How did Jace get to America?

[Ashley]

We all know that Will is in London and maybe you don't know this but Jace from TMI is a Herondale. So how did Jace get to America when his ancestors are from London? Same with Isabelle and Alec Lightwood?

[Nurlely]

Due to the punishment, The Lightwoods were sent to America to head the institute there, and Hodge was also there too, suffering his punishment.

Jace was sent there after his 'father', Michael Wayland was dead.

I have no idea why the Clave decided America. Maybe because Cassie is living in America so it is much practical to write something she is so familiar with.

I think it has to start in England, as many myths and fantasy are from England.... :)

Oh ok cool. I forgot all about Hodge!

At the time, I think that even if they originated in Idris, they would go to America because that's where they were needed. The Lightwood's went to the New York Institute, and then Jace was then "adopted" by them.

Errr.... the Lightwoods were sent to America to head the institute there, as part of their punishment. Jace was sent to them to take care. Maybe because the clave wanted to gather the Circle in one place, along with their offspring. Being sent is different with went.

Why did they get punished?

It's not a stupid question. The answer is a bit complicated though. I would recommend reading the books and finding out the answer. I believe you get the answer in the first book so you don't have to wait long. But if you really want to know you can PM me and I will explain it to you in detail.

Go Sumaya!! You really need to read TMI... ;)

Jace is from Idris

The TMI series is awesome! It's great that CC relates events from other books into her writing. I think you would like it Sumaya. Must read!

Sumaya indeed needs to read TMI, before Emma from The Dark Artifices arrives.

[Ashley]

Absolutely! People who haven't read that series will probably be a bit confused on somethings

[Nurlely]

I read on Cassie's page where she suggested to read Clockwork Angel before City of Fallen Angels.

[Ashley]

Oh really. Cool. I didn't know that but I read it anyway :)

I have been following her books for so long, I practically read the series based on when the book was released. It was more than a year after City of Glass that Clockwork Angel was released. I remember I read it for a whole day, dropping other things until I finished... hahahaha

After Clockwork Angel, City of Fallen Angels, Clockwork Prince & City of Lost Souls were released respectively... ;)

[Pandabaking]

I believe the herondale family moved to idris and Stephen (Jace's father was born and then killed) then Jace was raised by that evil doer Valentine and then died for the first time and then Jace was moved to America to live with the light woods who then Jace became parabiti with Alec.

I can into this series pretty much right before City of Lost Souls came out. Then I found out that CC wrote another series and read TID and now I'm hooked.
