I keep repeating that I love these tales but I really do.
Especially when Jem is in one of them.
This was the case and I couldn't be happier to see my fave.
AND THE PARABATAI CEREMONY!
The watery trial was amazing and the connotation of the tunnel of love and the Haunted Manor was mesmerizing.
Parabatais give me life. But I felt so bad for Julian and Emma.

Continuo a trovare assurdo prendere l'unico personaggio "diverso" e fuori dagli schemi della saga, ovvero Simon, e trasformare anche lui in un super muscoloso Shadowhunters. Oltretutto Simon sembra odiare ogni secondo dell'addestramento e sembra odiare tutti gli shadowhunters tranne quelli che conosce personalmente quindi mi chiedo perché lo sta facendo?
Parabatai di Clary quando fino a ieri ne eri innamorato poi, il perché? Avere un parabatai sarà pure una cosa rara ma tutti i personaggi principali della Clare ne hanno uno, devono per forza.

Something is up with Julian but I'm not sure what it is exactly? Is it because he wasn't very comfortable doing another ritual just to be tied to Emma? Because his family wasn't there and he had to go trough that thing with the sword before? Or is he just uncertain that he will be Emma's best friend forever and never get the chance to be more than that? hm..
And Simon and Clary..
Spoiler The perfect duo to be parabatai, can't believe it will actually happen!
They had to go through that water "trial" to see if they would help each other like true parabatai, and they did.
Good things must come in the future I hope

Todo el asunto de la prueba de agua fue bastante raro y un tanto pesado de leer (aunque la escena del túnel del amor en el cisne-barco de Simon en el que aparece de repente Jace es divertidísima).
Como se desarrolla la ceremonia Parabatai también fue interesante, y reitero lo dicho, estoy deseando leer Lady Midnight.

I was very sad with Jem about the whole parabatai thing :(

But I'm so pump to read more about Julian and Emma. I need The Dark Artifices like now!

2015 review:

Maureen Johnson is okay, but she's no Sarah Rees Brennan when it comes to these novellas.
