Clary’s life has done a complete one-eighty since the start of the series. Now she is full immured in the Shadowhunter world. She and the Lightwoods’ are traveling to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters, the place where she can find the medicine that she needs to save her m...
I loved this book. I'd been wanting a book set somewhere long ago (although this wasn't set that far back), with supernatural creatures and a bit of love mixed in. I really enjoyed it. I love and hate the resemblence Will has to Jace (or maybe it's actually the other way around). It has been a lo...
I continue to read Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments Series for a few reasons: 1) They're a nice escape, 2) They're a quick read regardless of length, 3) Once I've started a series, I have to finish it, and 4) I have a student who loves this series, and I've been able to form a better teac...
Io questi ammeregani impauriti (ma ossessionati) dal sesso proprio non li capisco.Un libro intero di adolescenti che si dicono "sesso?? ma no, dormiamo vicini vicini, limoniamo un po', teniamoci per mano tutta la notte" non era credibile negli anni '90, quando adolescente ero io, figuriamoci ades...
Clockwork Prince is the second book in the Infernal Devices trilogy by Cassandra Clare. The mysterious Tessa Gray has found a home with the Shadowhunters, but peace continues to evade her. Her brother has revealed himself to be a monster and she continues the struggle to define herself in light o...
Another good one, but not as gripping as the others. I know people can't stomach these but I just enjoy them. I want to live in this fantasy world.
I started this series by reading the Infernal Devices. That may have been my mistake. TID drew me into the Shadowhunter World and would not let go. I loved it like I love chocolate. However, after having read The Mortal Instruments, I have to say that Ms. Clare's writing improved substantially be...
Leí esta saga hace 2 años, mucho antes de que pensaran hacer la película siquiera, y la película fue una total decepción, sí que estoy agradecida por haberlo leído cuando era el momento y crearme mi propia idea del mundo y los personajes. Una amiga me había hablado de que había oído hablar de un...
This is my first review for any book. But i jst couldn't stop myself this time to not to write something about this one. I have just finished this book and..... i m feeling very emotional,sad.This book made me smile and cry. This series is my favorite book series ever. A beautifully written,addic...
July 9th 2014I love Cassandra Clare's books! I have Clockwork Angel, Prince and Princess (really good, historical mixed with fantasy) and I have City of Bones, Ashes, Glass, Fallen Angels and Lost Souls. I'm rereading the whole series to work my way up to her latest book, City of Heavenly Fire.I'...
when I first started this series I simply read it out of boredom, and because I had to read something for homework. What I never thought was how amazing of a journey this was going to be. Now a couple months after finishing the series each time I look at anyone of the books or hear any reference ...
I have just finished reading Hunger Games trilogy and after that Divergent series, so i thought to give this books a try. I love some hilarious conversation from Magnus Bane, and Simon Lewis, but other than that i thought that this is too lengthy of books without significant plot. You know it's l...
Ez az első kötetem Bane krónikáiból, tehát nincs összehasonlítási alapom. Meglepődtem, hogy ennyire rövid, ez nálam mindig negatívum, még ha tudom is, hogy a novellák már csak ilyenek. :)Az is meglepetés volt számomra, hogy ki is ez a Raphael, a címből nem sikerült összekapcsolnom, még ha egyérte...
absolutely adored this whole series! Really good. Goes a bit weird but still good! Can't wait to read the next book!
I really like this series. Well told and the author never seems to give up on the story. I almost couldn't finish reading these books, but I hate to quit in the middle of a book/series.
BAD ASS This book is create and really explains everything. I highly recommend it.
No me gusto tanto como los demás pero igual me gusto.La personalidad de Raphael me enamoro me cayo demasiado bien es que es muy sarcástico y simpático, la dupla que hacia con Ragnor Fell me encanto porque los dos se unían para molestar a Magnus y era demasiado chistoso, como que con este libro co...
I loved having some back story for Raphael. He is one of the more complicated characters in the Mortal Instruments and I'm glad I got to see where he is coming from. It made me feel more for him especially considering the events in City of Heavenly Fire. I feel like his story kind of parallele...
A short and sweet summary of a short and sweet book.I have a soft-spot for Magnus Bane. He is by far one of my favourite characters from any book ever written because he'd mischievous, quirky and ticks every box in the list of traits for a Byronic Hero.This instalment of the chronicles shows Magn...
I really, really enjoyed this one! I loved how Cassandra Clare gave us a glimpse of how the whole business with the Circle and Valentine Morgenstern began. I know all the members of the Circle always said that, in their defense, Valentine always seemed so charismatic and reasonable, but all I cou...
Motivo principale delle 5 stelline? Will, Jem e Tessa *w*. Mi sono mancati tantissimo ed è stato incredibilmente emozionante vederli tutti e tre insieme :').Inoltre mi sono innamorata di un nuovo Herondale, James voglio sapere di più su di te! *_*La storia narrata in questa novella è incredibile,...
One of the best Bane chronicles! Elegantly sweet with beautiful genuine caring love. Magnus's observance and thoughtfulness of Alec was very insightful and touching in many ways. Humour was in every page as Magnus contacts our favorite Bane Chronicles characters: Catorina and Ragnor. Magnus's cho...
So und hier hätten wir nun die erste Kurzgeschichte, die ich einfach in einem Ruck durchlesen musste. Alec und Magnus, mein liebstes Pärchen aus der dazugehörigen Reihe! Und dazu der Witz und Charme der vielen anderen Figuren und schließlich das Geschenk, welches so nichtig zu sein scheint und ei...
This is Cassandra Clare at her best. In my opinion, she excels when she's letting her wildly colorful cast of characters have fun. That's what this story was: fun. There were several heartwarming moments as well (Magnus' gift for Alec was truly meaningful and emphasized the sense of understanding...
I always thought novellas like these were supposed to give us new insight or at least new information. This doesn't provide us with anything new. If anything it just serves to continue to butcher my opinion of Mangus as a character. Any small thing I may have liked about him has long since been g...
5 stars! OH MY GOODNESS! I loved this story so much! Meet the Valentine's brand new Circle in this short story as they face off Magnus Bane and the Whitelaws of the New York institute in a quest to satisfy Valentine's ulterior motives.It was exciting to find out more about the Circle, its dirty b...
DEMASIADO DEMASIADO DEMASIADO BUENO.Lo mas emocionante de la vida es que Fray sea la mezcla entre Grey y Fairchild, es totalmente emocionante o que Jem halla sido el hermano silencioso que como que bautizo a Clary es demasiado Bacan.Amo las crónicas de Bañe son muy buenas porque u e completamente...
Really enjoed reading more of Tessa Will and Jem.. Well, I would like to know how it continues.... what about Grace and James?
Ez volt az eddigi legjobb novella, de miért is nem hosszabb. :) :(El se olvastam a fülszöveget, úgyhogy teljesen meglepődtem, hogy újra Londonban vagyunk azokkal a szereplőkkel, akik miatt az egész sorozatot szeretem. :) Ha csak röviden, de belepillanthattunk Tessa és Will életébe, családjába.Ese...
I was really excited when I found out about this short story. I scoured the Internet for it and was disappointed when I found it. Honestly, I couldn't even finish it.To me, it read like Cassandra Clare was writing FanFiction of her own story. I understand Cassandra Clare is into fandom (as seen b...
Lloro :(Ame esta pequeña historia, fue perfecta. Creo que hace un año y medio fue la útima vez que leí TID pero al leer esto puedo confirmar que TID es una historia tan perfecta que no importa el tiempo que pase, me hará sentir algo.La escencia de los personajes esatba intacta y sus acciones me p...
Averaging a 3.96 rating when no one even has an advance copy is completely ridiculous. I will never understand why people want to mislead others like this. This is one reason why consumer ratings are so untrustworthy as to be ignored completely, unless you have knowledge of the reviewer in part...
George Lovelace said, voice trembling on the last word. “A proper one.” Simon Lewis paused in his labors and peered up at his roommate. George was the kind of guy Simon had once loathed on sight, assuming anyone with that bronze glow, those six-pack abs, that maddeningly s...

—John Milton, Paradise Lost Silent Brothers, Tessa saw with a frozen shock, bled as red as any mortal man did. She heard Charlotte shout out orders, and then Henry was tearing down the stairs, racing for the first carriage. He yanked the door open, and Jessamine tumbled ou...
Magnus walked the floor of his loft apartment alone and wondered, with what amounted to only mild interest, if he was about to be stood up. Being asked out by a Shadowhunter had been among the top ten strangest and most unexpected things that had ever happened to Magnus, a...
Nothing like an intimidating, inflexible institution of adults who expect nothing less than unwavering, unquestioning loyalty to brighten your day. This authority is problematic in the extreme, yet so many Nephilim adhere to it! What gives? One of the aspects I’ve tried to preserve in the series ...
It was a completely different vantage point on the world. She and Mark followed the line of the highway north, flying over mansions with massive swimming pools that hung out over the ocean, castles tucked up into canyons and bluffs, dipping down low enough once to see a party going on in someone’...

I had wanted to tell some of the story from Jace's point of view, but once I got further into the book I realized it would be better if we mainly saw him from Clary's perspective. It made him more mysterious and a mysterious character is always fun. Deleted Prologue The marks on his skin told the...

Every morning I ran through the park. One morning, I met a nixie who lived in the dog pond. She had— Simon Lewis paused to consult his Cthonian/English dictionary for the word for “blond”—there was no entry.

—Algernon Charles Swinburne, “Laus Veneris” “Miss Tessa.” The voice was Sophie’s. Tessa turned and saw her framed in the doorway, a lantern swinging from her hand. “Are you all right?” Tessa felt pitifully grateful to see the other girl.

He sat listlessly in a triangle with Aaron and Tamara, sorting the light and dark and lightish and darkish piles as if they’d been doing it for a million years.

The elites and the dregs alike were sleepy from a long morning of training with Scarsbury, and Catarina Loss was giving them a history lesson. History applied to both the elites and the dregs, so they could all learn of the glory of the Shadowhunters and aspire to be a part of that glory. In this...

SAID JACE, STILL WITHOUT looking at Clary—he hadn’t really looked at her since she and Simon had arrived on the front step of the house the Lightwoods were now inhabiting. Instead he was leaning against one of the high windows in the living room, staring out toward the rapidly darkening sky. “A g...
