The Shadowhunter Chronicles by Cassandra Clare -> Restarting on September 1st, 2020

[Aly]

ch 12 (view spoiler)[ I'm so sad for Jem. He's truly happy that Will loves Tessa because he thinks they can be together after he dies. I don't want him to die!! I will be so upset if he dies I swear.

I am enjoying the Lightwood brothers and their crushes at least (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 19 (view spoiler)[ I'm not surprised that Tessa and Will slept together. They were both so upset about Jem and they've been in love for a while. But Jem!! Say it ain't so! (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

I'm hoping to dive into clockwork angel tomorrow.

[Aly]

Whoo hoo!

[Aly]

Finished Clockwork Princess and I have to say I loved it. By far my favorite book of the Shadowhunter series I've read. (view spoiler)[ Will dying with Tessa and Jem there was beautiful, but I cried for real. Then Tessa and Jem reunite at the end and somehow he's back to a regular Shadowhunter!! I googled it and we find out the details in book 6 of MI. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

you're so ahead of me, ugh. dagger to the heart lol

[Kelly]

Aly is so far ahead I can't even see her lol

Work has been keeping me busy.. and I just rescued a kitten so it might take me longer than anticipated to read the series

Oh cool! So I didn't really understand your ship. Will, or Jem? Also, the epilogue was deadly.

Even I cried. The whole night. So heartbreaking. WILLL!!

I'd pick Will for Tessa if I had to choose, but I love them both so much

A kitten! How sweet :)

[aarja]

I'm not sure about Jem... I have mixed feelings. Though as for the ship, and my book love, it's Will!
People say he is a dick, though I don't think so. I mean, there's more to him :)

[Kelly]

Ch 5 - (view spoiler)[I'm wondering how long she'll stay with Simon before dumping him for Jace.. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 10 -(view spoiler)[ Ok so Simon is a vampire? It's weird, I can't really picture him as one.. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 15 - (view spoiler)[This ritual where Valentin has to kill someone of every race kinda reminds me of the ritual Klaus does in Vampire Diaries (the show) except I loved the show more ^^ (hide spoiler)]
Finished - (view spoiler)[I'm glad Simon stopped the relationship in the end. Also I feel like not much happened in this book even though it's almost 500 pages. Onto the next book :) (hide spoiler)]

I get that (view spoiler)[ it was a lot of character development and showing how in love Clary and Jace are. The last book is great! (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Oo just got notifications that Clockwork Angel and Princess were available for me. Somehow Prince wasn't.

[Aly]

Weird! Hopefully it comes in soon

[Alaina]

LOL weirdly enough, just got it! Will definitely dive into the first book tomorrow!

[Aly]

Crazy! I'm glad you'll be reading them, I hope you love them like I did

[Kelly]

Ch 5 - (view spoiler)[So he's just going to make out with another girl... great. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 10 - (view spoiler)[So Sebastian is either her brother or in league with Valentin, right? I mean with the way the author "hinted" at how wrong it was for her to kiss him..

Also, that scene with Magnus and Alec was cute with Magnus who wanted to meet Alec's family. Before that I felt like we didn't see them enough in the books or maybe I just missed some details. It's possible. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 17 - (view spoiler)[Her mom finally makes an appearance after all this time lmao (hide spoiler)]
Finished - (view spoiler)[The writing definitely isn't the strongest and the characters were so naive and slow to figure out the obvious sometimes. I'm glad it's over (because I like finishing the first trilogy, not because I hated it ^^) (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 3: (view spoiler)[Wow it has been a long ass time since I dove into the Infernal Devices. So far, I'm loving all things Tessa right now. I'm hoping this doesn't change but who knows.. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 9: (view spoiler)[LMAO guys Will is hilarious. The duck quote will stick with me forever. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 15: (view spoiler)[Is anyone on team Nate? Or nah? Just don't like that guy.. (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[Hot damn, that is most definitely a cliffhanger and ugh, I need the next book! Luckily for me, I have all the infernal audiobooks right now. ahhhhhhh goodbye world. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 7: (view spoiler)[I feel like 2 weeks isn't enough time to find Mortmain.. but I could be wrong? (hide spoiler)]
Ch 12: (view spoiler)[Ugh, why is Jess being so dumb right now? Not a huge fan of this girl. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 18: (view spoiler)[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so much happened. Like what the what. Will/curse? Tessa being a badass because she might be a demon AND a shadow hunter? UGH, so much is happening to my brain. (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[..I'm not crying, you're crying.. (hide spoiler)]

I knew something was going to happen but I didn't think I was going to get stabbed repeatedly in the heart. Hot damn, that scene, wow..

Will I ever recover? Not sure.

Ha! Even I'm not sure. I didn't reread that series right when I finished it in case I'd find myself wailing all over again. Literally, I sobbed the whole night. Will...I just <3

[Kelly]

I'm scared.

[Alaina]

Kelly wrote: "I'm scared."

I can hold your hand?

[Kelly]

Not sure if it's going to help but thanks!

I'm happy you finished the first trilogy! The Infernal Devices are so good, I hope you love them!

[Aly]

ch 5 (view spoiler)[ Clary and Jace need to have a talk about their fears and reassure each other that they aren't going anywhere.
Also Simon, figure out your issues. Stringing both girls along is not going to work. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 10 (view spoiler)[ Oh snap! I forgot Kyle is Maia's ex, Jordan. I'm glad the girls found out about Simon, he's an idiot for real.

And Jace, what are you doing?? You're killing Clary :( (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 1: (view spoiler)[Welllllll I'm definitely creeped out by all of that - THANKS GABRIEL! Also Benedict is a worm? Lmao.. what the hell is this book going to do to me? (hide spoiler)]
Ch 12: (view spoiler)[Is anyone else freaking out abut Will's dream... or is that just me? (hide spoiler)]
Ch 20: (view spoiler)[Okay maybe I'm just making shit up in my head while listening to this beautiful book.. but did Will get the angel mark because Tess is part demon? Or.... am I like WAY WAY WAY freaaaaaking WAY off? (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[I was no prepared for this ending whatsoever. Why did this series make me go through this emotional roller coaster that I didn't sign up for? My heart is so full and I'm not crying.. you are crying. Okay I'm crying - where's my wine and chocolate? (hide spoiler)]

BUT WHY ALL THE TEARS MAN?

[Aly]

ch 15 (view spoiler)[ Uh oh. Jace is possessed and he kidnapped Clary and now Simon went with Maureen. Also, I hate Magnus and Alec fighting, they are the best couple! (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Finished (view spoiler)[ You think Jace is safe and now he's bound to Sebastian. Nooo! I'm glad Alec and Magnus spoke and I wonder if Alec will become something else so he can live forever and be with Magnus? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 7 (view spoiler)[ When does Jace catch a break? First Lilith was trying to get into his mind and now he has a weird connection to Sebastian and something is going on with his mind again. I just want him to be okay and with Clary, is that too much to ask?! (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 12 (view spoiler)[ I don't think Sebastian is changing, I think he's still evil and just manipulating Clary and Jace.
I do like Maya getting back with Jordan, they're cute.

I'm worried about Alec, please don't do something you'll regret! (hide spoiler)]

Ah. That ending, I'm sure it killed all the fans. I've already lost 4 lives out of 9 because of CC. Ugh.

[Aly]

ch 18 (view spoiler)[ I'm glad Jace was able to come back to himself for a moment and told Clary that Sebastian is lying and still evil.
I hope Simon is okay when they call the angel (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

finished (view spoiler)[ Magnus breaking up with Alec put a dagger in my heart. Please get back together!! Man, I need to start the next book asap (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ugh, catching up on comments and reviews is the worst thing to do EVER... but here I go lol

Ch 7: (view spoiler)[Ugh Jacy and Clary are being annoying - just be together dammit. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 11: (view spoiler)[Hmm hard pass on a demon baby right now (hide spoiler)]
Ch 17: (view spoiler)[Color me intrigued with what's going on with Jace in this book.. but then Simon sneaks up on me and I'm just - wow. What is this book even about right now? Possession? Being God? GIVE ME ANSWERS! (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[Is there any chance Jace can get a refund on that whole being bound to that psycho? Asking for a friend.. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Yay!

[aarja]

Ugh I have a library copy of City of Bones, and I planned that I am gonna read it at the end of Oct.. for the 'suspense' and wait. But now all your thoughts and this thread, I def need to pick it up! Lemme just complete one of the books on my CR lol

Also, I read the sample of Chain of Gold and ugh! I just want ma parents to buy me the whole series, I wanna own it!!!

[aarja]

I seem like a cranky child lol

[Aly]

LOL. I get how you feel, I ended up buying several of the books because the library was too slow.

[aarja]

I know.. you just can't resist when others are so enthusiastic about it 😌
