Rating: 5 Bows!
Sebastian Morgenstern is on the move, systematically turning Shadowhunter against Shadowhunter. Bearing the Infernal Cup, he transforms Shadowhunters into creatures out of nightmare, tearing apart families and lovers as the ranks of his Endarkened army swell.
The embattled Shadowhunters withdraw to Idris - but not even the famed demon towers of Alicante can keep Sebastian at bay. And with the Nephilim trapped in Idris, who will guard the world against demons?
When one of the greatest betrayals the Nephilim have ever known is revealed, Clary, Jace, Isabelle, Simon, and Alec must flee - even if their journey takes them deep into the demon realms, where no Shadowhunter has set foot before, and from which no human being has ever returned...
Love will be sacrificed and lives lost in the terrible battle for the fate of the word in the thrilling final installment of the classic urban fantasy series The Mortal Instruments!

I have followed this series from the very beginning and to have the final installment in my hands....it's indescribable. The wait was long, but it was so worth it!
The Mortal Instruments is by far my favorite series of all times. Each book was even better than the last so I was expecting great things from COHF, and I was not disappointed.
COHF starts off with instant action and it does not let down until the very end. We meet some new characters, yes I know, you would think we wouldn't since it's the last book but I feel it was Cassandra Clare's way of leading us to her new "Spin Off series" (I guess that's what you would call it?) and I grew to love these new characters just as I love the whole gang.
I will say this, a lot of deaths occur. You can kind of foresee this since Clary is wearing white on the cover and white is the color of mourning for the Shadow Hunters. Their is loss, heartache, love, and even redemption and its mixed into a whirlwind of action.
I was most excited to see Jace and Clary interact. I mean common we've been expecting something to happen between them for so long, it's just a matter of how it will happen. Jace is as imperfectly perfect as always and Clary is beyond the most amazing heroine I have ever read. The chemistry between them is phenomenal and the way that they balance each other makes my heart sing. My only problem with this book was that I wish there were more Jace and Clary time, I feel like they were pushed aside because of all the action. Don't get me wrong, there are scenes between them that will make you want to cry, laugh and even love them more.
The book wraps up nicely in the end, with everyone getting closure to their problems (Magnus and Alec, Isabelle and Simon, Mia, Raphael...). The book was hands down amazing, and my favorite book from the whole series. I highly recommend you pick COHF up and if you haven't read the series... PLEASE DO SO! Cassandra Clare, you are amazing. Much love <3
I LOVED this book so much. And, after I finished the series, I was having Cassandra Clare withdrawals, so I started The Infernal Devices. Have you read that series yet? It is SO good. I haven't been disappointed. The characters are really complex and the story is great!
ReplyDeleteI have! Some of the characters from COHF will make sense once you've read the infernal devices! They're just as great as the mortal instrument series!
