I’ve read this book because i simply could not live with the show and the movie being discontinued.

yet the way jace was totally up valentines ass still boggles the shit out of my brain. don’t get me wrong i get it BUT even i would’ve been skeptical about the dad thing.

it’s like his brain went out the window when valentine went all ‘luke, i am your father.’ LIKE GET A GRIP!

anyways, i def loved the crumbs i was getting from jace and clary.

OMG the BEEF between alex and clary KILLS ME. he is so in the closet he feels the need to put hands on her?? crayZ!!

also this was surprising comedic. like i was cackling at this girls monologue AND the dialogue. she spoke her mind a lot and i didn’t hate it.

please don’t make simon and her date in the books please please please.

why can’t anyone just believe luke the good? he told clary the WHOLE TRUTH. and they still think they’re siblings?

bro valentines manipulation HAS to be good for jace to believe that he is a WHOLE other person.

i’m writing this in my notes app as im finishing this up so it’s so long because things just keep popping up 😐.

sigh.. just remembered they are literally fifteen. no wonder they’re so gullible.

i find the ending ironic. tho they think they’re related they still not acting it.

Re-read this after several years and was pleasantly surprised to find it still as good as the first time. Even if one or two jokes aged poorly this is one hell of a book, made me laugh in publicand kick my legs like a teen in public. Successful throwback.

It was okay, it wasn't great in my opinion, I didn't like that Cassandra

make them kiss and then tell us that they are SIBLINGS, and even after that she told us that clary keep thinking him a little bit in a romantic way. And I felt like that revelation was so out of nowhere, maybe it was just me but I feel like it was just for the shock. I also felt so gross with the Magnus insinuation with Alec, like he is a grown ass men and alec is a teenager

Even after that, it wasn't so bad, I didn't got attached with any of the characters but I like the universe that she created.

It wasn't memorable but it was nice for kill time.

Riktig tb till serien jag älskade för massa år sen. Men det märks att boken är en introduktion till kommande böcker, eftersom det känns som att inte så mycket hände.

the fomo finally got to me but it was worth it

and now, a quick (ο θεός να το κάνει) rant about the infamous ✨incest plot✨:

okay i have a bone to pick with y'all LMAO. i have a sibling so, needless to say, i can't imagine anything more disgusting as a concept than incest. BUT FUCKING COME ON. y'all narrowed it down to "ew incest 🤢 we don't talk about tmi because of the incest" & THEN THE INCEST IS ALL ABOUT DESTRUCTION. it's about valentine taking away the one good thing clary & jace have found. it's about valentine making sure jace can never love clary because he found comfort in her, & valentine can't allow that because he knows who & what jace values more. it's about turning the aforementioned comfort into disgust, into something instantaneously forbidden & unattainable. it's about making one hate the guts of the person the other loves (jocelyn). it's about valentine knowing painfully, terrifyingly well what jace wants (a family) & giving him the worst version of it (his horrible father is alive & fucking evil, his mother abandoned him, the girl he's in love with is his sister). it's about clary & jace embracing it anyway: ending on good terms, changing the trajectory of their relationship accordingly, as well as they can manage, choosing each other despite valentine's lies & manipulation. yes the idea of incest is disgusting, absolutely. but to narrow it down like that? media illiteracy at its finest. "this book has incest so it's embracing it, therefore it's disgusting & the author is disgusting & supports incest" -> what so many people have narrowed tmi down to & it's like. no. NO. NO ONE'S EMBRACING ANYTHING. incest is disgusting & THAT'S THE FUCKING POINT. we can't keep treating taboo topics so mindlessly, it doesn't take a phd in literary analysis to stop & think why the author made a choice they made. obvs i don't know how it will go in the next books but for now: I'M TIREDDDDDD i'm so so tired
