First things first. Will Herondale. Hmm, Jessica Herondale... That has an interesting ring to it, don't you think? Will was such an adorable character, okay. I know he's like everyone's favorite character but really, it's so hard not to like him. I'll admit, he pissed me off a lot in the first two books. Remember what he told Tessa on the roof toward the end of Clockwork Angel? I wanted to punch him everywhere for what he said. It was awful. So throughout the first two books, I knew he loved Tessa, but at the same time you didn't exactly know his problem or why he was constantly so rude so I just assumed it was in his nature. But he managed to make me sooo mad all the time. After we find out what his real problem is, you start to feel for him and understand why he acts that way so you hate him a little less, even though he still pisses you off sometimes. After he found out the curse wasn't real, he becomes a better person and his rudeness and basically all the things you don't like about him fade away, and the wall he's built up over the years is finally crumbling down. I just love Will so much. His sarcasm was pretty funny and he's such a lovable character.
And then there's Jem. He's also very adorable, and where Will has an air of ignorance, Jem is always so kind and is never rude to anyone whatsoever. He does have sarcasm, but he's a lot nicer with it, and even then it's still hilarious. I loved seeing the relationship he had with Will and learning what it meant to be someone's parabatai. It was interesting to learn about their childhood together and you always feel for Jem because of his drug addiction. He has to take more and more of it or else he will die, and I almost cried when they were saying he'd died in Clockwork Princess. I felt better knowing that he had become a Silent Brother, so that he could live and still be there for everyone, though not all the time. When I found out he was Brother Zachariah, I kinda squealed, because I remembered him from the Mortal Instruments and how he was one of the Silent Brothers that helped the characters throughout the books.
That epilogue, though... I was bawling my eyes out when I was reading it. Cassandra Clare wrote Tessa's thoughts on Will's death, how he died and what had gone on over the years since then so well. It was such a beautiful ending, but thinking about Will's death and the fact that Tessa couldn't grow old with him because of her immortality was so sad. I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone. I mean, who wouldn't cry over Will's death? It was one of the saddest things. But the ending where she finally gets back with Jem again was so cute and beautiful. I was happy that the story ended that way, even though I wished that Will could've lived longer and stayed with her forever. They were like the perfect couple.
Also, Magnus Bane. There's no words to describe how much I love his character in the Infernal Devices and in the Mortal Instruments. He's so much fun to read about.
Anyway, that's all I wanted to talk about. I definitely have a lot more feels to discuss but I don't want to make this a super long blog post. Feel free to leave a comment about your feelings and we can have a discussion about how you felt about this trilogy, or just the shadowhunter world in general!
