So sad!!

The next one is Tales from Shadowhunter Academy, which I'm not that excited for since i..."

Woohoo WE GOT THIS! lol

[Alaina]

Starting the Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy now!

[Aly]

I'm almost done with Blood and Ash, then I'll start

[Alaina]

The Whitechapel Fiend: (view spoiler)[I love how everyone is coming to see Simon and help out all the other newcomers. Also, I totally geeked out when Tessa came in. Oh man, I can't believe that I forgot about her being in this! (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

I didn't realize these would all center on Simon's training. I like that more than disjointed stories

Is this your first time reading this?

Yes. After Mortal Instruments #5, I haven't read any of the Shadowhunter books.

Yes. After Mortal Instrume..."

Ohh! I read the ebooks of these before but individually so it's pretty interesting to get them in an audio all together

[Alaina]

The Evil We Love: (view spoiler)[Not sure what to think about Simon at the moment. I just want him and Izzy back together. They were so cute. Also Valentine is a monster. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

The Whitechapel Fiend (view spoiler)[ I feel bad for Simon that he doesn't remember things and people expect things of him, but it also sucks for Isabelle, Clary, and the rest too.
I am glad Simon made friends with George, he's weird but nice (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Yeah, I feel so bad for him and them.

Aly wrote: "Alaina wrote: "

I love her!"

Hahah yes! Same!

[Alaina]

Bitter of Tongue: (view spoiler)[Well, well.. the old Simon is back. He got kidnapped. Yay! Also, The Blackthorns are here! YES! (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "The Evil We Love: [spoilers removed]"

Yep. all that

[Aly]

The Evil We Love (view spoiler)[ When Robert said those terrible things to Michael, I wanted to cry for him. How awful. I hope Robert really is changing because he has a lot to make up for. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Finished: (view spoiler)[oh man this was so much fun. I liked getting to know more about Simon and see him grow throughout the academy! I’m now super excited to dive into the next book of this series! (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "The Evil We Love [spoilers removed]"

OMG YES!

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "Bitter of Tongue: [spoilers removed]"

LOL! He sure did

[Aly]

Bitter of Tongue (view spoiler)[ oh poor Mark! He wants to get back to his family so bad! I hope he gets free. And I hope Aline and Helen can get married like they plan (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "Bitter of Tongue [spoilers removed]"

Omg yes. I so wanted that to happen and screw everyone else.

[aarja]

finished: (view spoiler)[It was good, okay. The last plot twist made no sense. 3 stars for me. Though I really want to read the next book! (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

finished (view spoiler)[ Poor George! He was so sweet and to suffer that horrible death is awful. It was nice that Simon saw his ghost, maybe that means he's at peace? (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "

[Kelly]

[Alaina]

Finished: (view spoiler)[OMG YES LET'S TALK ABOUT GOOD OLE' LUCIE (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Listening to now. I love BD Wong

[Aly]

Part 1 (view spoiler)[ Awh I love domestic Magnus and Alec with their baby. Such a cute family. I feel bad that Ragnor is being compelled, he's a good friend to Magnus (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "
Part 1: [spoilers removed]"

Ooh yeah! I bet they will

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "Part 1 [spoilers removed]"

WHAT? Okay, let me know what it was!

[Aly]

Part 3 (view spoiler)[ I'm glad Tian wasn't actually evil and they freed Ragnor and Magnus. That was crazy that Shinyun turned into a greater demon! I'm sure that will cause problems in the future (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ Awh, what a sweet wedding for Tessa and Jem! I wonder if they'll do something so he doesn't age or if she'll outlive him like she did with Will? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ooo I'll do the same! Try to catch up on some other Brs and then bounce back into this one.

[☘Misericordia☘]

1. Welcome to Shadowhunter Academy
(view spoiler)[
Bring on that toaster!
Q:Simon now felt he had been robbed of critical information by the media. Should he be putting the kitchen knives in his bag? Should he bring the toaster and rig it up as a weapon? (c)
Yeah, packing like a badass to a school is the most important part of the academic experience. I'm already feeling I won't like this guy. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ LOL! I'm literally howling here!
“I imagined the demon realms were fearsome and terrifying, but seems like it was pretty much nonstop nom nom nom.” (hide spoiler)]
(view spoiler)[Simon might be brash but I love the 'dregs' debacle. It's Muggles/Mudbloods all over again and he's vocal about his thoughts. What a relief, an MC that talks and makes sense at the same time! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Gotta love this:
Q:
“Dean Penhallow has decided that she is not going to order fresh food supplies until all this delicious, nutritious soup has been consumed. So I am going to bury this soup in the woods,” (c)
Ah-hah-hah! Yeah, poor dean didn't think to specify who or even what were supposed to consume that soup! (hide spoiler)]

2. The Lost Herondale
(view spoiler)[Q: “You realize you all sound like you’re in some kind of cult, (c) Well, they are. Cultish. A very small and obscure cult.

I like that Simon's Jewish. The Star of David? Yes.
Q: What did it even mean to be Jewish in a universe where angels and demons walked the earth, practiced miracles, carried swords? Was thinking for yourself an activity better suited to a world without any evidence of the divine? (c) I love this line of thinking. (hide spoiler)]

3. The Whitechapel Fiend
(view spoiler)[Q: Simon began to suspect that this fish had not been pickled at all. Someone at the famed Shadowhunter Academy kitchens had attempted to pickle fish—something that took skill and precise adherence to instructions—and had probably just invented a new form of botulism. (c) Surströmming probably. I hate it. (hide spoiler)]

4. Nothing but Shadows
(view spoiler)[ Q: His teachers began calling in sick out of despair. (c) Isn't Matthew a hoot?
Overall, love the story of James and Matthew bailing out of that BS school. (hide spoiler)]
(view spoiler)[Will's definitely good at talking to an anxious kid:
Q:
“Who knows? That is the wonderful thing about making changes and meeting strangers, Jamie. You never know when, and you never know who, but someday a stranger will burst through the door of your life and transform it utterly. The world will be turned upside down, and you will be happier for it.” (c) (hide spoiler)]
5. The Evil We Love
(view spoiler)[That Valentine thing looks like some sect that got started smack middle of the school. Huh? Was no one paying attention to the kiddies? (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

I’m a little sleepy right now so I will look at your comments tomorrow. After some coffee. So they make sense ..hopefully

Alaina wrote: "I’m a little sleepy right now so I will look at your comments tomorrow. After some coffee. So they make sense ..hopefully" Weeelll, I wouldn't be so hopeful about that. After all, this whole series is not conductive to making sense :) Only to laughing out uncontrollably at random. (view spoiler)[They even have lessons about falling out of trees! How about that, Elon Musk?
Lots of fun, this school is. (hide spoiler)]
