The Mortal Instruments discussion
Excerpts from CoFA
Hm, I don't think it'll be Simon and Isabelle. There's actually no doubt that Simon should be on the cover, though. This book revolves around him and what happens to him. Jace and Clary are just an added bounus. ^_^ Did you know that Cassie's publishers orginally called the book City of Simon? Actually, this book came from Cassie's idea for a graphice novel. I think we're lucky that she decided the make it into a book. ^_^
I know, it's gonna be sweet. I love Simon, and the whole exploration of Alec and Magnus is going to be legendary! Who knows, she may make the series into chronicles! :D More books to come, fingers crossed, but I'll be ecstatic with just COFA
I know! I definately can't wait for the Alec/Mangus. I heard they're going on vacation to Paris and the area around there, and they send back pictures to Jace and Clary. It's supposed to be really funny. ^_^ I'm pretty sure she's not going to do another one after CoFA. There was this video... I posted it once before, but I forget where it was.
I know, the first few pages were amazing. Magnus in a Sari? Priceless. I'm jus happy the tohers are getting some page time, rather than focusing solely on Clary and Jace's relationship. I wanna see more Simon and Izzy. I love that girl.
i really don't know who's gonna be on the cover with Simon, but who do u guys think will be tempted by darkness?!!
I dunno, I don't think so. But I think that he'll have to deal with some pretty heavy stuff. For one, he's a vegetarian, but he also has to drink blood to live. That's got to mess with your head. that upset me so much! It's just so sad. And I asked Cassie on Twitter, and she says he does talk about it, so yay!
I think it has to be Simon. The books about him. He's the daylight vampire/he probably be tempted to be bad.
yeah i felt so bad for him in CoA, actually i think i might cry for him while reading CoFA. poor guy has the Mark of Caine on him AND he's a Daylighter who everyone wants!! he's gonna be so lonely like Magnus was before Alec =( but i wouldn't think it's him. Cassie would never do something like that to a character she likes so much! plus he's already on the dark side so it wouldn't really make sense. it's probably one of the shadowhunters!!
Maybe the actual summary would be helpful- Lemme post it.City of Fallen Angels takes place after the events of City of Glass. It splits its focus between Jace and Clary and Clary’s best friend, Simon, and how he adjusts to life as a vampire, but it’s still an ensemble-cast story, and all the characters from the Mortal Instruments series appear in it: Jace, Isabelle, Alec, Magnus, Luke, Jocelyn, Maia, and many more. (It even helps to have read The Clockwork Angel before you read CoFA, because some of the characters from the ID series do show up in it. However, it isn’t required.) In City of Fallen Angels, someone’s killing the Shadowhunters who used to be in Valentine’s Circle and leaving their bodies around New York City in a manner designed to provoke hostility between Downworlders and Shadowhunters. Internecine warfare among vampires is ripping the Downworld community apart, and only Simon — the Daylighter who everyone wants on their side — can decide the outcome; too bad he wants nothing to do with Downworld politics. Meanwhile Jace and Clary investigate a mystery that has deeply personal consequences for them — consequences that may strengthen their relationship, or rip it apart forever. Love, blood, betrayal and revenge: the stakes are higher than ever in City of Fallen Angels.
Alright, now that I look it over, it's not the real summary, but it's close enough.
yeah i already knew all that, but that doesn't show any proof of any character being tempted by the dark side!!
Well, I was thinking it was whoever was killing the former members of the Circle. Maybe it was someone they knew, and they had a chocie to make? I dunno.
ooh i see, there's a chance for Amatis to turn bad i guess. possibly!
Yeah, I think Amatis would do that- y'know, because she learned of how Valentine cut Jace of of his mother's stomach (Gross much?) and how he didn't really give any regaurds to Stefan (was that how is name was spelled?). I'm trying really hard to think of who would have such a grudge against them. It has to be someone who's life was just utterly destryoed by Valentine and the Circle. Hm...
i think that maybe simon and Clary cause there both the main characters in this one !!!!i still hope for Clary Jace one tho!!!!!!!!!!
Naw, I'm pretty sure that Clay is just a side character, but you never know. It sounds like they have a big part in the end, though, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
we shall see. from what i heard it was split 50/50 between clary and simon
nah Clary's still pretty big in CoFA! it's half Simon and half Clary/other characters
Well in the sort of summary I posted, this is what it says: "It splits its focus between Jace and Clary and Clary’s best friend, Simon, and how he adjusts to life as a vampire, but it’s still an ensemble-cast story, and all the characters from the Mortal Instruments series appear in it: Jace, Isabelle, Alec, Magnus, Luke, Jocelyn, Maia, and many more."Hope that helps.
Haha, thanks, but I didn't write it. I just copied and pasted, lol. ^_^
Oh. My. Gosh. YES! Thank you sooooooo much Ronna. You're a life saver. Seriously, that'll keep me satisfied until the book actually comes out. Still, the mob idea is quite appealing... if we're going, I call a chakhram as my weapon of choice. ^_^
Wow, okay, seems I replied to something on the first page. Er... I guess I didn't realize that this was the same forum, so... the one above was a reply to something on the first page. Hehe. Sorry!
Wait, not for CoFA, right? You're talking about the Infernal Devices, yeah? For a second there I though you were talking about CoFA... and now I'm talking to myself. ^_^
August teaser: Jocelyn’s green eyes softened. “I did notice he wasn’t here, Clary. I just didn’t know if you’d want to talk about it.”
“I mean,” Clary went on doggedly, “do you think there’s something Jace could do to *make* you like him?”
“Yes,” Jocelyn said. “He could make you happy.” She touched Clary’s face lightly, and Clary clenched her hand, feeling the bell press into her skin.
“He does make me happy,” Clary said. “But he can’t control everything in the world, Mom. Other things happen — “ she fumbled for words; how could she explain that it wasn’t Jace making her unhappy, but what was happening to him, without revealing what that was?
Oooooooh! Aw, a sweet mother daughter moment. ^_^ I'm getting seriously pumped. Yesterday I went into Barnes and Noble and read the first chapter of CoFA out of the back of the paperback edition of CoG. It looks really good! Anyone else read it?
I really really hope she doesnt break them up or for that matter kill one of them off, I hope she doesnt I love clary and jace and everything they went through in the first 3 books comeon hope she does not do that to us, serious just think back what they went through in the prev 3 books, (simon, thinking there brother/sister, jace/clary moving on to others, then jace being killed) I really Really hope and im with you all to egg her house if she does!!!! ;)
this is so cool that Cassie made another book to a GREAT series. SOOOOOO COOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Is there gonna be a new love interest between Jace and Clary?"Like "Is someone going to come between them?" Hmmm.... in a sense.
this got me excited, i just love drama :D
Yeah, I know. I would completely despise the person that got in between Jace and Clary. The only question is: Who is it?
i dont think its a person i think its some sort of problem
Maybe it's not a who so much as a what. Someone proposes a problem, and they struggle to deal with that. I don't think it's someone trying to jump his bones or anything. I think it's more of a "oh crap! Now what do we do?" things. It's probably someone in the Calve though. Or someone dead?
Oh, theory: Clary brought Jace back from the dead. The
clave find out. He confronts her, and asks why she let him live and Max die.
Max is the problem.
Probably nonsense. But so is my life.
Hm, no Mairead, you're making plenty of sense. Or maybe it makes sense to me because I'm a little off my rocker... but, anywho, I think you're on to something. I do know that the Silent Brothers (The new generation) confront them about it... so, maybe it's an after effect that tests their love. Or something like that. I'm not sure, it kinda just sounds like I'm babbling. Oh well. ^_^
Nothing wrong with Babbling. Sure, I do it all the time! Life's so much more interesting when people tend not to make sense. :P
It does, doesn't it? ^_^ I'm betting that's how the best ideas came to be. I mean, there had to be a little crazy talk in the conversation Thomas Edison had with whoever when he was explaining his electricity idea, yes? ^_^ And, babbling probably brings up with funniest things. Me and my friend are still discussing that teleporter. ^_^
lovely. My friend and I sent 5 hours discussing the Hunger Games the other days, but segued between that, and smacking the guy who hasn't invented the time machine yet. I also discussed the thought of it raining me, because it's raining men was on the radio....I'm easily distracted.
Ah, I love the Hunger Games. I need to know. Are you Team Gale or Team Peeta? I'm Team Gale all the way! Haha, sounds like some of my conversations. I could be talking with my friend and I could suddenly notice we have a new dinning room table or something. It's kinda funny. ^_^ I guess we're all a bit ADD, yes? ^_^
♪It's raining men, hallelujah!♪Bahaha I love weird songs like that!

ok. I hav 2 said these re the bst books ever...so who cares nd of course They re gonna end together . Jace nd Clary *cheers,cheers*

Sometimes they do thou, but they re not suppose so...anywy. WE just hav 2 wait and see jiji =)
Although, I kinda wish Simon had his own cover!
