In the last book, Clary stabbed Jace with the Archangel Michael's sword, Glorious. The power of the sword was that it destroyed evil within good, but if the evil outweighed the good, than the soul was killed. In Jace, evil was only the bond that made him bonded and loyal to Sebastian. However, that was now gone, and now Jace is Jace, only with a little tweak.
The power bestowed in the sword was Heavenly Fire, and when Jace was stabbed, the sword dissolved into his body, making the Heavenly Fire run through his veins. If you ask me, this is just freaking awesome. Now stronger, faster, and better than ever, can Jace defeat Sebastian?
Sebastian has proved countless of times that the Clave cannot defeat him alone. Sebastian and his endarkened army attacked several institutes and turned about 400 shadowhunters to endarked. Although he failed to succeed in an attack against the London Institute, he killed the entire Praetus Lupus, including Jordan, leaving a message for all downworlders that if they ally with the Clave then they will be killed with them but if they did not then they will be spared.
Crap, is what is going through ever clave member's head. How can they win this war when they cannot match their strength? In a battle at the Citadel, where the Iron Sisters forge the shadowhunter weapons, Jace ended up just flying throught the endarkened effortlessly with the heavenly fire flowing through his blood. Like a piece of cake. But Sebastian was still faster, and stabbed him in the shoulder only for the heavenly fire to attack back through the blade in Jace's chest making Sebastian flee.
About halfway through this book, I am seeing the world through countless views. There's action everywhere through every character and every place inside and outside of Alacante, where the Clave City Hall lies. The author has done a really good job with this, switching from point of view through point of view, having multiple different character stories entwined together to make this novel the novel it is. Building the intensity to make what a last book of a series be the best ending of a complete overall story. Flawless with the imagery, details, expansion of imagination to use with the massive concrete details. It is hard to not imagine the characters and their expressions, the setting, the surroundings, the way they move and act and react. I look forward to writing more of this novel, especially to finding out how it will all end.
