Madeleine | 1065 comments I dont think age 16 is sociably acceptable anywhete


Courtney I'd hate if Clary and Jace eloped or something. They'd have to get Magnus to be the priest.

Scott, theres no such thing as making this too long. So long as she keeps the storyline fresh, it should last for a while

Madeleine | 1065 comments My turn....

Why is she the only one who puts the nephilim in a good light? Every one esls (hush, hush, angelfire, etc.) More or less says theyre bad from the start

Well...you could say that with other mythical beings. Vampires for example. Some make them horrifying creatures, like Dracula and then others are romantic teenage guys like Twilight.

The wickedness of the Nephilim carried with it a heavy toll. Genesis 6:5 alludes to the corruption that the Nephilim had caused amongst humans and themselves: "The Lord saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become..." Their evil rebellion had incurred both the wrath and grief of God. God instructed the angel Gabriel to ignite a civil war among the Nephilim. He also chose Enoch, a righteous man, to inform the fallen angels of the judgment pronounced on them and their children. God did not allow the fallen angels any peace, for they could not lift their eyes to heaven and were later to be chained. The end of the Nephilim came about in the war incited by Gabriel, in which the giants eventually annihilated each other.

Karina Interesting is good!


message 213: by Madeleine (new) - added it

Madeleine | 1065 comments I think it depends on the author and how they think....because I read mi before any of this other stuff, Ill always think of the nephilim as being good guys.

If mangus was the priest at my wedding, i would not be able to keep a straight face throigh the ceromony.


Courtney I always thought of them as bad before The Mortal Instruments.

Basically Fallen Angels mated with humans to form nephilim and they caused harm on earth. So God told Noah he was going to destroy the nephilim in the flood.

I love shadow hunters! I wish Clare wrote something different though but I will religiously read her books as always and probably love it!


message 224: by Karina (new) - rated it 4 stars

Karina She is the only author I know who has written about Shadow Hunters. Yea I would have loved to see what other worlds she could create but I love it too much to complain about another series!

It's towards the beginning! After Simon tells Jace that he wants Jace to do everything he can to convince Clary that he no longer has feelings for her. They go back to the room where Sebastian is hanging out and he asks Jace a question to which he replies, in Romanian, "why do you think I was listening to your conversation?" and Sebastian says "you've been watching me since you got here. I can't tell if you don't like me or you're just suspicious of everyone" and walks out

Okay Prediction Time: I think the Seelie Queen will ask Clary to give up her angel blood/shadowhunter powers!

For helping save Jace?

Well I know that in the end of CoG the Seelie Queen asked Clary for a favor but she turned it down...did they mention what it was in CoFA?

I don't think they did. But the Seelie Queen is despicable! It can't be anything good.

I just did a quick google search and the Queen wants a knight of hers on the Nephilim council


message 249: by Karina (new) - rated it 4 stars

Karina I am curious to know what it is!! Nope whatever it is it is going to be bad!

Would Clary do absolutely anything to get Jace back?

I liked your prediction, I think it could be possible.
