The Infernal Devices trilogy has come to a close, and I find that I am strangely satisfied with the outcome. There are many unexpected twists and turns that drive an action based plot to it's epic conclusion. Tessa's past is revealed, and secrets are finally brought into the light. The characters grow and change to the point where their choice echoes the hero they wish to be. The love triangle is resolved, in a very interesting way, and the world of the Clave is restored to order.
This book was focused on both the external and internal conflicts of the characters. Jem, Will and Tessa have extremely difficult choices to make, and a life hangs in the balance. While Charlotte and Henry do what they can to protect their family, the Magister is determined to bring his plan to its gruesome finale.
What I enjoyed most about this book was the emotional ties that the reader has to the characters. Each character reaches a turning point, and you can't help but to have your heart go out to them. I can't say much more without spoiling the story, but I recommend both this book, and the trilogy as a whole to anyone who loves action, adventure, steam punk, paranormal stories and religious themes. The romance in this series is on an entirely differnet level than any paranormal teen novel I have read, and it does not follow the tropes, stereotypes and the general expectations of the situations.
All in all a great read and a satisfying tale.
