These 4 books conclude the Mortal Instruments series. To say that a lot happens in these novels would be a serious understatement. But despite all of this action and death looming around the corner for all the main characters it still ends pretty much exactly how I predicted way back in book one. Now don't read into that too much. I am not saying the ending was bad, just that it is quite predictable. But honestly most young adult fiction is. The budding romantic couple will face numerous trials and tribulations but persevere in the end. No matter how dire the situation is or how easily the villain could win if they would just stop gloating or actually kill the hero when they get the chance, the main characters always emerge triumphant. But that is how most of the young adult stuff works. Again not a bad thing, but certainly a handicap or limitation that young adult writers seem to have.If you have read other books in this series, you should finish reading it. The demon killing that was sporadic at best in the first couple books really ramps up in these volumes. If you have not started this series and would like to, or are thinking to, then go and read my review of the first book and see if that describes something you would like, then see the first part of this paragraph.
