[Tavia]

Chapter 8: (view spoiler)[ I hope Tessa can pull this off and I hope Nate will be at the party. (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

I haven't been reading lately, but I'm back and hoping to finish this book in the next few days

[Lisa]

Then: Hello again! Great, that you're back :)

[Jamie]

Update 2, CH 7 (view spoiler)[Jessie is a BRAT! Ugh. But good with a parasol lol. (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[I had a feeling it would be her brother (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 12: (view spoiler)[ Tessa had her first kiss and it was with Wil! I think Will found out something from the kiss, but what (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 16: (view spoiler)[ Wow they better go into action fast if Nate is correct. I'm excited to see how this book will end! (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 17: (view spoiler)[Wait if De Quiency isn't the magister, then who is?! (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 18: (view spoiler)[ How could Nate do that to Tessa! I mean I know they aren't exactly related, but still. I wouldn't have thought that Mortmain was the Magister. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

CH 10 (view spoiler)[Finally we get to seeing Magnus! A favorite character always! (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Ch 14 (view spoiler)[Love Jem's insight into Will (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Done (view spoiler)[Some good twists in this! Things I didn't see coming. (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ How can it end on a cliffhanger like that?! What is Will going to say? I think it definitely has something to do with Tessa. I also feel a love triangle of some sort coming on. I hope we get more Answers as to who Tessa and her parents really are. (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda Setasha]

starting this today!

[Amanda Setasha]

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[I wasn't too fond of the opening bit. However once Will shows up to rescue Tessa I started to like it a little more. As a TMI fan, I appreciate all the details being described again - because technically it's better written in this, should that even make a hint of sense. (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda Setasha]

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[ I feel weird that I like Will more than Jem. I know most people like Jem more... I appreciate Will's sass. He vaguely reminds me of Jayce except losing most of the bad boy angle. (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda Setasha]

Chapter 12
(view spoiler)[ That kiss had me screaming and I hated the way that Will ended it. Oh my god.... (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda Setasha]

End
(view spoiler)[I wasn't expecting Nathaniel to be a bad guy at the end of that... And the way Will acted to Tessa in the end broke my heart. (hide spoiler)]

[Greer]

Yes!!! I'm all ready.

[Ashy Khaira]

Chapter 1-4 (view spoiler)[ when i read the book i cant stop laughing,the first thing that came to my mind was will could very well be jace's twin.i was kinda mad that tessa got tricked and kept prisoner by the dark sisters,but somehow i felt something was wrong,which tessa should have realized herself....like why would he ask her to get down in a different place altogether unless he was coerced to.will saves tessa and the way he acts makes me think of an entertainer of sorts before bringing her back to the institute to help her heal (hide spoiler)]

[Ashy Khaira]

Chapter 5-8 (view spoiler)[ tessa goes shopping with jessamine and seeing what jessamine says about the shadowhunters who are housing her and care for her make me hate her despite her being one of the nephilim.in this few chapters,we find out that the vampire de quincey whom they thought of as an ally is actually going against them in secret and camille,their informant comes up with the plan that tessa should go in her place.makes me add list of the people i hate in the book grow longer lol (hide spoiler)]

[Greer]

Chapter 1-4 (view spoiler)[that first chapter was hard for me just to get thru, but after that it got better. The Dark Sisters are freaky.. and I agree Tessa can't figure out something is up? I already knew it was way too odd, why would your brother send someone for you and not give you a heads up and who the hell is the Magister? It's interesting the religious term in this story (keeping my eye out for more) the Shadowhunters are Nephilim the offspring of angels and humans at least that's the dictionary definition. Having to wrap my head around that a bit, but I'm enjoying this book. (hide spoiler)]

[Greer]

Yes I've only gotten to one more chapter but I'm already swooning
for Jem, hate Jassamine, love Charlotte and Henry and really enjoy Will's snarky attitude. I think we just met all the main characters in that one little chapter.

[Ashy Khaira]

hahahaa yes we did,its like jessamine is soooo ungrateful,like why does she feel the need to be so mean to the people who care for her,and on top of it all to hate all downworlders and abuse tessa for then wanna use tessa to get out of the house

[Ashy Khaira]

[Ashy Khaira]

Chapter 9-12 (view spoiler)[ i cant seem to stop laughing about the whole phospor incident,everyone being so convinced it will multiply the beam of the wichlight,but it ended up somehow setting the place on fire and turning off the lights.thats the second time for poor henry.it makes me wonder what is jems illness they speak of and i so hope he dont die,and i have to wonder if jem likes tessa the same way will does at this moment.and again....the feeling of wanting gabriel to be struck down by lightning is back (hide spoiler)]

[Ashy Khaira]

Chapter 13-16 (view spoiler)[ i loved the way tessa finally told will off and the way he was horrified.it was good to see him being kicked off his pedestal by a girl.we find out the truth about nate and i feel that tessa is too forgiving of her brother,i understand her protective instinct,but there is a limit to forgiving when what he did was as good as selling his sister up to death just so he could fund his gambling in a way (hide spoiler)]

[Ashy Khaira]

Finished (view spoiler)[ i never expected such a turn of events,surprised how mortmain turned out to be the magister.how did he know who was the most powerful?hating nate all the more as i see how he betrays tessa in such a manner when all she does is love him n how he caused the death of their aunt.cant wait for the next book (hide spoiler)]

Reading from the 15th of March 2019

*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

[Natalia]

Chapter 1-7 (view spoiler)[ Is it weird that I prefer Jem to Will? Will is really funny, but also sort of a jerk and Jem is the total opposite, he's really sweet (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ Jessamine is so annoying and mean. I get that she doesn't want to be a shadiwhunter, but I really can't stand her (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

Chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ Magnus showed up!! I had forgotten about that. (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ Poor Jem, that's horrible. From a really young age he has known that he's going to die and the thing that has been keeping him alive is also slowly killing him. Imagine being 12 and learning something like that.
(hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

Chapter 18 (view spoiler)[ I hate her brother, he's selfish, spoiled, weak and cares only for himself (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

[Claire]

I'll be starting this one within 24 hours!

[Claire]

Chapter 4
(view spoiler)[Victorian London is such a great setting, I just love all the gorgeous fancy aesthetic mixed up with the awful stuff like crime and the underworld. I'm so happy to be back in this world :D (hide spoiler)]

Spoiler for Clockwork Prince (view spoiler)[It was so sad seeing how Will just shut down after Tessa was nice to him 😭 (hide spoiler)]

[Claire]

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[It's really cool how we get characters with such differing views and opinions who are on the same side. Charlotte would be considered reasonably progressive even for today's standards whereas Jessamine is staunchly traditional and unapologetic about it. (hide spoiler)]

I actually feel like this book reads far better as a reread than reading it for the first time.

[Jamie]

Starting today! Sorry I am late.

[Claire]

No worries Jamie!

Chapter 15
(view spoiler)[Jem my poor baby 😭

The brotherly love between Will and Jem is so sweet, I love how protective and trusting they are of each other. (hide spoiler)]

[Eva Luna]

I'm also a bit late, sorry!
including chapter 4/20% of the Audiobook
(view spoiler)[I don't really like Tessa's mindset about women fighting so far, the whole 'Women can't fight' and 'Woman don't have those feelings' and 'She doesn't fight like the men do, right?'. I just don't like those, women can fight if they want to and be damn good at it! :) (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I totally agree with you, this book has so much diversity when it comes to opinions and beliefs. So interesting since they are all on the same side. (hide spoiler)]

[Claire]

Finished!
(view spoiler)[Dun dun duuuuuun that was an exciting ending! Very twisty and diabolical but with plenty of (maybe too many) hints along the way. For some reason I thought Mortmain wasn't revealed as the Magister until the next book, my memory sucks.

And yay Church is here!
(hide spoiler)]

Spoiler for Clockwork Prince (view spoiler)[It pains me so much to see Will purposely behave like an asshat, poor baby 😭 (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Claire wrote: "Chapter 4

Spoiler for Clockwork Prince [spoilers removed]"

I agree with the setting. I don't get to delve there very often

[Jamie]

Clockwork AngelCh 3 (view spoiler)[Mrs Black and Mrs Dark sure were disturbing! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I am loving the cast. Unsure of my thoughts on Will and Jessamine. I am curious about Jem. (hide spoiler)] -up to Ch 7

[Claire]

@Jamie - I see that you've already read all of The Mortal Instruments! I'm very interested in seeing what you think of this series since you know some related stuff that happens later in the timeline 👀

[Jamie]

Haha I am already curious with the names (view spoiler)[and of course some reoccurring characters (hide spoiler)] of characters and trying to piece a timeline of connections.

[Jamie]

Unfortunately I will be a bit slow at this as it is a physical copy I have and I am sick so it is hard to focus for very long. So I will apologize for that now.
