Do you feel the book jacket with family tree gave away too much of the story?
How do you feel the book relates in quality to the others in the series?
Jem or Will? Why?
You finally get to meet Cecily, Will's sister. What were your initial reactions towards her and how did they change?
What do you think about Tessa and her almost equal love for two separate men in this book? Do you think she is fair to them and remains a decent human being by how she acts around them and what she knows?
What are your thoughts on Consul Wayland and how he views others?
Man or Machine? What do you think about the automations and do you think at any time they could be considered superior to the strength of the Shadowhunters? If you believe men can overcome all machines, what is it that makes us the victor?
Benedict Lightwood maintains that Charlotte is not fit to run the Institute because she is a woman and women “do not think with logic and discretion but with the emotions of the heart”. How much of this opinion do you think comes from Lightwood and how much comes from the attitudes of the time? Do you think woman are still viewed this way? Do you feel that Charlotte overstepped her place or relied to much on emotion to govern the London Institute and those that resided there?
How does Will change after discovering the curse is one he has created in his own mind?
Would you consider having a parabatai? What characteristics would you want in the one you chose?
When Shadowhunters marry, they exchange runes and quote from the Song of Solomon: “Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave.” Do you think this passage appropriate for Shadowhunters? Would you prefer a Shadowhunter wedding compared to that of a mundane one?
Do you think it is wrong to fall in love out of one's social class? Do you think it is a mistake for Sophie to fall in love with Gideon Lightwood? Would you ever fall in love with someone who you felt was better then you or worse then you?
Death is usually an inevitable part of the Shadowhunter life. How do you think the theme was handled in this selection? What do you think about the theme of immortality for specific characters?
What relations did you see from the Infernal Devices series to the Mortal Instruments Series?
Magnus seems to get involved and care more about the characters then you would expect. How do you interpret Magnus's feelings for the characters in both series?
