Clary also insists that Sebastian/Jonathan was a terrible kisser Oh, of course he was. It’s not like she broke away from him because it randomly ‘felt wrong’ (i.e. the Plot Said So). No, now that the reader knows that he’s the villain, he must be inferior to Jace in every way. …

@Sporking: 1) I wasn’t “whining” about the Star Wars prequels. I was making a comparison. Describing a villain as “whining” doesn’t make them look intimidating. It makes them look sad and kind of pathetic. 2) That was a single short paragraph out of an 18 page document. Why would you choose to …

…that’s the one thing you got from this? Anyhoodle. And then Maia shows up, because what this scene really needs is more high school drama bullshit. “High school drama bullshit” pretty much describes this series in a nutshell. because Clary has Author Fiat on her side. Also that. Also, this whole time they’ve been using the …

Oh boy, look how cool this guy is, whining about the Star Wars prequels! No one gives a crap about your sad circlejerk hate-boner that has nothing to do with the spork, just because you think it makes you clever and cute.

So good to see you are finally free from the curse. So… You’re gonna do the others, right? It is not that I like to see you suffer, but… Well, I guess I do. We’ll see. It depends on how I’m feeling after doing my wrap-up. I was planning on at least …

Oh hey, we’re on the last chapter and the epilogue! Finishing this book is like a birthday present I’ve given to myself, almost a week early. So good to see you are finally free from the curse. So… You’re gonna do the others, right? It is not that I like to see …

And if the Devil used to be an angel I still find it strange that the Devil is never mentioned in this series, but honestly, was there any reason for Shadowhunters to be descended from angels in the first place? All they really are at the end of the day are …

Reminder: CC once wrote a Ron/Ginny fanfic. And apparently gave it the title “Mortal Instruments.” I think I knew this before, but still: For right now, I’m planning on ending it with this book. There’s other projects I’d like to focus on – namely writing and publishing my own stuff – and …

Let’s face it, the only reason this whole angel blood vs. demon blood contrivance exists is because of Protagonist-Centered Morality. Clary and Jace have angel blood, so they’re righteous and good no matter what they do. Sebastian has demon blood, so he’s evil and wicked no matter what he does. I …

But demon attackin a school in broad daylight exposes how incredibly lazy Hearne’s writing is. At this point the Masquerade is only here because that is the usual trope for Urban Fantasy and the only force in the universe that can keep it from breaking is industrial strenght Authorial Fiat. Yuuuuuup. It’s …

In the second book there’s a scene of the Virgin Mary feeding homeless people. There’s also a demon attacking a school in broad daylight. I could see the Virgin Mary scene work as suggestion that she went unrecognized. Like that passing mention of Jesus backpacking through Afghanistan in American …

My gripe is that name dropping him does not enhance the demons as a part of action scene. To be honest I have a bit of suspicion that it is a bit of pretentiousness on Hearne’s part. Like he is trying to say “see, those are not your average dmons, …

I think the horror of those paintings isn’t the demons themselves, but what they’re doing. We’re seeing Hell in that painting, and we’re not seeing that here at all—we’re just seeing demons attack people. Like any other monster. It’s not quite a terrifying image. Oh definitely. I am not an art …

I had this long, detailed and incredibly witty… Well long and detailed… Ok, just long, comment that referenced specific bits in the text. But I forgot to hit “Sumbit” button after Preview so it is now gone down the memory hole. So, since I am lazy bastard, I will just …

A bit one-dimensional and immature. Your review that is. You never mentioned the fact that Nora’s father was murdered and that the miss of a father plays into her falling into the arms of Mr. protective Patch. (What’s in a name?) There are plenty of emotionally wounded girls out there in the …

But more importantly, Jace and Clary aren’t siblings, so it’s totally okay for them to bang. I knew this was part of the story, but having it laid out here makes me wonder: why was this whole thing in the story anyway? Why was there this whole subplot of Jace and …

he’s much more civil to her than Clary was He’s always treated Jocelyn better. When Jocelyn and Clary had their fight in CoB and Clary stormed out, Simon was the one who said goodbye to Jocelyn, while her ungrateful brat of a daughter told him to shut up. daughter is doing …
