***Brilliant story***
Another unputdownable book from Cassandra Clare who gave us the best selling series the mortal instruments. I didn't think she can write any better but I was wrong, this book is absolutely brilliant and the world building is amazing that I feel like a part of this fantastical world she created. James Masters in his narrative is mesmerising it hypnotized you and sucked you into this magical world of angels, nephilims shadow hunters and under worlders. It's absolute delight to listen to him and I do hope that more books are in the works for this series.

I love endings
I love the Shadowhunter world and Emma and Julian's story in particular - this was such a fitting end to their trilogy. Full of emotion and closure. The performance of James Marsden was great. Sometimes I chuckled as he lowered or raised his voice to become one of the female characters or certain accents but all in all I didn't have a 'thrown from the story' moment. I loved it!

An exception to a usually great series
I've listened to or read every single Shadowhunter novel and series going and loved them, but I felt that this book just wasn't up to the usual standard. It felt Incredibly slow in parts, and I found myself stopping to listen to something else and coming back to it, rather than rattling through with excitement to the end. Parts that should have been exciting just weren't, and there was so much overly flowery emotional prose it became cheesey. What I found most irritating though was the the various relationships started to override the actual plot, and it honestly felt like the author, having run out of the 'ordinary' selection of non-traditional relationships, felt like she had to shoehorn in something even more out there, which ended up with the polyamorous relationship of three of the characters. So suddenly the Shadowhunter world, which in the first books couldn't even cope with a same sex relationship, was suddenly a place a three way love affair didn't really shock anyone. The book felt the author was making a point about how woke she is, and like one big lecture from the author that all kinds of people and relationships are totally ok - but we as readers know this, and wouldn't have got so far into the successive series if we were in any way offended but the melting pot of genders, sexualities and lifestyles she depicts. With the three characters there wasn't even any of the tension we felt during Magnus and Alex's journey and the happiness we felt when it all worked out for them. What we readers didn't quite get this time is the amazing story and emotional roller-coaster that we've come to expect love from these books. I'll absolutely still listen to any next book in the Shadowhunter world but really hope it'll be back to the usual amazing standard.

Brilliantly read
Poor James Marsters having to read 30 hours of this with so many different points of view and accents. He manages brilliantly. The book itself is incredibly long with an unsatisfactory conclusion and loads of setup for the next trilogy. Plus a polyamorous relationship between a teenage girl and two older men which seems inappropriate for a book aimed at teenagers.

Wonderful Ending
Heartbreaking and hopeful. It's a magical and very flawed World but the depth of the characters both new and old continue to make this book one hell of an ending. The whole trilogy has handled such complex issues including sexuality, gender, bigotry, racism and autism with an empathetic understanding of life's diversity that it's just shows how much Clare's writing continues to grow and flourish. I very much look forward to seeing what happens next in the World of Shadowhunters and Downworlders. James Marsters narration as always is a delight to listen to.

She delivered
Clare 100% delivered. I laughed, I cried and I still wanted more after 30 hours of audio book. I’m looking forward to whatever the next book will be. I’m glad they’ve kept the same narrator for more than one book (a rarity!) and Marsters’ voice really brings it, I think his range is great. All round excellent and I think it’s as good a last book in a trilogy that I could have asked for.

Best one out of the series
compared to the other two book I defently think this is the better one. I loved the battle and how the story was taken as a whole however the way they deal with the problem between Emma and Julian, I feel, it was just brushed away and they didnt actually solve it. but overall I did enjoy it alot.

Such a pleasure to be back with the shadowhunters
These books are so good, you get taken back into shadowhunter worlds, previous favourite characters return. You laugh you cry, its awesome. The narrator of the last two books was absolutely brilliant, I wasn't keen on the narrator of the first one of the three, it was a little wooden. This narrator was brilliant, bringing all the characters to life. it really is an experience. If you loved the mortal instruments then this is just perfect for you. Highly recommended.
