No More Shadow World :( ("The Mortal Instruments: City of Heavenly Fire" Part 2)

Alright so I finished "City of Heavenly Fire," the last book in "The Mortal Instruments" series today.
FAIR WARNING I MIGHT SPOIL SOME SHIT BELOW YOU'VE BEEN WARNED
I'm a bit sad that this sexy and bloody journey is over. I've thought about it and I think what really grabbed me was the characters. The way they're developed made me feel like I actually knew them and understood them which made me care pretty deeply about them. They were so strong and unique and SIGH I'M GOING TO MISS THEM.
I was surprised how thick this book was when I bought it but damn am I glad it was. Granted, there were some sections I don't believe were necessary but it was also packed with tons of action. I thought she might actually do something permanent to someone in the main circle that would've been pretty messed up and tear making but it ended up fixing itself in the end so yay happy endings.
My friend and I have talked about how it seems like the main circle defies all laws and is kind of invincible. Like how many times has Jace supposed to have died and survived is he a cat or human no one will know. Things that are supposed to be impossible are always possible when it comes to them. Which I don't really mind like its a magical world literally anything goes. Idk my friend thought it was annoying but I'd rather them all end up okay.
In conclusion: I really enjoyed this series and recommend it to anyone who liked "Twilight" or just YA series in general. Also I might be in love with Jace Herondale the jury is still out.

Doubly also THIS PICTURE BREAKS MY HEART okay that's all

Wait no it's not, the next book/ series I'm reading is "Cinder" by Marissa Meyer okay now I'm done BYE

Wtf Sebastian ("The Mortal Instruments: City of Heavenly Fire" Part 1)

 Like srsly WTF MAN.
I'm about half way through "City of Heavenly Fire" so you know what that means (in case you don't this is when I do a little update about how I'm feeling about the book I'm reading okay good talk).
So much has happened already it's great how much action she's packing into this last book. Plus lots of cute coupley stuff that makes me want to puke rainbows. All in all I'm sad but excited to see how this series ends.

STORY TIME WITH KELSEY:
I rewatched the movie tonight which was actually what got me interested in reading the books. I'm not sure if this will be an insult (I certainly don't see as such) but this series really reminds me of "Twilight." I'm sorry HEAR ME OUT like I really can't put my finger on why I love these books but I'm hooked. It feels the same as reading "Twilight" did when I was 16. There's lots of hot kissing scenes and especially with this last book with the heavenly fire and there being the whole I can't lose my cool around you thing with Jace. It seemed very Edward of him. END

I'M TRYING REALLY HARD TO NOT INCLUDE SPOILERS ("The Mortal Instruments: City of Lost Souls" Part 2)

But there might be some so don't be mad if I included stuff that may or may not be spoilery!
Alright I finished "City of Lost Souls" today. What I'm enjoying as this series goes on is that the story doesn't just focus on what's going on with the main couple or characters (Jace and Clary) but the reader gets to feel like he or she knows all of these characters intimately, which is a quality I loved in Stephen King's "It."
Also, Clare really has a knack for making the endings move quickly. She packs so much into the last few chapters of the book. I found myself lazily moving through the story until I was approaching the end and all of the sudden it was like AH HELP CAN'T STOP MUST FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS!!!!!
I really admire the way Clare writes her battle scenes. Particularly I loved this scene she wrote with Clary, Jace, and Sebastian (aka Jonathan) and Clary feels the adrenaline high from battle for the first time. I thought this scene was detailed really well. Clary kind of sums it all up when she says, "I feel good."
However much I love this series and was happy with this book, I do have a few bones to pick. The young couples in the novel all generally have sexy, detailed, intimate scenes where they generally just make out. Every touch and the feeling it evokes is described in a really lovely way. I love to see the dynamics and differences in each relationship. Jace and Clary are always sweet and slow with one another, Simon and Isabelle have some hesitations (and then there's the biting), Jordan and Maia are aggressive and passionate. I've noticed that Mangus and Alec don't really get these kind of detailed scenes. Sure, there are parts where they kiss but none of the intimacy or details are put into their scenes. I'd like to see some of that for them in the next book.
Another thing I had issue with was when Clary went to go help Jace while he was basically being controlled by Sebastian. I found parts of her being there a bit confusing. I know that she went to find out what they were planning but it didn't really seem like she made any real moves to find out what was going on. There were moments when she seemed to preoccupied by making out with Jace or being confused by her brother. Maybe parts of this section of the book were confusing since she was confused most of the time while she was with them. So maybe it's confusing on purpose NEVER MIND.
Overall, I'm in love with this series and I can't wait for the next one.

P.S. I really love this symbol and kind of want it (tattooed) on my body ugh okay bye

Just to get started ("The Mortal Instruments: Ciry of Lost Souls" Part 1)

Alright, just so everyone knows where I'm at, I'm currently reading "The Mortal Instruments: City of Lost Souls." What I find kind of irritating, not only about this book but the series as a whole, is that Jace just can't seem to catch a break. I mean I guess that's just the nature of storytelling but it always seems like once things are alright something completely horrible or life- threatening happens.
I'll do a whole post about the book when I'm finished. I don't want to post my opinion until I'm done the whole thing. I've about 200 pages to go so I should be done sometime this week.
