I was sad to finish this trilogy of books. It started out super weird, because I knew nothing about what the Shadowhunters were about. But I got sucked into it, as I figured I would.
So as I called it, Tessa and Will ended up together. I only wish that they had spent a little more time together before the book ended. But I was glad that they were able to realize that they were meant together, because seriously it's been the whole point of these books.
And like I called it, Jem died. BUT, his death was a little more complicated than that. Jem was dying because he didn't have the drug that he needed, and the author's announcing of his death was very anticlimactic. I even mentioned that to Brandon. "After 2 1/2 books just like that, he's gone?" BUT, later on they say that he underwent a transformation to become a Silent Brother, who is an immortal character that helps the Shadowhunters with birth, death, etc. That one took me totally by surprise. He came back to help them in their last battle with the clockwork army and the Magister, and then spoke to Tessa one more time. He asked her to meet him on the Blackfriar's Bridge every year, so they could spend an hour talking. I don't understand how he was able to do that, since the Silent Brothers were supposed to cast aside everything that kept them close to their mortal life.
The amazing thing that happened was when Tessa was able to transform into the angel that possesses her necklace. She was able to destroy the creator of all the robots that way, which destroyed her necklace. But that was the only way that they were able to survive.

The epilogue of the book made things very confusing. It talks about her life with Will, and how he died while she stayed the same, being immortal. And every year she went to meet up with Jem the Silent Brother, and they were able to talk for an hour. And then over a hundred years later (because being a Silent Brother means you are immortal), she goes to meet up with him. And when he shows up, he is normal Jem again. Not the one she had met up with. Over that last year, he had found out how to break free of his addiction and to become a normal Shadowhunter again. He went to Tessa and asked if they could have a normal life together. She agreed, and that's how it ended. Ok, how did he do it? And his first thought was to see the girl he was supposed to forget about over a hundred years ago? And is he going to grow old and die now too? What about Tessa?
I wish she would have written another book about Tessa and Will's life after they got together, instead of just the epilogue. That would have made the series complete. But I really liked it!
