Mortal Instruments & Infernal Devices Lovers! discussion

I absolutely loved the book and thought it was the perfect conclusion to this series! I need someone to talk to about it.What did everyone think of the book?

The mere fact that the mortal instruments is over is literally giving me chest pain.

I haven't started reading the book yet. OMG OMG. This is it. The last book!!!

I JUST FINISHED...MY LIFE IS OVER. WHAT THE FREAK AM I GOING TO DO WITH MYSELF.

I feel you.

I just loved this book so much! The epilogue even made me smile.

the epilogue honestly saved me...i would have been soooooo upset if she didnt do the epilogue. mainly about simon...:)

The epilogue is actually the best part.

Its all just so bitter sweet. I loved the ending, but thats the thing..it ended.

The feeling when you just finished reading a book and then you don't know what to do with your life anymore.

That is always the hardest part about finishing a series.

I know! I want to end the book and when I ended it I was like: "This is over..." And I realized I didn't want it to end! I just love all the characters and the story and all of this series, this actually has happen to me with a lot of series... But I guess everything has to come to an end and it was beautiful! I agreed with you about the epilogue, if she just leave it like that I was going to curl on the floor and cry!

I haven't had the chance to read it yet but I know that it will be bittersweet. Because i have waited for this ending but I am also sad to see it end. Therefore i am extremely excited that she is writing more so we are not seeing the end of the shadowhunter's world altogether.

I know that thought comforts me a little bit! :)
I can't wait to start reading the Dark Artifices and the Last Hours!

Hi Everyone!
Boy, do I have A LOT going on inside of my head about COHF, I'd love to talk about what I've been thinking today. Before I continue, I will admit, I have NOT read the book, and, I don't know if I will. Honestly, it just sounds too emotionally draining to me. What I have come across has yanked right out my heart.
For right now, I'd love to talk about Sebastian/Jonathan. I could never have imagined that I would develop the feels for him as I have. I am stunned as to the kind of feels that I've been having. Actualy, more than anyone else. I have NEVER had these kinds of feels EVER. I must be not seeing something bc these feels are worse than ANY other book that I have read (or not read)!!

SPOILERS COMING!!

I am completely aware with what he has done. Jonathan was dealt a tough and unfair hand. A tough tough life. I feel SOO badly for him. He deserved so much more. He deserved love. He deserved companionship, a family etc.. He practically had no control over what he was dealt.. It broke my heart.

So, when Clary did what she did with the sword, (AND why did it have the heavenly fire in it??) and his eyes turned their true color of green, and Jonathan was able to reveal himself and repent, that was just SO heartbreaking. What a brave boy/man to repent. This seemed to be a slow and cruel doing, he said that he felt lighter, and was able to feel both physicaly and mentally. Why? He ddn't deserve it. Jace said they were two individual people. And over the Lake?? "Forever.." Are you kidding me? Rip my heart out why don't you! And you have been! All day! And the dream?? Get me another box of tissues will you! Yes, we got to see the real Jonathan, but, for such a short amount of time, what a tease. I am glad that he was able to turn good, he didn't have ANY demon blood in him. but..he deserved so much more. Yes, he did what he did, but, he still deserved more. I had hoped and wished that he would stay around longer, since he was good.

I just saw a drawing of Jonathan, and it was I believe one of the teasers, which stated basically, how can a boy be raised as a devil, be anything but a demon. Ever since reading this, I felt even more badly for him. He's not a demon, despite how he was raised.
For this reason, at least, Jonathan deserves a good TMI ending. What about making him a Silent Brother like Jem was, or something?? That'd help him, I believe.

As I completely acknowledge the things that he has done, I feel that he is still redeemable. Everyone on this earth is redeemable. It might be difficult to do so, but, he is. Forgive. I believe, I think, Clary had some sort of doubt regarding Sebastian's being. On his being good. Yes, Jonathan would feel certainly the guilt, the shame and everything that went along with this, but, he would heal over time. Now, with what happened, I think, through "death", everything is in limbo. Forgive and heal.

I do REALLY hope that Cassie will somehow...somehow..bring Jonathan back in future books..

Is it weird that I wasn't extremely sad when Jordan died?

To be honest I wasn't sad either, I was just like "oh. what a shame" surprisingly

So, about that scene by the lake...

what happened while Jace was packing. did he think "oh I'm going into a demon dimension. what should I bring... oh I know! I'll bring a condom!"

I was surprised at how little it affected the story. I was pretty annoyed with Maia's reaction though.

Agreed! I was rolling my eyes at that one.

Is it necessary for all the shadowhunters to have a parabatai???"

No it's not necessary

you're welcome :)

This is the best series I have ever read. I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish and I just couldn’t put it down. It was amazing! I can’t wait to read the other books. The tv show is really good too, it might just be better than the book series!!!
