REVIEW:
This book was fantastic. I loved almost every minute of it. The way if ended, although emotional, was great, and it made me love all of the characters even more.
The only think I didn't like, involves spoilers. So read ahead at your own risk.

It seemed really unrealistic when Clary and Jace had sex. They were all in Hell, and Clary and JAce just happened to find a clear pool of water. When they transferred Jace's heavenly fire into Clary's sword, Jace asks Clary if she wants to go "take a bath" that night. No mind that they're I a cave in Hell: they can touch each other now. So they get into the pool (which have stones that say PURITY in the bottom of it, by the way) and Jace reached to get a condom out of his pants, and they have sex in the pool.
Ok, there are three things that bother me with this. One, who brings condoms when they're going into hell? "Oh, we're going into Hell, better grab my condoms." When they're going into hell, he and Clary still can't do anything because he'll burn her if he does, because of the heavenly fire. So, why would he even think he'd need to bring a condom into Hell, I don't know. The last thing I'd be thinking if I was going there would be "Oh, I might have sex with my significant other; better bring a condom."
Second, there are definitely stones that say purity in the bottom of the pool. If there were stones that said that, I'd be pretty wary of not having premarital sex in that pool, which is most definitely NOT pure.
Third, why did they think they need to have sex IN HELL? Why not wait until you get out of Hell to have it? Yeah, one of you might die, but if you don't have sex and one of you dies, does that mean you loved that person any less? No!! So why don't you wait until you are assured that you are safe before you have it?? GAH!!

END SPOILERS
Other than that problem, I had no other qualms with the book. I LOVED it. A fantastic ending to a great trilogy. If you have not read this series yet, I highly suggest you do!
Side note: I cannot wait for THE DARK ARTIFACES. Emma's point of view was one of my favorite things about the book. Is it 2015 yet??
CONTENT: Kissing, two of the main characters have sex, but it is not very detailed. The swearing and violence are pretty much the same as all of the other books.
