The story takes off form the time the heartbroken Clary (as Jace respected what Clary wants and told her he wants nothing but just Clary as a sister). She meets an old friend of her mom who says she knows how to save her and to save her mom they need to go to Idris to meet Ragnor (warlock). She tells Jace and they plan on going together. However, Jace does not want Clary to go with him so he lies to Clary about the time they are opening the portal (by Magnus) and calls Simon just before they leave. Simon is shocked over this and disagrees but keeps quiet when Jace says all he wants is to protect Clary. Things turn ugly when they are attacked by demons and Simon gets injured and Jace drags Simon to Idris. Clary comes to know that they left and creates a new rune and travels with Luke to Idris and lands on river. She is poisoned and Luke goes to meet an old acquaintance (his sister) to help Clary.
There at the manor in Idris they met the new family and Sebastian who is about Jace’s age. Friends become enemies and enemies become friends. Some trust is broken and some trusts are gained back. They must fight the battle with Valentine and demons/ downworlders join forces to the good and evil side. Some false relationships and some hidden relationships come to light.
I personally liked the story and the ending but I just did not like reading about the fight/war as there are many characters and it is boring after some time. I hate the fact that it is always the new young crowd that is the savior and who has special powers and the people on the top are the ones who must make the decision. It is a very well written novel and all the loose ends gets tied and you will not be left wondering what happened. I loved how the past stories about the uprising is related to every new characters life and story is related. It makes so much sense and it is wonderful.
I am glad I read the series. May be in due time I will also read the remaining 3. But I will assume this as one set. 😊 Happy reading!
