warning: contains spoiler. if you haven't read the infernal devices yet, please do. it's amazing. 

So, I just finished reading the final book for Clare's The Infernal Devices, which is The Clockwork Princess. I know that it had been months since it was out, but since college had been a pain, I wasn't able to read it immediately after its release.

Reading the first two books of the triology, I never thought of an emotional ending to The Infernal Devices. It was full of discoveries and also of heartbreak. For me, at least. 

I was the sort of reader who would be really engrossed at what happens in the books and I would totally lost myself into it. That's why while reading the whole series, I never really expected something so heartbreaking yet pleasant. I'm sorry, I'm not good with words. I really can't put it. I was expecting a tragic ending, maybe someone dying after the death of Mortmain. It did happen, but well, after 30 years. 
 

In the epilogue, the setting was 2008. And that's a century and a half after the start of Infernal Devices. Clare's description of Will's death was so clear that I imagined it was me who cried at his deathbed. It was me who felt the other side of the bed only to know that Will's not there anymore. And I felt the sadness she had then. 

And then there's Jem. I'm happy that both would have an ending we all would like. I actually cried at his "supposed" death. Because the pain was vivid through Clare's description. And although it hurt, I loved it. 

warning: somewhat unrelated

I actually finished this first rather than The Mortal Instruments. I find Tessa a more bearable protagonist than Clary. Although, I must read the second book to Mortal Instruments to know if she developed a lovable attitude. Aside from being an otaku, there's actually nothing about her that I like. I don't know why Jace always refer to Clary as the bravest mundane. But I'll find out!
