If City of Heavenly Fire is to be published year 2013, it evidently means that there will be no end of the world year 2012! This is GOOD news!
*UPDATE* 25/11-2012
We WILL survive! Ms. Clare wouldn't do this to us if she wasn't ABSOLUTELY sure the world isn't ending in less than a month... *me looks nervously at the calendar*

Me when I found out the release date:


Just finished City of Lost Souls and now I have to wait 2 more YEARS before I can read this book! It's going to be torture I tell you! Pure TORTURE! At least Clockwork Princess is coming out in 2013 otherwise I think I might go insane from this wait!
I LOVE the title it just makes you want to read this even more. I mean who wouldn't want to read a book called City of Heavenly Fire?
On another note...if Magnus and Alec don't get back together someone is going to
Edit (3/12/13) - I just noticed that it says on the bottom of the placeholder: "Cover to be revealed when you least expect it".
Original:
Cassandra Clare why are you doing this to us? March 19, 2014 is way too far away, this is pure torture. How could she end it on a spectacular cliffhanger than expect us to wait 2 whole years?

Clockwork Princess is already out! I hope everything works out between Tessa, Will, and Jem. Even though Clockwork Princess is already out, City of Heavenly Fire is sti...more

Oh, 2014 you say?
Way to freaking long. Right now this is me;

And, the longer I wait the more I want to do this;




Oh, and if Alec and Magnus don't get back together;



For those of you who ship Simon/Clary instead of Simon/Izzy; Well,

I would really love for Izzy to finally tell Simon how she feels 'cause then I would have to be all like;

FINALLY!! Thank you, Jesus.

Are you fucking kidding me with this? I'll be ELDERLY by the time I get to read this book. ELDERLY.
Oh, and also? If they don't put Magnus on the cover of this book, I'm going to do what I've wanted to do since the beginning of London 2012: I'm going to march into the millenium dome and pants Kohei Uchimura. In protest.
So there, Margaret K. McElderry books. Put Magnus on the cover. I'm holding Kohei hostage.

Hmm…although I have only read the first three books of TMI, I can't possibly imagine how Cassandra Clare wrote THREE MORE DANG BOOKS!!! Did anyone else think that City of Glass wrapped everything up nicely? I did. With everyone happy. The Downworlders and Shadowhunters forgetting their pasts and mingling. Maryse being okay with Alec and Magnus (that part was so sweet. I smiled whenever they came up.) Clary and Jace together. Simon accepting his sunny-albeit bloody- fate. Happiness for all!!!!!

Realy, she's gonna make us wait two damn years to read the book? I mean, I'm dying here. Two whole years. For one book. Is she trying to torture us with this? If I die before this book comes, I'll come back and haunt her forever, cause that would suck. I'm totally addicted to this book series and can't believe we have to wait so long just to read the next book. I thought it was going to take like seven months or something, not two years. Simon is the best, anyone who says diffrent clearly has so...more
Why are you doing this to me!!! I love Cassandra Clare's books but I'm gonna hate her forever for making me wait this long!! It's bad enough I have to wait about half a year for COLS, now I have to wait more than a year after COLS for COHF!!! This is ABSOLUTELY THE WORST KIND OF TORTURE IN THE WORLD!!!! I should have waited till the end of 2013 then bought COFA, COLS and COHF but I couldn't keep my hands of COFA. And now how am I feeling you ask?

I have no idea why I'm going to read this.
Perhaps I am a masochist.
City of Lost Souls was freaking awful.
But I have to know how it ends.
And maybe it will magically get better.
Also it will probably have a gorgeous cover.
And I have no self-control whatsoever.

**EDITED TO ADD**
I honestly feel like this series started a decade ago. Dragging this out until 2014 is ridiculous. I mean, I love this series, and have supported her when other fans have complained that she is just trying to cash in on a popular series instead of ending it on a high note. But even I am starting to get fed up. *grumble.*

DO YOU WANT ME TO DIE, CASSANDRA CLARE?????
Because I have told myself that I'm not allowed to reread everything until City of Heavenly Fire comes out, I'm going to leave a link to a book discussion about TID-TMI connections here so I can go back and look for all this stuff when I'm allowed to reread the whole of TMI and TID. I'll probably end up annotating the books, but since CP and CP2 are both Collector's First Editions, I'm not sure how I'll do that. Post-it notes, probably.

HOLYFRICKENAWESOMENESS!!!! See, that was the fan girl I was (somehow) containing. I CAN'T wait for this to come out. And the cover. Oh God. I'm almost as excited for the cover to come out as I am for the story itself.
Jace. Here's a message for you: Don't stop being Jace.

It was torture waiting two years for Clockwork Princess even though City of Lost Souls came out a year before, to break up the wait. So now that Clockwork Princess is out and The Infernal Devices is completed, I'd hate to imagine the pain and anguish of waiting a year for City of Heavenly Fire oh wait I'm feelin' it right now.
And just the foreshadowing implied in the epilogue of Clockwork Princess MAKES IT SO MUCH HARDER.
I just can't even--.

AKA the only reason I even read these books anymore. Seriously, what IS the plot now...? Is it just the roller coaster of Jace and Clasry's can/can't relationship? It's stale. Those two (Magnus and Alec) are the only interesting things in these books anymore besides the references to the Infernal Devices which I love

First, 2014, are you kidding me! I don't think I can last that long. I am in love with these books and just even thinking of having to wait 10 months for this book to come out sets me into a deep state of depresion.

Second, I don't see how people are complaining about having so many books in this series. The way I look at it, the more there are, the longer the story lasts. I hate it...more

I'm just now finishing the 5th book and knowing I have to wait next year for the 6th makes me want to do this
