Devices trilogy.
