City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments #6) by Cassandra Clare -- Restarting October 1st 2024

[Rachael]

Okay I'm a bad guesser lol

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You need to keep reading to find out Rachael! Are you not intrigued??

[Rachael]

I am I am I'm just busyyyy! I plan to make a big dent in it today

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I know what you mean, I've hardly read anything today it seems.

[Rachael]

Chapter 9 (view spoiler)[ Wow.. Clary Fray.. Tessa Gray.. I never even thought of that (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Sarah wrote: "Nope, something else!"

Well I found out what it was... I couldn't have been more wrong lol

[Rachael]

Wow Cassie is trying to rip open a healed wound by bringing up Will

[Rachael]

Chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ I find it hard to believe that Emma, a nine year old, said "and all those other Institude heads" lol

The twist with Broker Zachariah aka Jem is so beautiful I'm so happy to see my little Jem coming back to life and I can NOT wait for the Jem/Tessa reunion (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Oh and (view spoiler)[ I don't like the whole Maia so conveniently wanting to break up with Jordan right before he died.. It's like it's supposed to make it less tragic but it wasn't. I liked Jordan and I'm sad for everyone who has to deal with the loss of him, except Miai.. And wtf she's pack leader now and just so happen to save her boyfriend Bat? Sketchy (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "Chapter 12 [spoilers removed]"

Yesss you definitely should have!

[Rachael]

Chapter 13 (view spoiler)[ Ohhhhh the Seelie Queen was listening in through the rings! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 13 (view spoiler)[ heck yah! I'm glad Isabelle stood up to Jace about going to the Court alone (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Everyone's dreams were so entertaining! A bit heart breaking because of certain things but entertaining none the less

[Rachael]

Especial Alec's dream (view spoiler)[ because I totally ship Jalec (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Rachael wrote: "Oh and [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I didn't get the pack leader thing. Someone would so easily kill her and take over! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Rachael wrote: "Chapter"

(view spoiler)[ I liked the jem thing too. I'm worried about reading clockwork princess now though because I'm worried it doesn't have a happy ending. (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

I'm thinking that this book is dragging quite a bit... I'm at 46% and (view spoiler)[ nothing has really happened... They're in no way closer to figuring out how to defeat Sebastian, I don't even see Jace really trying to figure out how to use the heavenly fire... (hide spoiler)]

I'm frustrated so far...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I know what you mean, it is pretty slow, I ended up reading a chapter of this, then switching to something else for a bit, then coming back to it. I don't think it helps that its over 700 pages long!

[Tati]

And the chapters are soooo long! So far, this is 2.5 stars for me...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

yep. there's only like ?16? chapters in the whole book I think. I don't think I would have liked it so much if I hadnt taken breaks from it!

[Rachael]

What do you mean there's something wrong with Izzy?!?! I think she's perfect.. She doesn't let anything get in the way of who she loves.. She's like yah I've dated a fey, a warlock, and a vampire what of it?! lol

[Rachael]

Margarita wrote: "Chapter 13 - [spoilers removed]"

I always fangirl while reading about these characters!

[Rachael]

Sarah wrote: "Rachael wrote: "Chapter"

[spoilers removed]"

I think it has a happy yet sad ending... Clockwork Princess is another one where you fall in love with all the characters. Your heart will break and swell with them

[Rachael]

Through chapter 18 - not much going on but fun to experience anyways... the chapters are way too long, I agree. I would rather they switch chapters every time it switches perspective but then there'd be like 100

[Rachael]

Chapter 19 (view spoiler)[ And down goes Raphael.. I wonder if that's one of the 6.. I don't really care about him, he's been nasty since day 1 (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I actually couldn't work out who the 6 were.

[David]

I gave this 5 stars but I mean, I loved this book.

[Rachael]

Was the "betrayal" obvious?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Rachael wrote: "Was the "betrayal" obvious?"

Did that not happen in chapter 10? (view spoiler)[ Meliorn? (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Oh yah DUHHHH the whole Seelie Court, perhaps

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It took me a minute though, it didn't immediately come to mind!

[Tati]

This book is driving me crazy... Is anything going to really happen before the 80% mark??

[Rachael]

Sebastian has a weird twisted sick want for his sister.. he has the wrong idea of love

[Rachael]

How convenient that she had her sword on her the whole time

[Rachael]

Chapter 23 (view spoiler)[ Okay good for her, go Clary but why didn't she do that sooner if she had her sword on her the whole time (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

(view spoiler)[ What a long and wordy death... Just die already stop trying to redeem yourself (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

I guess it's a bit sentimental and the sword "burned out the bad" but idk..

[Tati]

I just want this to be oooooover LOL

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Just think, you have Heir of Fire to look forward to when you finish ☺

[Tati]

Yay!! And I only have to read a little more than an hour to finish this!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Good luck!

[Rachael]

Chapter 24 (view spoiler)[ Uh oh Emma & Julian are gonna become parabatai and then fall in love which is against the rules... I'm hooked now, I can't wait for TDA (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

You guys have heir of fire already?!?

[Tati]

Rachael, yep, we got an ARC from NetGalley

[Rachael]

I'm kinda ready for this to be over as well ugh.. it's dragging

[Rachael]

Chapter 24 (view spoiler)[ Wait but what happened with Simon is so sad (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

LUCKYYYYYY (Napoleon Dynamite voice)

[Rachael]

Oh shoot! I did some research and got a copy too! Do you guys have a buddy read planned for it already?

[Tati]

For Heir of Fire? Yep, tomorrow :)

[Rachael]

Oh darn.. I don't think I can squeeze that in but thanks for making me look for it! :)
