LMAO WAIT WHAT?

[Aly]

Sophie Turner (from Game of Thrones) narrates in this and she has a British accent. I don't understand, pretty much all the characters are from New York

Yes! I hope you like it!

[Aly]

ch 13 (view spoiler)[ Ooh Brother Zachariah is back to Jem! I'm so happy. Also poor Mark, I hope he gets free of the fae. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 20 (view spoiler)[ Raphael is dead too?? The core group better not die I swear. And I want Magnus and Alec to reunite! This is killing me, I need to know how it ends (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Finished (view spoiler)[ What an ending geez! Simon is human again and lost his memories. But Magnus gave some back and he's going to the Shadowhunter academy so it's all okay I guess?

I'm glad Clary met Tessa and that Tessa finally got to be with Jem. Now I'm all fired up to see more of Emma and Julian in the Dark Artifices!
P.S. Malec is back baby! (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

Ch 6 (view spoiler)[So far so it's promising :) She explained the world better in this one. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 12 (view spoiler)[They found her brother! And Will & Tessa kissed!! (hide spoiler)]
Ch 18 (view spoiler)[So if that vampire wasn't the Magister, who is he? Also what the hell is wrong with Tessa's brother... (hide spoiler)]
Finished - (view spoiler)[I liked this book so much! More than the first trilogy for sure. I'm shipping Tessa & Will but again, I'm afraid of what's to come.. (hide spoiler)]

totally agree that this series was better than the Jace/Clary series.

[Kim]

ok back into this one!

36% (view spoiler)[ yo Julian getting rid of his emotions is killing me slightly. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Nice Kim! I'm going to start that trilogy soon hopefully

[Alaina]

Ch 3: (view spoiler)[Can everyone please leave the "Jace & Clary are 'siblings'" train? It's annoying and fake news. NO ONE IS THAT ATTRACTED TO A SIBLING. EVER. Unless we are back in the decade where cousins married one another.. #grossAF (hide spoiler)]
Ch 12: (view spoiler)[Lmaoo everyone seems to have someone or be with someone. EVERYONE BUT SEBASTIAN. THAT'S RIGHT YOU PSYCHO - STAY LONELY. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 16: (view spoiler)[At some point.. some one has to be thinking - put a tracker on Simon.. or keep him on a leash? I don't know but the guy is ALWAYS in trouble. (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[I feel like I need to punch someone every time sibling or brother is mentioned.. (hide spoiler)]

HAHA yes! That's what I was thinking of!

[aarja]

Started !!

Chapter 1-6: (view spoiler)[ So I am liking it so far, and the Shadow World has more things to know of, which I didn't know in TID. But sometimes, Clary is so annoying. I mean - 'sexist pigs'?!

And then there are SO MANY things ripped off from Harry Potter. {Spoilers for HP ahead}

Like the Forsaken and Inferno (or whatever the army of the dead people are called}.
And then Valentine has the Circle, while Voldemort has the Death Eaters.
And the Institute, and Hogwarts?
And the thing that is surprising the MOST: Like Harry finds out Mrs. Figg is a squib, here we have the witch (Madam Dorothea) knowing everything about them. Wow.


So I don't really hate the book, but for now, my rating is 3 stars. (hide spoiler)]

[Kim]

Queen of Darkness 56% (view spoiler)[ ooo other dimension/world! Very cool! (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[aarja]

Chapter 6-10: (view spoiler)[OH MAN. THAT IS-
Valentine & Jocelyn? Luke? UNBELIEVABLE.
There. I said it.

(hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Vampires, scones, and Edmund Herondale (view spoiler)[ I liked seeing Will's parents and how they got together. Magnus is pretty funny and snarky. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

The Rise of Hotel Dumort (view spoiler)[It was nice seeing Will, Tessa, and Jem again. I'm looking forward to their children's books later. I do think this is a bit boring though (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

What to Buy the Shadowhunter Who Has Everything (view spoiler)[ I like hearing how much Magnus loves Alec and vice versa.
I think some of these stories are too long and could be a lot shorter. But I do like learning about Magnus (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Finished (view spoiler)[ Well those voicemails were so sad, Malec is the best couple! I do like that Isabelle got so many people to call though.
(hide spoiler)] these were informative and had some funny moments, but I think they could have been shorter.

[Kim]

100% (view spoiler)[ the ending was intense, like i feel like things escalated really quickly! i did not see that battle coming but it was great! i know that sounds dark but the book needed that level of action. the ending is pretty well written considering all the side stories that needed neatening. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 4: (view spoiler)[

Psycho and the Queen? Gross. So gross. MY EYES! (hide spoiler)]
Ch 9: (view spoiler)[WAIT WHAT? Why are they buried alive? Yeah.. don't sign me up to be a silent sister. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 13: (view spoiler)[It's about damn time that someone stood up to Jace and his ideas.. So thankful for Izzy. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 20: (view spoiler)[I mean.. okay.. I won't accept his death or anything but if Cassandra has any other ideas of murdering someone else ... I will not be okay. (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[fjdflajfldjfldksajdal this series is something guys. So many happy feelings right now. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 7 -(view spoiler)[ We finally learned about his curse (hide spoiler)]
Ch 17 - (view spoiler)[ I can't say I'm sad that Nate is dead. Poor Jim, he got friend-zoned :( (hide spoiler)]
Ch 18 - (view spoiler)[He was never cursed! At least there isn't an issue about breaking it now. I love Charlotte & Henry so much. I loved that they finally really talked about their feelings. Also, Jim proposed ?! I thought it was the end of the love triangle when she friend-zoned him but apparently not. I love him & want him to be happy so I'm not mad but it's also sad for Will. (hide spoiler)]
Finished - (view spoiler)[That speech from Will <3 And Charlotte is pregnant :D Also, his sister showed up and I really want book 3. (hide spoiler)]

Okay, I have to admit I was a bit bored at times in this book so it took me a while to listen to it but the last few hours made up for it. I was completely hooked as I was scared someone might die...

The last book is so crazy and the end almost killed me. I hope you enjoy it!

[aarja]

Chapter 10 - 20: (view spoiler)[Yay! We finally get Magnus!

Whoa, I didn't expect that. A love triangle?! I am off.

Why didn't I see that coming?! Oh I did. Hodge!

And wait... so Valentine wants to kill downworlders - which includes werewolves - and Luke is a werewolf AND in the Circle so won't Valentine kill him? Interesting. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "What Really Happened in Peru: [spoilers removed]"

Haha that one is pretty hilarious

[Alaina]

Vampires, Scones, and Edmund Herondale: (view spoiler)[I can't.. I literally can't right now. The guy who screamed "THE MAHOGANY!" reminded me of the caterpillar/butterfly guy in A Bug's Life. I'm dying in a fit of giggles right now.

I can't unthink it or unsee it now Aly. I'm still dying.

Saving Raphael Santiago: (view spoiler)[I'M NOT CRYING.. YOU ARE CRYING. My poor baby Raphael is just making me so sad and it's all bittersweet seeing his friendship with Magnus. (hide spoiler)]
