Agreed. And also I thought it was a little bizarre that (view spoiler)[ Maia was about to break up with Jordan. We didn't get any indication of that in the previous book. Seemed out of left field (hide spoiler)]

She's going to be one of the main characters on The Dark Artices."

What's that?

MUST KEEP READING. WILL STAY AWAKE"

What horrid way?

[Paula]

I made it through Chapter 9. It is only now starting to get interesting. It has been really hard for me to make it through this book.

I think I missed that part. (view spoiler)[ Why are the buried alive? (hide spoiler)]

Wait when was she listening? They still work?

Yeah, they did a pretty bad job.

Who is JEM? I liked the dream too

What's with all the new characters in this book? Are they setting up for another series that comes after? Other than The Bane Chronicles

Rachael wrote: "Chapter 23 [spoilers removed]"

Think she needed the element of surprise

[Paula]

Rachael wrote: "Chapter 24 [spoilers removed]"

Yeah saw that coming a mile away. haha

[Paula]

Rachael wrote: "Can someone confirm if [spoilers removed]"

I don't think she did. If she did, then I missed it.

[Paula]

Rachael wrote: "I'm done too and I feel the same way... I'm also confused.. There was supposed to be 6 main character deaths and I can only think of 3.. There was also supposed to be two weddings. Either I got bad..."

(view spoiler)[ I think I missed some of the deaths too, but the second wedding was probably Clary's wedding in her dream.

Deaths I can think of:

1. Sebastian/ Johnathan
2. Raphael
3. Jordan
4. Amatis? Does she count? Not really a main character.

(view spoiler)[ Great point about Clary and Jace embracing their passions (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Rachael wrote: "Chapter 19 [spoilers removed]"

I was just starting to like (view spoiler)[Raphael, I guess that should've been a sign (hide spoiler)]

I think you are correct Paula on your wedding guess. As for the deaths: (view spoiler)[ I would add fairy queen, Meliorn, and I would keep Amatis on the list. But I don't know who else... (hide spoiler)]

Ahh okay. Thanks! I think maybe she exaggerated a bit by calling some of them "main characters" haha (view spoiler)[ When did the Seelie queen die? Really not sure how I missed/ forgot that. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

Prologue (view spoiler)[ exciting start to the book! Sebadtian and the infernal cup ate definitely going to be a problem! Interested yo see more of emma (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

Chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ so many people are dying already and it's only chapter 8!! This makes me very nervous! I wonder what Maia needed to tell Jordan, could she be pregnant? I'm also worried about this meal that the seelie queen is hosting - it could be a trap! (hide spoiler)]

[Michelle]

Hey, sorry I'm late! Had some trouble with my Internet but shouldn't be a problem now ^.^

Rachel wrote: "Prologue [spoilers removed]"
(view spoiler)[ I really liked it that it started right where City of Lost Souls left off but I got a bit confused at the beginning with so many new characters. (hide spoiler)]

I'm not as far as chapter 8 yet, I'm reading too many books right now but I'll try to catch up :D.

[Rachel]

No problem Michelle :) hope you're enjoying it so far :) I'm about half way through

[Rachel]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ Sebastian is a really complex character! In some ways he's so evil and insane - but then it's as if he's constantly craving a family, and the approval of Jocelyn and Clary (hide spoiler)]

[Michelle]

Chapter 5: (view spoiler)[ I can't believe Jordan died JUST.LIKE.THAT. I really really realllllly liked him & now he's dead, so out of the blue! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 6: (view spoiler)[ The whole everything-that's-wrong-with-the-world-is-my-fault is getting kinda annoying... ok VERY annoying, at least to me. In past books this was kinda happening too but it's starting to feel excessive & annoying. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 8: I thought that too!
Chapter 9: (view spoiler)[ Also, Clary getting angry because her parents want to put a guard to look out for her is VERY annoying too! I mean, there's a guy out there who wants to kidnap her & the way she's responding made me kinda angry, is it just me? -------
I really like Sebastian, so much better villain than Valentine & Lilith. I even like him better than Jace & Clary. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 10: I just found another thing that's annoying me, I know it sounds like I'm liking the book but I'm actually really enjoying it(: (view spoiler)[ anyway the thing bothering me is when these 16-17 years old start explaining what's love. I wouldn't mind if this wasn't Clary's first boyfriend, who was her fake-brother! (hide spoiler)]

[Michelle]

Chapter 11: Last two things that I'm finding annoying I promise. I really don't mean to complain but the good things about this book are great as expected & I don't have much to say hehe.. (view spoiler)[The first one is that the Mexican guy has bad grammar, I'm Mexican & I'm sure my grammar is not 100% good but it bothers me that this guy doesn't speak English ok and the other latino dude does. It's just so cliche & it hits kinda close to home hehe.... (hide spoiler)]
(view spoiler)[The last thing is very little, it was a quote. The borders of Idris will be sealed, closing it away from the rest of the world. I don't know, the shadowhunters were always making clear that their world is not the same than the mundane world & now suddenly there's just one big world. I thought it was weird, what do you think? (hide spoiler)]

[Kiara]

I'm joining in...~

[Rachel]

Chapter 21 (view spoiler)[ it all seemed to go too simple then! I think it will all kick off before the end! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

Chapter 23 (view spoiler)[ poor simon!! (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Can I get this changed to July 1st? Please and thank you!

[Abi]

Reading from July 1st 2016

[Dr. Andy]

Thanks Abby!

[Jordan]

are we going to have a schedule or would you prefer to read at our own pace?

[Dr. Andy]

You can pretty much read at your own pace. It will be a little random for me since I have a couple classes going on, but I like talking about books so I'll be around. I usually aim for like five posts throughout the book if that helps. This one will probably be more since it's so long!

[Dr. Andy]

I'm also trying to get an audio version because then I can listen to it in the car and while at work :)

[Jordan]

Okay, that sounds good! I'll pretty much check in when something interesting happens or every hundred pages or so.

[Courtney]

I will join :)

[Dr. Andy]

Awesome Jordan. Welcome Courtney :)

[Dr. Andy]

Hey everyone! Will be starting a tad late due to some class homework but I'll be here soon :)

[Dr. Andy]

Got through the Prologue and Chapter 1. I think I'm going to have to go look up a summary of what happened in the last two books, because I remember nothing! I forgot Jace had the heavenly fire in his body! :O

(view spoiler)[ I like Emma so far, I'm excited to hear more from her and read Lady Midnight later this month. I hope Magnus and Alec get back together I loved them!! Still hate Sebastian. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Shav]

I'm in too!

[Jordan]

I started late as well! Just finished Chapter One.

I had the exact same thought about Emma and Lady Midnight. Magnus and Alec were my favourite couple so I will be heartbroken if they don't get back together!

[Shav]

Which series have you guys already read of Cassandra Clare?

[Jordan]

I've read TID and obviously I'm just finishing TMI, you?

[Shav]

I read TID and I'm finishing TMI now

[Dr. Andy]

I've read all of TID and TMI except this one. I'll be reading lady midnight later this month too!

[Jordan]

Just finished chapter 4.

(view spoiler)[ i cannot believe that Meliorn and the Seelie Queen helped Sebastian to attack the Blackthorn's institute! (hide spoiler)]
