Dear Jace,
You're letter to Clary made me want to cry. You're so sweet and I believe that in the end you'll make the nest decision for you.
-love, Ryan and Selli
CoFA was a roller coaster of emotions it played on them all and left you gasping for air. It made me wish the world of the Shadowhunters and Downworlders truly existed.
******SPOILERS******
First off, Jace I love you to death, but really. Thinking that Clary and you can't be together.... WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?!!?!!?!!?!!?
I just wanted to walk into that book and smack you up over the head with a gigantic Harry Potter book. Second, Magnus and Alec, you belong together please please please don't ever change or let anything get between you two i will honestly cry myself to sleep. Third, Simon you retard, why can't you choose one and move on. I'm not really a fan of Maia, I feel like shes too wolfy (no pun intended) Isabelle's kind of mean and it's sometimes hard to understand her, but I know you'll find a way.
Overall my initial reaction was that it was nothing like the rest of the series for the first third of the book, then after that it was like BAM! and you were back into the TMI world. Somethings truly surprised me like how easy going Simon's bandmates were about him being a vampire, but we knew they were weird anyway.
The whole book truly is a roller coaster. At the beggenning you're slowly climbing up to the top with the constant tick-tick-tick-tick noise and its boring but you know its coming, you can't close your eyes cause you want to feel this experience with your eyes wide open and shedding tears. It's a fantastic plot line and Cassie has done it again! It went by all too fast and I can't wait for City of Lost Souls or Clockwork Prince from the Infernal Devices series also by Cassandra Clare.
Let me just say, Holy-Buckets-Of-Freaking-Cold-Water. Splash it on my face now and tell me this isn't real. I usually try to stear clear of having bad reviews of books, but this time, oh boy. No offense to the author or anyone who enjoyed this series. I liked it too, and she's a great artist, truly is I was just dissapointed at the progression of everything. Wendy's a smart protagonist, I liked her and I absolutley loved Finn. There's just something about a guy who uses the F-word in front of a lady when he's kicking butt to save her life. It was a good book and usually I read the first installment in a series and I say yeah they're gonna end up together. I've got everything planned out including who's gonna be involved in the love triangle and stuff like that. Not this time. Finn started to not stick up for her or anything, and I thought okay he's doing this to push her away because she's a (*spoiler*) princess and he's a lowly tracker, but it didn't change. She didn't end up with him. I'm a huge sucker for everyhting romance and not gonna happen in real life, but this book made me want to cry and yell WTF out the window. It was so different from anything I'd read before. Amanda Hocking is a great author don't get me wrong. I love her My Blood Approves series, but the series isn't done yet, and I'm afraid the protagonist isn't going to end up with who I thought she was. There's only book left, but a lot of things can change. Read the book, just cause I didn't like it, doesn't mean you won't. :) Amanda you're beatiful, and I mean no offense by this, it shocked me, but the book truly did captivate me and it was a good read.
