Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn become parabatai. Simon and Clary both act as their witnesses, so they can see what a parabatai bond forming looks like as they want to become parabatai as soon as Simon graduates — and because Emma asked Clary. The ritual goes unexpectedly …

Sam Heughan narrated the audiobook and it was amazing
Ooooh so intrigued by what is to come! I wish there was more Emma and Julian, but I guess that will come in Lady Midnight!

Feeling a lot of Simon and Clary best friend feelings, and I also know that I am definitely going to ship Emma and Julian and it's going to break my HEART.

My favorite of the TFTSA by FAR! So nice to see so many of my favorite characters from ALL of Cassie's books in one place. The plot of this novella TOTALLY captivated me and was extremely interesting, intense, and entertaining. I started to cry 4 times at different points just because there was so much nostalgia mixed with so many new feelings and I absolutely loved it! x

We always hear about Parabatai's and their bonds but we never knew what really goes into finding yours and the ritual itself. This was great insight to both! Loved these Simon and Clary moments. They've always been true Parabatai. But really Emma and Julian?! I foresee a lot of heart break coming for these two in The Dark Artifices :(

The Fiery Trial is the eight short story in the Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy bind up. This short story is definitely my least favorite. Not because it's not action packed or interesting; because it really is. It's because there was so much action and so interesting that it became too much and very, very confusing. Everything was fuzzy and I found myself lost at least 4 times and that's 3 times too much for a short story that's only 64 pages long. The cast of characters in ...more

I am almost done! I have 2 more to go and I am so excited to finally get my hands on Lady Midnight! I want to catch up with Winter though, because I love the Lunar Chronicle Series and I need to finish the series. Since I have a few days over the 3 day break, I am going to do as much reading as I can! That includes finishing the Shadowhunter Academy, Winter and Lady Midnight. I don't think I will finish all of it because both of those books are huge, but it's worth a shot, right?

“True parabatai are linked long before the ceremony takes place.”
This one I feel really on the fence about. Like, drugging people, even with good intentions, isn’t cool. Basically, this is the parabatai short story! We get to see Julie and Beatriz decide to become parabatai. We get to see Emma and Julian become parabatai. And then we get to see Simon and Clary discuss if they want to be parabatai. And… I thought I would like it more than I did. First off, Maureen is the character in ...more
|2.7 stars|
This one will be very short because I have zero motivation at the moment
A Maureen and Cassandra collaboration can go really good or just meh.
AFT was on the meh side, to be honest.
They’re so going to say that Simon had some sort of Sight before he actually met the Shadowhunters because what was all that crap about hallucination!Jace telling Simon to remember the first time he saw him? Is Cassandra really going to say he could saw the Shadow world before shit hit the fan? This is just t ...more
It was good, I loved that Magnus was in it. It was great to see Clary and Simon's friendship again.
"It was like that with my parabatai, Will. I never had to ask Will what he was thinking. In fact, it was usually better not to ask Will what he was thinking..."
My heart breaks everytime Jem talks about Will.
It was also great to see an actual parabatai ceremony with Emma and Julian. Although he clearly does not want to become parabatai with her but he has no choice.

Meh, this one was pretty boring, and also really confusing. I spent half of the time wondering what on earth was going on! I don't really care for the relationship between Clary and Simon, the whole parabatai ceremony for Emma and Julian was over way too soon - and the atmosphere was so weird I'm still not sure what to think. I don't know. This novella was really odd. I loved seeing Magnus again though and oh, Jem! *heart-eyes* Hearing him talk about his parabatai bond with Will warmed my heart

“I’m not going to kiss you,” Simon said. “Ever.”
“I’ve never heard anyone say that before,” Jace mused. “It was a unique experience.”
WOW! So a lot of shit went down in this book. A whole lot of parabati shit.
But then The Fiery Trial had to take me on an emotional roller coaster ride that I did not sign up for, like:

What the hell was this? I dunno what to write so write this nonsense type of novella?
Why do I almost love these short story collections more than the actual series?
4.5 Stars!
I don't know what to say.
I cried. A lot. My heart hurts. Like hell.
I'm probably dying from Parabatai feels.

This is all to much for me to handle. Seeing Jem talking about Will... breaks me. And the way Jace and Alec look at each other is just so heartbreaking beautiful that hurts.

I have a hard time giving any novella 5 stars, but this is one NOT to miss. It added some essential things to the series!
I have a feeling that Emma and Julian's decision to be parabatai will prove to be potentially problematic in The Dark Artifices series.
Hmm, I wonder... I might be sensing forbidden romance? ...more

❝ I saw the two of you having entire conversations without saying a word. It was like that with my parabatai, Will. I never had to ask Will what he was thinking. In fact, it was usually better not to ask Will what he was thinking. . . . ❞

So this was read by Sam Heughan, and it was so enjoyable, it's a short story about the ceremony to become parabatai in the Shadowhunter's world, this story has particular relevance when you think about Julian and Emma and what happens next in lady midnight, because parabatais depend on one another but can't fall in love.

"The ritual goes unexpectedly..." = unexpectedly what? ...WELL?

This is Cassie Clare writing. When trouble comes, it ain't unexpected to me anymore. Everything will probably hit the fan. And that's okay.

This story's turned me into an emotional blubbering mess! So, I'm sorry, but I need to share all my feelings. I don't even know where to start!
Of course this was all about parabatai, and that topic alone kills me. And, yes, obviously Jem was in this story, and even when he wasn't doing or saying anything I thought about him thinking about Will, and I'm going to cry again. Every time he said something about him my heart squeezed so painfully.

Original review on Julalicious Book Paradise
I cannot say in words just how much I'm enjoying these novellas.
I thought we would see more of Emma and Julian in this, but I guess it wasn't that important to this novella, it was simply the reason behind what Simon and Clary would go through. Though Simon wants Clary as his parabatai, he still haven't gotten the courage to ask her.
In this novella, Simon and Clary are being tested whether or not they ought to become each other's parabatai. I won't li ...more

This one was so emotional! I am in love with the concept of parabatai, the unshakeable love and bond between two soulmate friends😭 I am SO HAPPY that Simon and Clary have realized that they are true parabatai, even if it took a good hard push (aka shove!) from Magnus, Jem, and Catarina. I am so excited to see these two become parabatai as their journey is tremendously unique with both only discovering the Shadowhunter world in the very recent past. I especially love the connection Simon retains
