The Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare - Reading Book 4 onward from the 8th of January 2019

[Megan]

Glad you got it! :) there really good can't wait for the 6th one to come out on the 28th! ;)

[Connie]

I'm beginning City of Ashes tonight :)

[Connie]

I'm also on City of Ashes! Hoping to finish tonight or tomorrow~ I'm kind of binge-reading :P since I want to get through all five before the 27th.

[Connie]

City of Ashes (Book Two)

Chapter 1-4: (view spoiler)[ I'm still kind of grossed out that they're brother and sister like ew. Really. (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

City of Ashes (Book Two)

Chapter 4-End of Part One: (view spoiler)[ NO BROTHER BENJAMIN. I kind of had a soft spot that SB even though he didn't talk. So far this book is way more dramatic than the last one but I think I like this one way more. Magnus is now my fave, sorry Jace. But he's just too fab. (hide spoiler)]

[Megan]

Just finished the city of fallen angels! ;)

[Connie]

City of Ashes (Book Two)

Part Two: (view spoiler)[ Like...The whole Clary and Jace thing is disturbing me so much. Like I want them too and they want too but they're like related and ugh weirddddd. Also, for some reason, I suspect that they aren't related and Valentine is just being an asshat. BTW Valentine is an asshat, so is the Inquisitor. #asshatsquad (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

Final Thoughts on City of Ashes: This book was a lot better than the first one and I'm actually excited to continue on with this series.

[Connie]

On chapter 7 in City of Glass (: This is my first time rereading TMI, and I have to say I think I need to reread every book to get everything out of it.

[Connie]

Just started City of Glass :)

[Michael]

City of glass is so good

[Connie]

I'm in the middle of City of Fallen Angels now! And @Michelle I agree, City of Glass is amazing.

Agreed, it's my favorite book of the series :)

[Connie]

I had a cousin staying with me this weekend, so I haven't even really got through much of CoG

But so far Jace is a little bitch

[Connie]

Haha, Jace is a little, ah, harsh in the beginning of City of Glass~ But I'm in love with him regardless xD

[Connie]

City of Glass

Part One: (view spoiler)[ pretty sure what they almost did in the garden of the Wayland mansion is ILLEGAL. And also, Jace is a little bitch, and Clary needs to stop with all these guys I mean come on. I can't get one and she's got like 3, well 2, Simon's a vampire. (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

City of Glas

Part Two: (view spoiler)[ OH MY GOD. THE ENDING OF PART TWO. It's gotta be a trick... (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

City of Glass

Ending (view spoiler)[ If Jace isn't having an identity crisis yet the dude is tough! I loved this book. Definitely the best so far! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Is anyone still here? I'm starting my re-read of right now to prepare for !!!

I'm so excited.. The prologue already has me hooked. Poor Simon :(

[Rachael]

THE FEEEELS! I have a hard time judging a these books on a book-by-book basis because I love the characters so much and Cassie's writing style that idc what happens in it!

[Connie]

City of Heavenly Fire hasn't been delivered to me yet, and I'm dying, oh my god.

[Rachael]

I have it and I'm dying to read it but I'm really glad I decided to catch up on CoLS first! I forgot so much stuff!

[Connie]

I'm only on book 4...it's gonna be at least a month before I get to the new one :(:(

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I couldn't bring myself to re-read the 5th one. once was bad enough! the 6th one is alright so far though!

[Rachael]

I'm going to discuss CoLS now and whenever you get there you can view the spoilers and I will discuss :)

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ ooooh! Didn't catch this first time around.. Clary asking Jocelyn if the shadowhunter protection ceremony was performed on her and Jocelyn said yes Magnus arranged it through a silent brother and a female warlock... Tessa & Jem!!! <3 have you guys read The Infernal Devices? (hide spoiler)]

[s]

I'm currently reading City of Glass. :)

Chapter 4 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I remember that bit funnily enough! I really need to read clockwork princess. (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

@Rachael I've read The Infernal Devices! :) The first book starts off a tad slow but overall the trilogy is amazing <33

[s]

Ooh, it's good so far!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

City of glass is my favourite too!

[Rachael]

Mine too!

Cassie is just so good at characters! I love every character Cassie comes up with

[Eva]

Hey how is it going so far ? Is it good ? I have heard many people die ! ;(
I have not started because I am waiting for the book to release in India . ( I don't like reading on tabs , so I buy books )

[Rachael]

Sizzy sexy time!

[Connie]

@Rachael I KNOW RIGHT I love Cassie's characters. Usually when I read a book there'll be one character who's my favorite, but I am hopelessly obsessed with many TMI/TID characters and ships. It's almost becoming unhealthy.

This is the thread for City of Heavenly Fire - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

It's good so far!

[Rachael]

CoLS

Ch 11- (view spoiler)[ I see Sebastian trying to show what little goodness in him he has.. Some people like Sebastian but I never have and still don't. But I can see how he could be gaining fans in this chapter (hide spoiler)]

Ch 12- (view spoiler)[ ooh yay clary hates eggs! I can't stand them... Smell taste feel look eck (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chatper 17 - Thank the ANGEL for that quick glimpse of the real Jace.. I've missed him

[Connie]

CoLS general spoiler (view spoiler)[I feel sympathetic to Sebastian in a way. Underneath his evil, it seems like he's just lonely, and he can see that Clary and Jace are his last chance/closest thing to family. Am I crazy, or does anyone else agree with me? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Connie wrote: "CoLS general spoiler [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I can kind of see where you're coming from. No matter what was done to him, he possibly still has human emotions underneath, and needs family and love the same as anyone else. With his father gone, he doesn't exactly have many people to turn to. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

That's not the first time I've heard that about Sebastian but I don't really care... He is pure evil and he desires evil.. He's ruthless and mean.. I usually have a soft spot for the villain but I definitlw don't here

[Rachael]

I just finished... The battle scene at the end was epic and the Alec/Magnus breakup was devastating

[Connie]

@Rachael I completely agree about the epilogue. (view spoiler)[I cried when I read Malec's breakup. I NEED them to get back together. (hide spoiler)]

Sebastian is indeed ruthless and I hate him for that, but at the same time I can't help but feel (view spoiler)[That it's not his fault for acting that way. If Valentine hadn't given Jocelyn demon blood, would Sebastian still act so evil? Probably not, right? (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

You're right.. and it's 100% Valentines fault that Sebastian is the way he is. Time and time again its been proven that children are such a product of their upbringing and Sebastian is a prime example. It sucks that he was raised that way, but he was. And that's that. He could rise up and do what's morally right but he chose to continue on Valentines path. So for that, I have no sympathy.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I can't wait for you guys to read the last one! I have a feeling your thoughts are going to be very interesting!!! Please read it ASAP!! ☺ I want to chat about it ☺

[Crystal Elizabeth]

rereading City of Bones and falling in love with Jace all over again. Kind of weird now reading after a movie's been released because I can't help but see Jamie as Jace in my head, even though Jamie's not how I picture Jace as looking at all!

I finished the last book, and. Ohmygosh. I'm going to need at least a month to get over everything.

[❁K]

Okay so I've finally decided to read this series because I've only heard fantastic things about it. I'm only up to Chapter 3 of the first book so far but I'm enjoying it. I actually have no idea what the overall plot is so I'm excited. So far thumbs up, I love Simon's humour ♥ It's going to be fun trying to dodge spoilers for the series until I'm finished haha :))

[❁K]

So I finally finished City of Bones! I didn't really update it on this page though because I kept seeing spoilers for the series pop up, but all in all I'm excited to see where this series is going! I've written my review for this and after I read Silver Shadows by Richelle Mead I look forward to reading book 2 :))
