Ever since i got the chance to meet Cassandra Clare last year i wanted to go back into the shadowh God, reading these was so nostalgic and reminiscing of the golden days, where Shadowhunters, The Hunger Games and Harry Potter were all the rage... Ah! Ever since i got the chance to meet Cassandra Clare last year i wanted to go back into the shadowhunter world i loved so much, and i finally got the chance to do so! I remembered many quotes and moments from this book. I decided to read it in english for the first time.

First, i was surprised by how young every one in this book was. They are 15-16 years old!! No wonder they act like little brats hahaha! It was sooo funny reading about their teenage problems, like how Clary "is not like other girls" and how Jace is so "clever and strong and golden"... It was like reading Twilight over again. Even if they were dramatic, they were not too dumb: they talk things out and take care of each other. And i had forgotten everyone in this book is extremely sassy and funny! All the puns and sarcastic comments, from almost everyone in the book...I now see how my taste in fictional men was shaped.

Now, regarding the plot, it's actually quite good. I have heard this started as Harry Potter fan fiction, and even though young me couldn't see it, i could see it plenty this time around. The Circle, the return of Valentine, the "purebloods"... even The Mortal Instruments' shapes seem pretty similar to those of some certain Hallows... right? Still, Cassandra managed to give it her own, unique twist, creating a wonderful world of her own. And to think that every book of her is better than the next!

My favourite scene will remain the celebration of Clary's birthday in the grenhouse. And other scenes, such as Clary praising Jace for knowing what bergamot is and that it's found in Earl gray, making Jace "so not like other boys", will forever be ingrained in my brain.

I'm hoping to re-read the whole TMI series, followed by TID (my personal favourite), in order to read all the other books that have been published since and that are new to me. Glad to see Clary and Jace's story stands the test of time and it's still enjoyable to read. ...more "

Pervinca’s Quotes

“No one says that. What they say is that I am the handsomer one.” “That,” said Matthew, “is also clearly untrue.” “And the better dancer.” “James, this terrible habit of lying seems to have come on you suddenly. I am concerned, very concerned—”
― Cassandra Clare, Chain of Thorns

“Now, I know what you’re thinking,” Belial said in a singsong voice, as if he were teaching a history lesson to a small child. “The king of England can only be crowned by the archbishop of Canterbury.” “That,” said James, “is not what I was thinking.”
― Cassandra Clare, Chain of Thorns

“Los Angeles in Thule is quite different. Our beaches, for instance, were full of cannibalistic lobsters"
Dru frowned. "Does that mean they eat people or just other lobsters?"
"Both, really.”

“No,” Matthew said. “I didn’t come here to abandon James to his fate. I came to save him from it.” “Good for you,” said Belial, sounding bored. “James, you must know this is the best thing for everyone. I don’t want to have to resort to violence.” “Of course you do,” James said. “You love resorting to violence.” “That seems true,” said Matthew. “I only agreed to come,” put in Stymphalia, “because I thought there might be violence.” “The birdie and the drunk are right,” Belial allowed.”
― Cassandra Clare, Chain of Thorns
