WARNING: SPOILERS
Wow, like seriously wow this book is the second best in the whole series just behind City of Glass.
This is completely different to any of the other TMI books... Firstly it follows the stories of the other characters more closely so the whole book isn't completely centred on Clary and Jace which I loved! Not that I don't love the Clace storyline but I seriously ship Isabelle and Simon and so was literally crying with happiness when Cassie put them together eventually! I also wrote in my previous post about CoFA that something interesting would go down with Alec and Magnus... This book left me seriously heartbroken after the Epilogue like I was actually blubbering like a baby because I genuinely don't see that Alec has done anything wrong! You're still immortal Magnus get a grip.
Also this book went places, like literally I took it on holiday with me, but we actually saw settings in places like Paris and Venice which were a nice change from the typical story setting of New York. I can imagine Cassie actually sitting outside the places she writes about as she writes them with the amount of intricate details she adds in and the way she talks about the characters walking through various winding streets to get from one place to another I believe she knows these places like the back of her hand!
But oh Cassie as much as I love you, you're killing me with these plot twists. When Sebastian went all weird an incestuous I was seriously like WOAH where the hell did that come from and the whole heavenly fire thing is so cool and new, personally I think Jace is slowly becoming an actual angel but that's just a prediction! OH AND WHAT ABOUT MAUREEN! Well she was certainly underestimated! I can't believe she killed Camille who everyone was so scared of in CoFA! She's a powerful little vampire and I'm sure she'll cause a lot of the drama in City of Heavenly Fire which will definitely mix things up, tbh little children in horror movies scare the hell out of me so I am hoping it's all kept PG or at least 12a...
We see so many new dimensions to characters in this book, we learn more about Jordan and Maia and even Isabelle drops her hard exterior at parts to reveal her inner damsel.
Lets be honest though, if you've read this book you will agree with me when I say that Jace's sexual frustration radiates off the pages, like seriously Clace have got so close to having sex so many times but it never happens and while it was getting frustrating at parts I can understand why Clary said no, he was acting like an animal at parts I didn't like that at all... Good on you girl!
I'm slightly disappointed that Luke and Jocelyn never managed to get married but I guess that's something that could turn into a big event where lots of plot twists come into effect with maybe a few uninvited guests I don't know I can just see this happening.
Basically I just couldn't put this book down, at parts I wasn't sure whether Jace was actually the real Jace the whole time and Clary failed to see or whether he was actually brainwashed... I JUST HAD TO FIND OUT.
So yeah if you haven't read this book or any book in the series then DO IT NOW AND IM SORRY FOR THE SPOILERS just draw a memory runs or something and forget what you have read :)
Now to the second part of this blog post, obviously after reading the Epilogue of CoLS I went straight into google and tumblr to see if there was ANYTHING about City of Heavenly Fire that can keep me going until May and I came across a snippets page, the link is at the bottom for anyone who wants to take a look but I seriously did not expect for so much insight into the next book!
Usually I have nothing to go by but a blurb description or a cover but these are some serious spoilers!
I'm just gonna speed right ahead to what shocked me the most, the picture with the caption 'your boyfriend's dead thought you should know' LIKE WHAT WHO WHEN HOW WHY CASSANDRA WHY DOES ANYONE HAVE TO DIE
I will seriously break down emotionally if any of the male leads get killed off but I feel now that it will inevitably happen because apart from Max and Amatis there haven't been any massive significant deaths that have rocked the storyline and the end of the series is the perfect way to send all readers into clinical depression. To be honest I'll be most upset if its Jace or Simon but equally I think I'll still stay in bed for a few months and grieve if it's Alec or Magnus or LUKE OMG PLEASE LET IT NOT BE LUKE :'(
I suppose we just have to wait and see even though May seems so bleeding far away! On this page though were also a couple of saucy pictures of Clace and Sisabelle ;);) lets hope Clace finally succumb to their 'sexual desires' (sounds so cringe I know)
There will be a few new plot twists and I'm interested to see what all this Julian Blackthorn business is about!
I know this post hasn't been the most coherent but there's so much I just want to write about and I'm too excited to make it flow so I do apologise if this has annoyed anyone haha!
