This parallel is so sad but in every series this happens. One sibling dies in the arms of the other:
TID: Nate dies in Tessa's arms
TLH: Christopher dies in Anna's arms
TMI: Jonathan dies in Clary's arms
TDA: Livvy dies in Julian's arms

If Kit calls Tessa and Jem "Mom and Dad" in TWP, I will scream and cry and get pretty emotional in a good way

Octavian means The Eighth. But there are only seven Blackthorn siblings. Do you know what that means? Andrew and Eleanor Blackthorn have considered Emma as one of theirs

Do you remember the night when Tessa and Jem rescued Will from the opium den? Jem punched Will in the face and moments later almost had slept with Tessa? That was definitely a fierce midnight

My Chain Of Thorns Review
After six months I finally managed to finish Chain Of Thorns. I started in February, had many interruptions and finally finished this book.
I'm a little disappointed. Chain Of Iron ended so well, I was so excited to see what would happen next and it was just disappointing. Over 300 pages almost nothing happened except the love drama triangle between Matthew, James and Cordelia. It was frustrating.
But halfway through the book I started to enjoy reading again. The emotions were so good that I had to cry all the time myself. And I liked the friendships so much. And I love Grace
Now begins the actual review
Matthew Fairchild and Cordelia Carstairs:
The whole Paris storyline was just weird, wrong and terrible. Yes, at first I thought it was really cute how Matthew took care of Cordelia. He tried as best he could to distract her from James. But Matthew was just a creep. I'm sorry but he was so obviously hitting on Cordelia it was disgusting. And he promised her he wouldn't. Matthew lied about his sobriety the whole time. He lied to Cordelia's face. That made Matthew very unlikeable to me. And the fact that they were kissing was so obvious, but James catching them I thought was kind of funny. But I liked that Cordelia after some back and forth finally told Matthew that she feels no love for him.
James Herondale and Cordelia Carstairs
Let's stay right with Cordelia and James. The two of them drove me to despair. In the first two books I could still handle it, but in ChoT was really just annoying. It really bugged me that they both couldn't talk to each other! They had had the opportunity and several times but they never took that opportunity! And it was all because of Grace and the bracelet. And quite ironic that Grace had told Cordelia the whole truth, which James was incapable of doing. Thanks Grace! But I'm really glad that these two have found their way to each other now and that they are going to be happy together. And it was really hot when James shot open the bedroom door and ripped Cordelia's dress.
Lucie Herondale and Jesse Blackthorn
What can I say about them? Except that I love them more and more. How they took care of each other, they dealt with their little problems together and they argued quite rarely. When they did argue, they settled the argument very quickly. Lucie and Jesse proved again that they are the purest couple in the entire book series. And I am so happy for them that they now have a future together
Anna Lightwood and Ari Bridgestock
If any couple had the best development, it's these two. They broke up ugly in Chain Of Iron, both were heartbroken. But when Ari was in need, fleeing her parents' home, Anna was there for her without hesitation. It was so nice to see Anna allowing Ari's love more and more, and that in the final battle Anna confessed to Ari that she didn't want Ari to leave. And it had been so beautiful when they danced together at the Christmas party. And I don't know why but those two give me sizzy vibes
Thomas Lightwood and Alastair Carstairs
These two have been carrying this book on their backs! No couple has frustrated me as much but also made me laugh as much as these two idiots. I always thought Cordelia and James were queen and king of miscommunication but Alastair and Thomas knocked them off their throne. But the funniest thing was, one of the first fire messages Thomas sent to Alastair. It made me laugh so hard. And finally Alastair realized he deserved love too. And Thomas was such a cute idiot in love, he likes to forget his shoes when he meets with Alastair. And when the institute was attacked by Tatiana, they almost slept together. In a carriage. I love them both and I am so happy that they can live together now.
Grace Blackthorn and Christopher Lightwood
I will never forgive Cassie for killing Christopher. Grace and Christopher were so cute together, they understood each other. And the most beautiful thing was that even though Christopher knew what Grace did, he didn't judge her. He still saw the good in her. And they definitely would have made one of the greatest couples TSC has ever had. It's not confirmed in the book, but I think they both loved each other very much. But when Christopher's ghost showed up at Grace's lab, it made me cry. It was so heartbreaking. I think I felt for Grace and Christopher the most. It was so nice that Christopher celebrated Christmas with Grave. That warmed my heart a lot.
Things I didn't like:
James and Matthew fight over Cordelia as if she were some toy
Cordelia, who puts herself too much in the victim role and blames everyone for everything
Cordelia and Lucie's fight. They argued so much that Cordelia made Lucie cry
The whole Paris storyline
That James did not manage to tell Cordelia the truth
Christopher's death that was just unnecessary
That over 300 pages nothing happened
The character development of Cordelia. She was annoying at the beginning until the middle of the book.
Things I liked
Tatiana, who crashed into the Christmas party and outed Tessa as Belial's daughter
That Grace became a part of the group and managed to complete the invention of fire messages
Every moment with Thomastair, AnnaAri, Gracestopher and Ghostwriter
Winston the parrot is my new favorite character
Matthew's reaction when Thomas came out
The Merry Thieves sleep together in Matthew's apartment
Anna and Ari dancing together
Lucie and Grace being badass
Will, Magnus and James, who were searching for Lucie
The character development of Grace, Alastair and Anna
My rating:
3 ⭐ 5 of possible stars

Jace: *did something stupid*
Tessa: Jem, could you help me?
Jem: your offspring, your problem
Tessa: we're married, James. So Jace is your problem too

What pisses me off the most about ShadowhuntersTV:
Explanation (books):
In the books we find out that newborn shadowhunter babies go through a protection ritual. This ritual is accompanied by a Brother of Silence and an Iron Sister. Or in Clary's case, by Tessa Gray, a warlock. This ritual prevents demons from possessing shadowhunters.
Yes, Jace could be possessed by Lilith in City of Fallen Angels, but only because the ritual was lifted from Jace because he died.
Jesse could only be possessed by Belial because the protection ritual was never properly performed. (Belial had ensured that he can take possession of Jesse.)
And there are also reasons why there are institutes: the institutes offer protection from demons!
Demons or vampires can enter the institute only one way and that is through the sanctuary.
But ShadowhuntersTV is just given a shit about everything. Alec and other shadowhunters could easily be possessed by a demon and once killed half the staff of the New York Institute. Seriously now? You had one job and that was to make a TV show based on a book series and you couldn't even do that.
