Book Discussion: City of Ashes

Here we discuss book 2 of "The Mortal Instruments" series by Cassandra Clare. Cant wait to get your opinions on the book and really cant wait to read "City of Glass"!

BOOK CLUB RULES: You may not move to the next book in a series until after the discussion video of the current book. You may not post spoilers for later books in comments or video responses. If someone does this, please mark it as spam and notify me, so that I may remove the comment.

You may now start reading "City of Glass" if you'd like :D

In case you were wondering, this is my mini-tribute to Michael. I was a huge fan of his, but I didnt want to make a tribute vid like everyone else. So I thought, I'd just do something simple-- like a nod of respect. RIP Michael.

@ErikJReyes9 Actually no, my brother is reading Mortal Instruments. He's 25 and really enjoying the books too. I hope you get to finish the books, despite all of the moving. Clockwork Angel comes out at the end of the month and I can't wait for that! I'm gunna have to reread books 1-3 before book 4 comes out in April.

@ErikJReyes9 My brother games a lot too. He's big into WoW. Well, he's more into his girlfriend right now, but that will fade soon and he'll be back into his gaming again.

@wickedlyunique Well thank you for subscribing to my channels! Yeah, I only recently found out about Jace being in Holly's books. I had seen her newest book and wasn't sure that I would read it, but now that I know Jace is in it; I have to read it lol! I really like Jace and hate him at other times, depending on his attitude lol. Simon is not a character that I care much for. I love magnus-- there is just something about him. Alec and his sister haven't really made an impression on me.

I just suscribed to both of your channels. I look forward to hearing your thoughts in your book reviews. I knew about Cassandra borrowing a few of Holly's characters, but I didn't know that Jace would be featured in Holly's books. Now I HAVE to read them. heh. I'm such a Jace fangirl. I also heart Simon&Magnus (seperately. Not as a shipping. Magnus belongs with Alec). I'm currently on pg. 335 in COG - Ididn't get much time these pass few days to read. I hope today is kind to me.

@wickedlyunique TheBestLibraryEver is my new channel. I link to it from this channel. The new channel will be all book stuff and this will just be for personal use. Holly and Clare actually do their book tours together and the Seelie Court originally comes from Holly's books. Also Jace is featured in two of Holly's newest books. I have some great news about TMI series that I've put in a video that I will be posting very so, so watch for that. I'm almost finished rereading Tithe and I love it!!

@lindsaylou04 I'm currently on page 251 - so i shall be hitting up your COG vid soon. The Modern Faerie Tales is actually the next read on my 'books I need to read' list. Every Cassandra interview I watch seems to feature Holly - they're so hilarious. What will your new channel be called?

[lindsaylou04]

@wickedlyunique I can't wait to hear your thoughts on COG! I can't really say much about your opinions in this comment because I don't want to give anything away. What did you think of the Seelie court? If you liked it then you should read Tithe by Holly Black. She inspired a lot in the Mortal Instruments series. When my new channel is ready, then I plan to review Tithe and these books there too :)

[wickedlyunique]

Again-it's like ur in my head.The only diff is that my speculation about Jace&Clary not being siblings happened when the queen of the Seelie Court asked Jace to ask Valentine:what blood runs in his veins.My theory is that when Jocelyn wakes up she'll reveal that Jace isn't her son,which really sucks for Jace,but at the same time rocks,b/c now he & Clary can be together.Jace didn't drink Simon's blood,so I'm assuming he'll be fine.I'm off to read COG.I'll checkout your COG  vid once I'm finished.
