Her coming-of-age character arc shows how she learns to listen to her intuition rather than others when making choices. Tessa is not, in fact, a damsel-in-distress, as she establishes herself as a strong female protagonist by voicing her unfiltered thoughts (and shamelessly throwing a water jug at her handsome rescuer). Unlike in other YA novels, Clare fully explores the relationships between the three vertices of this epic young-adult love triangle without ultimately side-lining any character’s affections by forcing them to choose one love. Tessa, throughout the course of the series, gets the chance to be with each of the male protagonists and to fall in love with each of them for who he really is.
CRIMSON GRAY TRUE ENDING SERIES
At a time in my life when I myself had multiple crushes at the same time, this series presented a love story that challenged my perceptions of monogamy and morality. Tessa starts to develop feelings for two parabatai (best-friend-cum-warrior-partners), Will and Jem, as she is relentlessly pursued for her unique ability to shape-shift. “The Infernal Devices,” the Victorian-era prequel trilogy to “The Mortal Instruments,” chronicles the journey of teenage bibliophile Tessa Gray, who is taken in by the Shadowhunters, a group of warriors sworn to protect humans from demons and police the Downworld. However, the plot surprisingly deviates from this cliché beginning, complicating an otherwise formulaic romance narrative.
This was obviously the handsome, literary hero who Tessa Gray, the damsel-in-distress, will inevitably fall for and be with by the end of this supernatural tale. He had the most beautiful face she had ever seen.” As the charming Will Herondale made his entrance in Cassandra Clare’s “The Infernal Devices,” I immediately rolled my eyes.
