I ship Malec more than any other couple of this series

[Alaina]

I hope everyone does.. if not, they are monsters.

Exactly!

[Kelly]

I finally finished the first book. Yay!


Ch 8 - (view spoiler)[She just went into the portal without hesitation.. That's taking the word reckless to another level lol. I'm glad Simon's back. She clearly doesn't seem into him. Also her mom and Luke are both Shadowhunters in exile... interesting. And Luke probably loves her. That's not surprising with the way he was acting when her mom talked to her at the beginning of the book. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 9 - (view spoiler)[Now Simon has a crush on Isabelle. That didn't take long ahah
"Because, she was Valentine's wife." WHAT (hide spoiler)]
Ch 13 - (view spoiler)[Magnus telling Alec to call him was cute. (hide spoiler)]
Finished - (view spoiler)[Valentine is her father but I kind of expected it. Hodge's betrayal surprised me though. And Jace is her brother? Nah I don't believe it. I get what the author tried to do here and if I had read the book when I was younger I probably would have fallen for it ^^ (hide spoiler)]

Clary & Jace could be annoying sometimes but I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. I can't wait to read the next one :)

[Aly]

I'm glad you finished and liked it!

[Kelly]

Me too. I don't know why but I was scared I would be stuck reading books I don't like to get to the good ones. I'm going to start City of Ashes today.

[Kelly]

Are you planning on reading and the Infernal Devices ?

[Aly]

Yes! Next on Clare's recommended order is the Red Scrolls, then Infernal Devices

[Aly]

I started Red Scrolls and I'm kind of surprised that it's listed before the Infernal Devices since you see Tessa and learn about her a bit. I would recommend you read it flipped around.

[Aly]

ch 8 (view spoiler)[ Interesting that we saw Tessa, it's sad that now Will and Jem are dead, since it's been 100+ years.
Also feel bad that every time Alec and Magnus start getting hot and heavy people interrupt them (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 16 (view spoiler)[ It sucks that the shadowhunters are so against warlocks and that Alec is torn between his duty and Magnus. They need a new council that will foster better relations.

I wonder who is behind the cult? (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Starting the red scrolls now! Totally forgot I got the audio lol

[Alaina]

Ch 8: (view spoiler)[Well, shit.. now I'm sad. Damn it Tessa! I'm also a bit bored with everything.. but maybe it's the narrator lol. Or maybe it's because I'm trying to work on the next challenge. Eh, who knows. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "
ch 8 ..."

LOL yeah, they are constantly getting cockblocked

[Alaina]

Ch 16: (view spoiler)[Okay.. fuck these shadowhunters. What is wrong with Magnus? Give me one good reason? 'Cause I have a feeling he has saved so many shadowhunters throughout his damn lifetime. I'm just saying. Also let Alex be happy dammit. I will fight you all. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "ch 16 ..."

Hot damn! I forgot about the cult!

[Alaina]

Ch 24: (view spoiler)[Yeah Magnus, what do you say to death? NOT TODAY! (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 24 (view spoiler)[ I love how sarcastic Magnus is, even when facing death. And how much love he has for Alec, so sweet! (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "Ch 24: [spoilers removed]"

Not today!

[Alaina]

Finished: (view spoiler)[I'm so glad that Magnus is no longer a suspect for the cult, even if he did create in a different past time. I'm also still trying to wrap my mind around his dad though. Alsooooo Magnus and Alec are just so freaking cute. I'm also wondering if Alec finds out the truth in the next book? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "Finished: [spoilers removed]"

Yes, I just adore them!

[Aly]

finished (view spoiler)[ How crazy that Magnus' dad is still alive? And I'm sure Alec will find out, I just hope he isn't angry with Magnus.
Also I'm so happy they got their time together at the end! (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "finished... "

Yeah I'm wondering what's going to happen once this secret comes out.

[Aly]

ch 5 (view spoiler)[ I forgot that Tessa is kidnapped right away! It's so cool that she can shapeshift like that, I'm jealous.
Will is kind of a dick, just like Jace lol (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Dannnnnnng girl. so quick lol. I'm trying to finish the Artemis series right now. On the last book.

[Aly]

I have the other 2 Clockwork books, plus 4-6 of Mortal Instruments from the library so I need to get through them.
Also I looked at the family trees of all these characters and I am so confused. That was a bad idea

[Aly]

ch 10 (view spoiler)[ Oh no Nathaniel! I hope he doesn't die just as she finds him. I'm happy we're getting some Magus whoo! (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

LMAO, note to self - don't do that.

[Aly]

There's so many overlaps and it seems like everyone is related at some point in their tree. Maybe after I've read literally ALL the Shadowhunter books I'll understand?

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "There's so many overlaps and it seems like everyone is related at some point in their tree. Maybe after I've read literally ALL the Shadowhunter books I'll understand?"

Hmm maybe? Or maybe we will just get even more confused lol

[Aly]

ch 15 (view spoiler)[ Oh Jem. How terrible for him. I wonder if they'll be able to cure him? I can't decide if I like Tessa better with Jem or Will (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Finished (view spoiler)[ That really sucks for Tessa that her brother betrayed her. And then the way Will treated her was super shitty. Jace is so like him, it's crazy.
At least Jem is sweet (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 6 (view spoiler)[ Oh Will. He needs to apologize for what he said, otherwise of course Tessa is going to pull away from him.
I like Will's friendship with Magnus, it's crazy seeing Magnus pine for Camille instead of Alec. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 11 (view spoiler)[ Is Jessamine really so stupid to be dating Nate after what he did? He murdered Thomas and turned Tessa over to the Magister. If she thought he was different or something, she's an idiot.
We had some romance between Jem and Tessa! It's definitely a love triangle now (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

AH STOP

[Aly]

Never!

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "Never!"

Why do you hate me? I'm still on hold for the first book of the infernal devices :(

[Kelly]

I'm still listening to City of Ashes... I'm a bit late

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "Aly wrote: "Never!"

I didn't want to wait for the library so I bought the first book if you want to use my Audible

[Aly]

Kelly wrote: "I'm still listening to City of Ashes... I'm a bit late"

No worries, I hope you like it!

[Aly]

ch 16 (view spoiler)[ I'm glad Nate died, what a terrible person he was. Using Jessamine (who's basically delusional) and saying he hates Tessa. And he killed his own mom. I just hope Will is okay now! (hide spoiler)]

lol yeah they are

[Kim]

It broke? Crazy!

[Aly]

finished (view spoiler)[ I almost cried at work when Tessa told Will she was marrying Jem. It's clear she's meant for Will, but how to break it off with Jem when he's so in love with her? And she loves him too. I am broken now (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Why are all the audiobooks by different narrators? It's so frustrating

[Aly]

ch 6 (view spoiler)[Ugh that Wayland consul is a dick. Blackmailing Gabriel and Gideon into spying on Charlotte. I'm glad they aren't going to tell him what actually happens.

And the dad Lightwood turned into a demon worm and they killed him! Wow, I did not see that coming. (hide spoiler)]
