The Mortal Instruments series By Cassandra Clare - Restarting November 8th 2018 with book 6

[Maddie]

Honestly it just feels like everything's a spoiler because I can't remember XD

[Natalie]

Fair enough XD

[Maddie]

I just need to actually finish this series so I can get rid of the books!

Chapter 12: (view spoiler)[Hints at "Brother Zachariah" going to see Tessa, but he doesn't want to until the war is over. Boooo. I want to see Tessa and "Brother Zachariah" reunited :/
--
Maia's now officially in charge of the pack - in Luke's absence at least. Rufus did NOT last long :P
--
This whole "The Carstairs owe the Herondales" thing... is has to have something to do with Will (Herondale) and Jem (Carstairs), and thus TID, right? It HAS to! I mean, wasn't Jem only alive for as long as he was because of Will, considering his... "issue"? (I'm attempting to avoid TID spoilers, okay? :P)
--
...I'm not sure going through the Seelie Court in order to get to Edom is a good idea... Y'know, considering the whole "Sebastian and the Faerie Queen are sleeping together" thing ._.

Chapter 18: (view spoiler)[The ruined city is Alicante? O.o
—
So apparently Tessa and the other warlocks of the Spiral Labyrinth are going to come to the rescue? How?
—
They’re in an alternate dimension? :o One in which the Shadowhunters LOST the first battle against the demons, and thus were completely wiped out, allowing for the demons to completely take over and destroy the world? And this is basically want Sebastian wants to do to the world they came from... that’s nice 8’D
—
Really, Jace? REALLY? You should have listened to Simon - it was so obviously a trap! Idiot!
—
Huh. I figured they would’ve used the purified water or something in that cave to cleanse the demon poison but nope - magic daylighter powers instead! XD (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I really don't know what you're talking about XD Goes to show my focus :p

[Natalie]

Clearly XD but hey, you WERE just reading it to have it be over and done with 😛

[Natalie]

Chapter 23: (view spoiler)[Okay, what the fuck. Simon saving the day is awesome, I’ll grant you that... but stealing all his memories of essentially this entire series and everything that happened in it? Making him forget his girlfriend and his best friend basically since BIRTH? If this is the end of it for Simon I’m going to be HELLA PISSED because he is probably the best character in this whole damn series :/ (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

He definitely is the best character!

Yeah XD I really hope I like Dark Artifices more! I'm going to try and focus for that! Might even read the physicals XD

[Natalie]

Finished!

Epilogue: (view spoiler)[And first of all, does an epilogue really need to be THAT LONG? :P I mean holy crap! It's already been so long since the "climax" of the novel and it's like it just keeps going and going and going... @_@
--
The Mortal Instruments is a terrible name for a band. Though admittedly, better than some of the other names they've come up with.
--
Wait... so Simon's going to become a Shadowhunter? But how the heck is Magnus getting Simon's memories back to him anyways? Didn't Asmodeus... uhh... eat them? How does this work exactly? As glad as I am that Simon's not just going to be this "lost" character no longer mentioned except in passing... there's clearly some things that are not being explained enough!
--
And we FINALLY got a scene with Tessa! Glad that was actually included after all this damn build-up. But not telling Jace that she knew/knows his family? Rude.
--
"ZACHARIAH" STOLE CHURCH. THIS IS AMAZING.
--
And we have some hints at what may be the villains in The Dark Artifices... pissed off faeries maybe? :P (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I really hope they don't connect, these series, otherwise I won't understand TDA -_-
But yeah see my rages about the epilogue XD

Btw I'm up to Cherub 3, will finish that today, and will start and finish 4 tomorrow.

[Natalie]

I mostly just want to see more of "Zachariah" honestly, because he was one of my favourites in TID ;D

Oh my gosh I know. Epilogues do NOT need to be that long, jeez.

You're that far already? :o I'm WAY behind 8'D

[Maddie]

Ah yeah, I can't remember TID either -_- Even though it is more interesting than TMI. I think I just need to read them as physical, as audio goes in one ear out the other.

The audios are around 6-7hr long, so they're pretty short. And with my 3x speed and all my Candy Crush lives XD

[Natalie]

That's probably a good reason for me to read physical then, otherwise I would likely have the same issue :P

That's not that bad honestly o.O Hopefully it means they're a quick read for me! (...hopefully...)

[Maddie]

Yeah they're super quick reads XD

I'm going to have to have ages to read TDA. They're so huge.
