CONTAINS SPOILERS

OMG the amount of plot twists in this book are absolutely unreal. The Jace and Clarey thing I always knew was garbage, but Sebastien caught me completely off guard with his role in the story. I am totally pissed about Max dying because that was completely unnecessary. Overall I think the character development in this book was so much better than the previous ones and I am so much more satisfied with the ending. I must say that Clare's writing style is very confusing at times to the point where I'm not always sure who's point of view that I'm reading from. Also sometimes during the story I feel like she was just very lazy or ran out of motivation because she develops a scene so quickly, almost like she just wants it to be over and done with. The whole scene with Jocelyn waking up was quite possibly the laziest writing I have ever seen, and even further when she finally decides that she wants to go after Luke. Even the Valentine scene, the one we've all been waiting for made me feel so empty inside because it was over so quickly. While I enjoyed the story overall, there are some very obvious plot holes and noticeable points where the story is lacking.
