haha that moment in city of glass when the whole city is on fire and all alec said to magnus in the middle of the battle was "why didn't you call me back" Malec all the way haha
Although Clary and Jace believed Valentine (I mean, seriously you believe a murdering psychopath) they didn't have any sort of reason NOT to believe him. Jace believed Valentine was his father for sixteen years and Clary KNEW Valentine was her father. So how would they know they were not related?
I don't know if it's just me, but all the "frustrating" things in TMI are what made me love the book even more. I felt like it showed the flaws in the characters and what was left unsaid was for the reader's interpretation. I get how you can't buy the whole Jace and Clary sibling plot line, but it isn't for the reader to purely believe, but rather watch the characters struggle against these limits and force them to react and make tough decisions. Plus, the suspense of it all is mind-blowing.
I love The Mortal Instruments and the Infernal Devices! I personally fell in love with The Mortal Instruments series the first time I read it. So I read it again. So yes I have read that series twice. Actually if you read The Mortal Instruments they leave you with a lot of characters that you don't find out what happens to them at the end of the series. But if you read The Infernal Devices you find out what happens to them. Clary's power does have limitations because it takes a lot of her energy to create some runes.
I read the city of bones really fast, I loved it. But I just could not get into the second book. going to try to pick it back up this week, well see if its any better this time
The 3rd and 5th were my favorite! Such an amazing series. When i started the first i was a little worried that this series wasnt for me but half way through the 2nd book i was sucked in! Cant wait fort he 6th one and will be reading infernal devices asap!
It wasn't as if Jace drew the rune on her while they were chilling on the couch watching TV or anything. He was trying to protect her from a demon! I know that he could have killed her if she wasn't a shadowhunter, but I don't think it was being reckless out of pure stupidity as you put it. I think he just panicked. Either way, I LOVE the TMI series and I wasn't frustrated with the series like you were but I still enjoy your book talks. (: Thanks for the video, Kat!
Personally my experience with TMI/TID was opposite. I read TMI first(I got them for Christmas and was unaware of TID at the time). I felt more latched up TMI first and read them quicker. When it was time for TID my reading was slower, but after I finished it, and looked back at the two series(less grueling) I love them both pretty much the same-- although I will agree, TID is a lot smoother and and stronger. Love the video, though, Kat!
I really agree with you on the Malec relationship. I of course love it now! But I didn't get enough of their characters together, just alone. But Malec is one of my favorite ships. i literally just finished CoG like an hour ago.
"The most frustrating series I have ever loved." Sums up my thoughts perfectly. I had such a hard time with Clary and Jace like they just piss me off all the time. But you can't stop reading because the world is so cool. City of Fallen Angels was just bad for me. I could not stand Clary and Jace. >.
I read The Mortal Instruments before The Infernal Devices. It would help to read The Infernal Devices before TMI to explain and understand Brother Jeremiah better in City of Lost Souls. I want to reread it to remember what Brother Jeremiah said when he was Jem in TID.
I just finished city of glass. I haven't read the infernal devices , but I will after I'm finished the mortal instruments. I love the mortal instruments too much. Im guessing when I read the infernal devices I will love it more.
Omg, I might be too late but I hope not. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, read heavenly fire before you finish the infernal devices, don't ask questions, just, by the angel don't do it. You can read lost souls I guess, just make sure you FINISH THE INFERNAL DEVICES BEFORE STARTING HEAVENLY FIRE
myriam mei Yes, yes you really really really do. You will love it, I promise, but you have to have finished the infernal devices before reading it. PS: your icon made me cry a little
I saw the movie last night and I LOVE IT. I'm so happy with how it turned out, and man, I do love Jamie Campbell Bower, so having him as Jace....perfect.
But I totally agree with you about Imogen and her terrible choice of last words. I mean, EVERYONE knew that Cassie did that just to last out till the third book. The Sebastian plotline would never have happened if Jace and Clary knew they were not really siblings
I agree with City of Bones & Ashes. In COA, The characters are sometimes bothering me. Plus, I'll come back to this video when I start and finish City of Glass :P
So it was originally a trilogy? That makes so much sense! Haha I thought it could have ended after City of Glass but I'm so glad it didn't end! Can't wait for the last book in the series!
With stickers if you peel them off of books ,video games ,etc. An it leaves like some sticky stuff or some of the white sticker on iy if you use a bit of rubbing alchole it comes off
I've already read the whole series (well, what is currently available) however I really enjoyed your review and we pretty much have the same views. As always love your videos! You're just so adorable! I'm interested to see what you thought about the movie... look forward to that!
you did good Katy..... Usually when as authors, the first manuscript may not be a indepth as they would like their character to be. However with learning the character and becoming more intune to your audience a better masterpiece will transpire.
These have been on my tbr for like ever! I finally am reading them all. I’m on city of fallen angels! So happy my friend forced me to read these (he actually named his child after jace)
I love that you drew on the shadow hunter runes on, I went to see the movie with temporary tattoos of the shadow runes that I got at Hot Topic. Loved the movie. Hope you like it too. Nice video! Rereading the books now.
I agree. When I first started reading City of Bones, I actually left it for a few months and then forced myself to get back in there and finish the book. I enjoyed reading them, but like you said, had to do extra work to imagine the scenes and the world! I have read up until the 4th one, and the fourth one felt really slow, so I'm actually putting off reading the 5th until the final one is released. Thinking I should read the TID series, but tbh, not a huge fan of the writing style.
ARE U CRAZY!!!!!! THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS IS WAY BETTER THAN THE INFERNAL DEVICES AND I HOOE CASSANDRA DOES MORE ON IT BECAUSE IT IS TEH BEST BOOK EVER!!!
Squirrel64 ikr i mean yes clockwork princess is the best book in the shadowhunter universe but then we have city of glass city of heavenly fire city of ashes... i mean these three books are better than the the other 2 books of the infernal devices
Also about Magnus and Alec, I'm not sure if you have visited Cassandra Clare's website because she has extras/short stories there about the shadow hunter world. And that includes a little bit extra story of Magnus' and Alec's love story (i.e. their first kiss)
I love both series and I agree with pretty much everything you said in this. I know some people think the series should have ended at city of glass, but city of lost souls is really good and I think the more the merrier really!
i was OK with the TMI series + TID, but the Dark Artifices? I PERSONALLY think she needs to start doing other things because she is so stuck in this world. The Dark Artifices story line doesn't impress me at all! But this is just my opinion, if you don't agree you don't have to hate.
I sort of agreed at first. I honestly wasn't even going to read TDA...until Tessa and Jem up and decided to move to freaking LA after CoHF to keep an eye on Emma! So now my Jem and Tessa will be in TDA and now I need to read it :( Although I will admit that I was always planning to read TLH. I can't not read a story that has Will and Tessa and Jem (or any combination of the three) in it.
I'm interested to see what you think of the second half of the series because I personally don't like the 4th and 5th books but I know that some people love those.
I listened to City of Bones because my library didn't have a physical copy, and I totally fell in love with it, but then when I went to read City of Ashes I was let down and just sort of gave up on the series. But 2 years ago I went through and read them all and I'm honestly disappointed that I continued after COG because the next three books feel like books that shouldn't have been written and were just tacked on to please the fan base.
It gets even better! Each book I've read in the series, I think "that one is definitely my favorite" until I pick up the next one :] I think you'll love City of Ashes, a lot goes down.
This vid also made me want to read The Internal Devices, I was interested of it earlier already but now I REALLY want to read it since you said it's that much better. And the world really is interesting in the series so I'd like to see more of it.
i love this series so much! I love fantasy, and in this world there is more fantasy than in Narnia, I mean, varies, vampires, wolfs, and the best, the shadow hunters. Cassandra literally created a whole culture, she made the weapons, rules, parties, way to talk, legends, she even used words in latin, that woman is awsome! I hope I can get my book signed by her someday. I loved the way you talked, I felt like I was discussing the book with a friend, I felt the same things as you! Clary and jace have some cute moments, but I know that jace live Simon 😏
I love The Mortal Instruments so much more than the Infernal Devices (though of course TID is very very good). To each their own, with this series, as I've come to learn.
Agreed with the laughter thing. A book can't make me feel anything strongly until it's made me laugh, then I connect more with it and other emotions come more easily.
Totally agree. I thought it ended, then realised it didn't so I read the fourth book and was just like 'eh...'. Is it worth reading the City of Lost Souls?
***** What order should I read the Infernal devices and Mortal instruments, iv just finished the city of bones and didnt want to tread any further until i know the proper order. Please reply I love your channel btw
Some fans have asked and Cassandra Clare has answered in her FAQ in her website.She says to first read the first three books in TMI then read the Infernal Devices and then the other three books.Hope this helped!
Best video ever! :) Also, I'm in total agreement with you. The other two books that came out are kind of weak but filled with Clockwork hints and hidden messages - you will like that part.
completely agree with the comparison between TMI and ID. I love the relationship between Will, Tessa, and Jem a lot more than Jace and Clary and I felt so much more for the characters in ID. Loved the review!
I really think the mortal Instruments top the infernal devices.... I'm sorry. I guess it's just me, but I loved the characters and the story moral in TMI than I did in TID
I think each series has their own good qualities. I think the mortal instruments has overall a more interesting plot and is more fast paced. ( I haven't read it in like 4 years so I might not be absolutely accurate on that) TID is great because of the characters and the setting as well. I loved the Magnus more in TID then in TMI if that's possible. TID is my choice out of the two but they're both great. I also heard someone say, I think it was cassjaytuck that while Jace and Will can both be do
Watching you review this was super entertaining... You get so animated and emotional (in an awesome way), I just want to invite you for coffee and talk about ALL THE STUFF.
I wish this video was made like 2 months ago when I started reading. I ended up reading City of Bones first and then all three of the Infernal Devices books and I am trying to get myself back into City of Ashes. I just read these all out of order. lol
I cannot understand people who get angry at Cassandra Clare for only writing in her Shadowhunter world. To me it's the exact same thing as an author only writing contemporary novels; all of their novels are set in the same world. Cassandra Clare's books have the benefit of beautiful world building because this is a world that she knows everything about and with each successive book is eager to introduce you further into.
Great video! I love these books, although I definitely have frustrations too. I started from TMI because TID weren't out when I began reading, so I liked being able to read them in the order that they came out in, which I think would be sort of weird to do now because you'd be hopping back and forth between series. As far as my frustrations, I initially had a hard time getting through the first book because I didn't like the characters! I do now though, and I thought the movie was pretty good.
I love both series. I love all the series that Cassie writes actually. I'm a big TMI fan over TID because I found TMI first, read them all, that are out, then found TID.
I love the Mortal Instruments series, but I probably will never finish the Infernal Devices one. I'm not all that interested in it. I read the first one and liked it, but I don't see myself finishing it. Can't wait for book 6 for TMI
I agree about the Jase and Clary brother sister thing. It caused me to stop reading the series for a few months after I realized that book two didn't show any change with their relationship. I really don't get why Cassandra Clare did that, but I have read the third one now and I still love her books. :)
This was a great book talk. I have to say, I probably prefer TID more compared to TMI, but I really enjoy getting lost in the world and the hype around it. I enjoyed the movie - but I think you have to go to any movie-based-on-a-book with a certain amount of joy to just be seeing it. Sometimes they can suck, sometimes they are awesome. EIther way, I am probably going to re-read TMI soon :D Thanks for the video!
SERIOUSLY. I was definitely feeling Jace/Simon more than Jace/Clary in "City of Ashes." I almost thought I was going crazy, but thank you for confirming!

haha that moment in city of glass when the whole city is on fire and all alec said to magnus in the middle of the battle was "why didn't you call me back" Malec all the way haha
TRUUEEE I started to laugh so hard when I read that
"You're my grandson, dumbass" I think I just died xD
Oh and also "grandmas a real bitch"
Although Clary and Jace believed Valentine (I mean, seriously you believe a murdering psychopath) they didn't have any sort of reason NOT to believe him. Jace believed Valentine was his father for sixteen years and Clary KNEW Valentine was her father. So how would they know they were not related?
wow a whole different thing: I think you really look a like Lilly from how I met your mother!
Oh my gosh. I knew she reminded me of someone!!
I don't know if it's just me, but all the "frustrating" things in TMI are what made me love the book even more. I felt like it showed the flaws in the characters and what was left unsaid was for the reader's interpretation.

Kaylee White I love them 😍
YESS
Kat, I totally agree! I wish Magnus and Alec's storyline was more flashed out!
I love The Mortal Instruments and the Infernal Devices! I personally fell in love with The Mortal Instruments series the first time I read it. So I read it again. So yes I have read that series twice. Actually if you read The Mortal Instruments they leave you with a lot of characters that you don't find out what happens to them at the end of the series. But if you read The Infernal Devices you find out what happens to them. Clary's power does have limitations because it takes a lot of her energy to create some runes.
I can't stop looking at her Twilight books.
I loved malec more than clace though. I love all the series
lmao true. the main couple isn't even the main ship in the fandom. like, step aside. Malec runs the place.
Sizzy rules!!!
Stephanie Donkor malec is my Otp
Did you read "kissed"? It's an extra that happens between the 1st & 2nd books about Magnus & Alec's relationship, you can just google it
She reminds me of lily from himym
First thing I thought
She looks like her A LOT
My favourite by Cassie Clare is Clockwork Princess. I cried so much.
I read the city of bones really fast, I loved it. But I just could not get into the second book. going to try to pick it back up this week, well see if its any better this time
I did the same thing.
Same! I read the city of bones years ago, finished it so fast! But I couldn't go on with the second book
The 3rd and 5th were my favorite! Such an amazing series. When i started the first i was a little worried that this series wasnt for me but half way through the 2nd book i was sucked in!
Cant wait fort he 6th one and will be reading infernal devices asap!
U probably read tmi and tid but In the end of the 6th book in tmi it spoils the last book of tid
Ugh. Magnus babe. Bane! I mean bane ! xD I love him.
And Raphael of course.
I prefer the term Nephilim to Shadowhunter.
I feel so sad watching your excitement for the movie and knowing it's gonna be bad :(
@Adam Ahmad oh I didn’t like the show either. I am waiting for the anime adaptation now. 🤣🥸🤞🏻
I've only read like 20 pages of city of bones and I'm already in love!
I liked this video because unlike most "booktubers" you did an actual review and not a synopsis.
It wasn't as if Jace drew the rune on her while they were chilling on the couch watching TV or anything. He was trying to protect her from a demon! I know that he could have killed her if she wasn't a shadowhunter, but I don't think it was being reckless out of pure stupidity as you put it. I think he just panicked.
Either way, I LOVE the TMI series and I wasn't frustrated with the series like you were but I still enjoy your book talks. (:
Thanks for the video, Kat!
I honestly love TID better, but TMI should be read first. The suspense decreases if you read TID first. But I agree with Katy - TID is boss
Personally my experience with TMI/TID was opposite. I read TMI first(I got them for Christmas and was unaware of TID at the time). I felt more latched up TMI first and read them quicker.

Hahahaha, "You're my grandson, dumbass!"
love that
omg thank god someone agress with me that CLARY&SIMON ARE NOT MEANT TO KISS !!!!!
I really agree with you on the Malec relationship. I of course love it now! But I didn't get enough of their characters together, just alone. But Malec is one of my favorite ships. i literally just finished CoG like an hour ago.

But you can't stop reading because the world is so cool. City of Fallen Angels was just bad for me. I could not stand Clary and Jace. >.
I loved them ALL but City of Fallen Angels was by FAR the most infuriating (to me)
Elemental BananaSpice
I agree
I read The Mortal Instruments before The Infernal Devices.
It would help to read The Infernal Devices before TMI to explain and understand Brother Jeremiah better in City of Lost Souls. I want to reread it to remember what Brother Jeremiah said when he was Jem in TID.
Umm.... jem was brother Zachariah not Jeremiah
I just finished city of glass. I haven't read the infernal devices , but I will after I'm finished the mortal instruments. I love the mortal instruments too much. Im guessing when I read the infernal devices I will love it more.
Omg, I might be too late but I hope not. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, read heavenly fire before you finish the infernal devices, don't ask questions, just, by the angel don't do it. You can read lost souls I guess, just make sure you FINISH THE INFERNAL DEVICES BEFORE STARTING HEAVENLY FIRE
I'm reading city of lost souls right now. You came just in time. city of heavenly fire is on my desk right now
Phew, I was getting worried for you😅 glad I could be of service🙌
Are you Kidding me? so wait wait do i have to read the infernal devices before heavenly fire
myriam mei Yes, yes you really really really do. You will love it, I promise, but you have to have finished the infernal devices before reading it. PS: your icon made me cry a little
I like tid a lot but tmi cannot be beaten period
Yes
Tijuana Boyd I mean I prefer TID because Will lol
I saw the movie last night and I LOVE IT. I'm so happy with how it turned out, and man, I do love Jamie Campbell Bower, so having him as Jace....perfect.
But I totally agree with you about Imogen and her terrible choice of last words. I mean, EVERYONE knew that Cassie did that just to last out till the third book. The Sebastian plotline would never have happened if Jace and Clary knew they were not really siblings
Theresa Grey is in the end of City of Glass. Talking to Magnus Bane.
THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS AND INFERNAL DEVICES ARE MY FAV SERIES
I didn't have to work hard at all to love the characters
"Angel blood, man, I gotta get some of that." HAHAHA ME
I agree with City of Bones & Ashes. In COA, The characters are sometimes bothering me. Plus, I'll come back to this video when I start and finish City of Glass :P
bless cassie clare for creating the HERONDALEs
So it was originally a trilogy? That makes so much sense! Haha I thought it could have ended after City of Glass but I'm so glad it didn't end! Can't wait for the last book in the series!
Yes City of Glass was definitely the best book in the series (and CoHF)
"Let's get down to business...to defeat the Huns."
That reference made my day. Thank you for the awesomeness
With stickers if you peel them off of books ,video games ,etc. An it leaves like some sticky stuff or some of the white sticker on iy if you use a bit of rubbing alchole it comes off
I think you should definitely do more discussion videos! I love them a thousand times more than reviews. Also, this video was hilarious!
Lol I love how she's like Lets get down to business ..... To defeat the Huns! I literally started singing the song when she said that 😂
The dialogues are great and unique
We don't see Magnus and Alec together in City of Ashes because nobody technically knows that they are in a relationship.
I've already read the whole series (well, what is currently available) however I really enjoyed your review and we pretty much have the same views. As always love your videos! You're just so adorable! I'm interested to see what you thought about the movie... look forward to that!
you did good Katy..... Usually when as authors, the first manuscript may not be a indepth as they would like their character to be. However with learning the character and becoming more intune to your audience a better masterpiece will transpire.
The 3rd and 5th are my fav ones! And 48days till City of Heavenly Fire!!
These have been on my tbr for like ever! I finally am reading them all. I’m on city of fallen angels! So happy my friend forced me to read these (he actually named his child after jace)
I love that you drew on the shadow hunter runes on, I went to see the movie with temporary tattoos of the shadow runes that I got at Hot Topic. Loved the movie. Hope you like it too. Nice video! Rereading the books now.
My friend still believes till this day thinks Clary and Jace are brother and sister.
if CP2 is the best book cassie had ever written, how good will COHF be?
Cp2?
CbbTyrone clockwork princess; clockwork prince is CP/CP1 so clockwork princess is CP2
Oh, thanks
I agree. When I first started reading City of Bones, I actually left it for a few months and then forced myself to get back in there and finish the book. I enjoyed reading them, but like you said, had to do extra work to imagine the scenes and the world! I have read up until the 4th one, and the fourth one felt really slow, so I'm actually putting off reading the 5th until the final one is released.
Thinking I should read the TID series, but tbh, not a huge fan of the writing style.
ARE U CRAZY!!!!!! THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS IS WAY BETTER THAN THE INFERNAL DEVICES AND I HOOE CASSANDRA DOES MORE ON IT BECAUSE IT IS TEH BEST BOOK EVER!!!
WHY DONT YOU ASK THE 20 MILLION MASS BEHIND READY TO RIP YOU LIMBS ONE BY ONE! THE INFERNAL DEVISES ARE BETTER!
p.s-why are we yelling?
I agree.
Squirrel64 ikr i mean yes clockwork princess is the best book in the shadowhunter universe but then we have city of glass city of heavenly fire city of ashes... i mean these three books are better than the the other 2 books of the infernal devices
Also about Magnus and Alec, I'm not sure if you have visited Cassandra Clare's website because she has extras/short stories there about the shadow hunter world. And that includes a little bit extra story of Magnus' and Alec's love story (i.e. their first kiss)
btw your hair is so cute with the bangs to the side and all, love it :)
I love both series and I agree with pretty much everything you said in this. I know some people think the series should have ended at city of glass, but city of lost souls is really good and I think the more the merrier really!
i was OK with the TMI series + TID, but the Dark Artifices? I PERSONALLY think she needs to start doing other things because she is so stuck in this world. The Dark Artifices story line doesn't impress me at all! But this is just my opinion, if you don't agree you don't have to hate.

This is the best and funniest review i have watched, like ever! 😂😂 thankyouu!
yo! Clare's Mortal Instruments is the baby bomb!
I only bought the books at work becuz they were on sale, but i read them and loved em
I listened to City of Bones because my library didn't have a physical copy, and I totally fell in love with it, but then when I went to read City of Ashes I was let down and just sort of gave up on the series. But 2 years ago I went through and read them all and I'm honestly disappointed that I continued after COG because the next three books feel like books that shouldn't have been written and were just tacked on to please the fan base.
YOUR BOOKSHELF IS LIFEEE
Valentine is like one of those psychotic criminals from Criminal Minds.
OMG YASSSS
LOL YYYYEEESSSS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
It gets even better! Each book I've read in the series, I think "that one is definitely my favorite" until I pick up the next one :] I think you'll love City of Ashes, a lot goes down.
This vid also made me want to read The Internal Devices, I was interested of it earlier already but now I REALLY want to read it since you said it's that much better. And the world really is interesting in the series so I'd like to see more of it.
Im so excited to read the mortal instruments :) the box set is on it's way to me now! Thanks for warning about spoilers !
i love this series so much! I love fantasy, and in this world there is more fantasy than in Narnia, I mean, varies, vampires, wolfs, and the best, the shadow hunters. Cassandra literally created a whole culture, she made the weapons, rules, parties, way to talk, legends, she even used words in latin, that woman is awsome! I hope I can get my book signed by her someday. I loved the way you talked, I felt like I was discussing the book with a friend, I felt the same things as you! Clary and jace have some cute moments, but I know that jace live Simon 😏
Are jace and clary siblings? X
Courtney Braeger nooo
I love The Mortal Instruments so much more than the Infernal Devices (though of course TID is very very good). To each their own, with this series, as I've come to learn.
MALEC MALEC MALEC NEVER DISS THEM! THEY ARE JUST PERFECT! ASDFGHJKL-
Agreed with the laughter thing.
A book can't make me feel anything strongly until it's made me laugh, then I connect more with it and other emotions come more easily.
Totally agree. I thought it ended, then realised it didn't so I read the fourth book and was just like 'eh...'. Is it worth reading the City of Lost Souls?
***** What order should I read the Infernal devices and Mortal instruments, iv just finished the city of bones and didnt want to tread any further until i know the proper order. Please reply
I love your channel btw
Some fans have asked and Cassandra Clare has answered in her FAQ in her website.She says to first read the first three books in TMI then read the Infernal Devices and then the other three books.Hope this helped!
+StarBubblegum thanks so much
Best video ever! :) Also, I'm in total agreement with you. The other two books that came out are kind of weak but filled with Clockwork hints and hidden messages - you will like that part.
seen the movie Loved it, Have not STARTED the first one yet got the 6th one, getting the 5 book set the 27th of this month
completely agree with the comparison between TMI and ID. I love the relationship between Will, Tessa, and Jem a lot more than Jace and Clary and I felt so much more for the characters in ID. Loved the review!
You are so funny!!and i like your point of view about this first 3 books!!you are beautiful too.
City of Fallen Angels and City of Lost Souls DEFINATELY show Cassandra Clare's growth. These two are DEFINATELY better than the other.
I adore the mortal instruments but haven't had the time for the infernal devices.
I did enjoy the infernal devices series much more, I just fell in love with the characters and I just couldn't get over it.
I stopped when you started talking about city of ashes I'm currently reading that💗
I really think the mortal Instruments top the infernal devices.... I'm sorry. I guess it's just me, but I loved the characters and the story moral in TMI than I did in TID
I agree.
Shania Johnson so...i should read the mortal instruments?
@@lemonwinnie8996 i've been wondering the same thing 😂
They just get better, like 4 is iffy but 5 is so wonderfully different that you can be more forgiving
I think each series has their own good qualities. I think the mortal instruments has overall a more interesting plot and is more fast paced. ( I haven't read it in like 4 years so I might not be absolutely accurate on that) TID is great because of the characters and the setting as well. I loved the Magnus more in TID then in TMI if that's possible. TID is my choice out of the two but they're both great. I also heard someone say, I think it was cassjaytuck that while Jace and Will can both be do
Watching you review this was super entertaining... You get so animated and emotional (in an awesome way), I just want to invite you for coffee and talk about ALL THE STUFF.
The third was definitely the best! I wish it had been the last, though.
I'm so excited for the movie, because my favourite German actor is in it! ♥
I wish this video was made like 2 months ago when I started reading. I ended up reading City of Bones first and then all three of the Infernal Devices books and I am trying to get myself back into City of Ashes. I just read these all out of order. lol
I cannot understand people who get angry at Cassandra Clare for only writing in her Shadowhunter world. To me it's the exact same thing as an author only writing contemporary novels; all of their novels are set in the same world. Cassandra Clare's books have the benefit of beautiful world building because this is a world that she knows everything about and with each successive book is eager to introduce you further into.
Thanks sooo much, this has helped SOOO much!! xx
Great video! I love these books, although I definitely have frustrations too. I started from TMI because TID weren't out when I began reading, so I liked being able to read them in the order that they came out in, which I think would be sort of weird to do now because you'd be hopping back and forth between series. As far as my frustrations, I initially had a hard time getting through the first book because I didn't like the characters! I do now though, and I thought the movie was pretty good.
I love both series. I love all the series that Cassie writes actually. I'm a big TMI fan over TID because I found TMI first, read them all, that are out, then found TID.
I love the Mortal Instruments series, but I probably will never finish the Infernal Devices one. I'm not all that interested in it. I read the first one and liked it, but I don't see myself finishing it. Can't wait for book 6 for TMI
Have you read any of the Joe Ledger series books ?
I agree about the Jase and Clary brother sister thing. It caused me to stop reading the series for a few months after I realized that book two didn't show any change with their relationship. I really don't get why Cassandra Clare did that, but I have read the third one now and I still love her books. :)
Hey Katy, have you read city of fallen angels and city of lost souls yet? can't wait to hear your thoughts on them :D
City of Glass was the best!
This was a great book talk. I have to say, I probably prefer TID more compared to TMI, but I really enjoy getting lost in the world and the hype around it. I enjoyed the movie - but I think you have to go to any movie-based-on-a-book with a certain amount of joy to just be seeing it. Sometimes they can suck, sometimes they are awesome.
EIther way, I am probably going to re-read TMI soon :D Thanks for the video!
SERIOUSLY. I was definitely feeling Jace/Simon more than Jace/Clary in "City of Ashes." I almost thought I was going crazy, but thank you for confirming!
THANK YOU. ANOTHER PERSON IN THE UNIVERSE WHO HAS A BRAIN.
I never believed the sibling thing too. I was like there is no way that can be true but it makes sense to the story.
