Oh my god. I was wrong about these books. They really got to me in the end. I have now finished the whole series, having read the last book- Clockwork Princess. I was just a mess in the end. Don't get me wrong, the same things that I previously stated about (the rhythm of the book being off) still apply. The whole resolution of the plot was a total deus ex machina. These books are flawed. But nonetheless, the last book was so amazing. The ending was just heart-breakingly beautiful. There was just so much love and it was beautifully written. Sure, sometimes, there was a bit too much love (everyone found there one true soul mate). Still, even that was satisfying, I don't mind everyone having a happy ending. I generally hate reading about love triangles, they irritate me so much. This one was (to some extent) perfectly resolved.
At this point, I think the whole series could be worth a read even just for Will and Jem, and the last few chapters of the Clockwork Princess. But those aren't the only good things in the series, there are plenty more. Because of those, I ended up loving these books, and would recommend them.
