The final installment in the mortal instruments was fantastic. I LOVED the build up and the momentum of the entire novel. At times, TMI can get slow and redundant or like a giant waiting game and I was bored, but this time around, the waiting game was more anticipation of something BIG coming and had me on my toes. I think my favorite part of this was at about 75% in. Cassandra Clare usually writes the "trust me" plan without showing the reader the characters create the plan. In CoHF, we get to see a glimpse of the plan in the making and that definitely added to the entire atmosphere of it all because I was sitting and WAITING for something to happen.

I do think the reason I enjoyed this so much more though was seeing the characters and their emotional toil throughout it all. Meeting Emma and Julian was incredible and SO refreshing to see a younger side of things again. I loved being back in this world, and seeing my favorites, but Emma and Julian really were needed in this. ALSO OKAY SPEAKING OF CHARACTERS. BROTHER ZACHARIA. THAT IS ALL.
