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

[Victoria]

Oops, I forgot to say that I finished! I gave it 4 stars, I can't wait to read the next one and find out (view spoiler)[ what's going on with Jace and Clary. They can't be brother and sister, they just can't. They're too in love. Clary's mum needs to wake up and tell them Valentine is wrong and fix all this weirdness. Although Clary could get with Simon, that'd make me very happy (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

Thanks! :)

[Christina]

Hey Victoria, will you be reading City of Fallen Angels after this? Maybe we could buddy that during May?

[Victoria]

Yeah, I plan to :) Hopefully my library is a bit better this time, it took me about a month for this one to arrive... I'll let you know :)

[Nikki]

I'd enjoy joining that one too if you girl don't mind?

[Victoria]

Of course! :)
I'll start tonight hopefully

[B.B.]

If y'all don't mind, I would like to join when y'all start City of Fallen Angels.

[Victoria]

Of course :) I'll message you both when we pick a date to read it
I'm up to chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ I know Clary is the main character, but she still needs to think a little bit. Yes, she has the runes, and that's very cool. But she still nearly died! Good thing she has Luke, or she'd be screwed. I don't trust the new Inquisitor. I'm very worried about Simon being left with him. They say they're sending him home, but I don't trust that they are... Even if they do, he's going to be so worried about Clary. But they won't. I just know it. It's going to be very awkward with Clary, Jace and that other girl he's flirting with. Poor Clary! (hide spoiler)]

[B.B.]

Thank you!

[Nikki]

I'll start reading this tomorrow :)

[Nikki]

Up to chapter 2
(view spoiler)[ wow what an introduction into the book, tension, pain and action definitely gripping (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

Up to chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ Oh, cool, another relationship for me to ship... Sebastian is just so goddamn adorable, I have to love him. He really wants Clary, so I want Clary to want him. Except, you know, he's probably evil. I still don't like Jace. I can't understand why everyone loves him so much! He's selfish, and self destructive, and a horrible person. I'm worried about Simon. The Inquisitor is clever, he'll work out pretty fast who's feeding Simon. Hopefully he gets out soon. More importantly, I hope this fire hasn't hurt anyone! (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

Up to chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ Max, no! I'm so upset. Of all the people to be killed, did it have to be him? He's so little! I didn't care about the Inquisitor, I didn't like him. Oh, and I told you Sebastian was evil! I still love him, because I didn't like Hodge. I'm a little mad he killed Max, but I think we can move past that. I'm starting to see why everyone loves Magnus so much. He's so sassy and great. And him and Alec are so perfect! I just want Alec to realise that... (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

Up to chapter 18. But screw 16, all I want to talk about is that last chapter! (view spoiler)[ That could not have gone any better! Okay, I admit, I sort of new it was going to happen. Being the last one to read a series means people accidentally spoil a lot of things. But still, yay! Jace and Clary aren't related after all! They can be in love again!!!!! Plus, the Clave are going to go along with Clary's plan. Which means, of course, we have a massive battle to look forward to. I CANT WAIT (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

Finished! (view spoiler)[ That was such a happy ending! Everyone's in nice, happy relationships. Valentine is dead. So is Max, but we can move past that. But now I'm concerned about the next book. I have no idea what could happen after an ending like that. It felt like an ending of a series, so I'm worried that the next book will be too forced... Oh well, we'll see :) (hide spoiler)]

[Nikki]

Up to 5
(view spoiler)[ well what a surprise the clave don't stick to what they said they would and well Luke is being a little hard on Clary for wanting to save her mothers life seeing as it is her mum (hide spoiler)]

[Nikki]

Up to 10
(view spoiler)[ well those were a few eventful chapters, Jace showing pure hate for Clary, Sebaatian finding an interest in Clary, her still trying to find the warlock to help her wake her mother, finding them and the book she needs finding a dying angel and releasing him/her and blowing up a mansion, getting all hot and bothered with her brother and then stopping him then walking back to the city to find it burning can't say Clary's life is dull (hide spoiler)]

[Nikki]

Up to 11
(view spoiler)[ I love the banter between Alec and Magnus as they fight the demons, it's sweet and well I guess flirting (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

Nikki wrote: "Up to 11
[spoilers removed]"
Ohmygod I agree, I ship them SO MUCH

[Nikki]

Up to 14
(view spoiler)[ wow, the action doesn't seem to stop and nor can I reading this lol! the meeting where valentine was projected was definitely well described it even made me feel the tension in that hall (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[So cute to see Alec the strong shadow hunter really show what he feels because god sometimes he's so obnoxious (hide spoiler)]

[Nikki]

Up to 17
(view spoiler)[ wow thank god Clary grew some gumption, I love the way she met her mother, she was right to be angry about being hidden from a world she was entitled to even if her mum thought she was protecting her and doing the best by her daughter, oh and her speech was brilliant (hide spoiler)]

[Reading Rediscovered]

If you get to CoHF this month, please let me know!

[Victoria]

Jessica, we won't get up to it this month, do you still want us to tell you whenever we do get to it? :)

[Reading Rediscovered]

Yup :) I might not get to it this month as I found some other books to buddy read.

[Victoria]

@Nikki, do you not like Alec?? I love him, he's so cute!

[Nikki]

Victoria wrote: "@Nikki, do you not like Alec?? I love him, he's so cute!"

I didn't like him at first but well he gradually grew on me and by the end of the book I could see what attracted people to him :)

[Nikki]

Ok right I'm going to sound stupid now but does anyone know what book comes after this one In the order to read it because I get told different things. Like to read in publication order not the order they're numbered help!

[B.B.]

Reading City of Fallen Angels May 2nd 2015

**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

[Victoria]

Thanks! Can't wait :)

[Christina]

Oh so early! :( I'll start mid May...

[[deleted user]]

Can I join you guys?

[Victoria]

Sorry Christina :(
Of course Lilith!

[Victoria]

Starting today! :)

[B.B.]

I will be starting tomorrow evening! Yay!

[Victoria]

Up to chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ This isn't as good as the other ones in the series. So far, it's only about their relationships. I'm getting mad at Simon, treating Isabelle and Maya like that. Jace is way too moody. If he doesn't like her, fine. But don't be so confusing! I can't wait for Luke and Jocelyn's wedding. Although, I obviously watch too much Game of Thrones, because I'm quite concerned. Itll be fine though. Right? There'll only be relationship dramas... I hope (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

Up to part 2 (view spoiler)[ I'm so glad Simon's girls have found out about what he's doing. He was horrible! Although, Isabelle was just as bad, so she shouldn't be as mad as Maya. I can't believe he killed that little girl. He's becoming an awful person, and I don't like it one bit. Jace is being awful too. Loving someone is a terrible excuse for ignoring them. And then he just runs off without saying anything! He needs to sit Clary down and talk to her about what's really wrong. He needs to start treating her well quick smart, before she gets a brain and leaves him. I'm so frustrated with this book, ahhhh (hide spoiler)]
