I loved especially this last book of The Infernal Devices Trilogy, it's charmingly old-fashioned style, sweetly sad Victorian Brittish atmosphere; rainy gloomy and foggy gray London. This is the best book of Clare which I have read thus far. The whole trilogy is interesting and the world-building captivating, better than the following The Mortal Instruments Series, to which this is a prequel. This trilogy tells the history and background of the Shadowhunter Families, and includes a few of the same minor characters, the most important of them being the charming and mysterious Warlock Magnus Bane. I cannot but help to recommed this book and the whole trilogy to all the lovers of historical fantasy.
