It has become increasingly difficult to make progress with this book. It’s the sort of slump I get into with each installment, which is ridiculous considering how much time I actually spend thinking about the series and forming my thoughts. But hey, back again with another chapter.

One of the reasons why returning to the story sucks is that I remember this book better than City of Fallen Angels, and I don’t know how to internally deal with how bad the storylines of (especially) Alec, Maia, and Jordan are. But as always, let’s give it a go anyway.

The chapter opens with Alec having secretly slipped away from his post in order to meet up with Camille and accost her about the spell that could make Magnus mortal. At this moment, there is no narrative reason to think Alec is playing Camille in order to learn more about Magnus (unlike Clare once states that that was the very reason why Alec went to repeatedly see Camille), and considering that the only thing Alec inquiries about is the spell itself, that whole idea holds little water as of now. Anyway.

→ No comma before “and”

→ Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Being gay does not mean you cannot appreciate female beauty or “appeal” since not everything is about physical attraction anyway. Also, funny but petulant: “I guess you’re beautiful, but I hate you so, no.”

→ This is also inconsistent with an earlier scene with Alec and Camille in the book where it says that "She was as beautiful as Alec remembered her."

Propping up Jace and also tooting your own horn. Additionally, Jace’s “cleverly disguised put-downs” are never cleverly disguised, they are always just plain old and rude put-downs.

Imagine being so jealous that you have to bully a teenager. Also, let’s leave Jace’s amazingness out of this. And no, that wasn’t something. That isn’t anything.

Imagine being so jealous—and inappropriate—that you have to flaunt your previous sex life with the ex to a teenager. Also no comma before ‘and’.

→ Considering if there is such a spell at all, why isn’t everyone just taking other people’s immortalities away left and right? Use your brain, Alec.

→ Shadowhunters can learn to work spells (like Valentine, hello?)

→ I like how Alec does not question at all how this supposed spell even works, like how would Magnus know who it was? This storyline and dialogue are so asinine that Clare wasn’t even trying to make it anything.

Alec and Camille reach an impasse, and we cut to Isabelle and Jocelyn making their way to the Adamant Citadel.

Because Jocelyn is uh-mazing. If there is one thing we have learned about Shadowhunters is that they have to rigorously train when they are teenagers but once they become adults, all the training ceases because they have apparently reached the max capacity in skill that never deteriorates. See: every adult Shadowhunter in the series ever.

The only reason why Isabelle might currently dislike Jocelyn is the fact that Jocelyn refused her the information about Robert’s affair, but otherwise there is nothing narrative-wise (considering that later in the chapter Isabelle brings up this fact again).

Also I don’t understand how any of these clauses are related:

→ Jocelyn was only a step behind her, (she was nimble and fast)

→ and as aggravating as Isabelle found Clary’s mother, (Isabelle is annoyed by Jocelyn. Additionally, I really dislike constantly calling Jocelyn what has basically become her moniker, Clary’s Mother)

→ she was glad in a moment, when Jocelyn raised her hand and a witchlight rune-stone blazed forth… (Isabelle, though being annoyed by Jocelyn, is glad that she illuminates the space?)

Okay, great. But why was Isabelle glad about it? She wasn’t worried about not knowing where they had arrived, she wasn’t afraid of their strange surroundings, she wasn’t anything about anything.

→ Then a portion of the wall slid back

Per Collins Dictionary: “You use as well when mentioning something which happens in the same way as something else already mentioned, or which should be considered at the same time as that thing.”

Per Cambridge Dictionary: also; too

→ What do you mean demon-stone as well? What is demon-stone? Another name for adamas like the demon towers in Alicante? I can’t remember (nor find) an instance where any material, especially adamas, was referred to as demon-stone. So you now just figured to call adamas demon-stone?

See the point above. What is demon wire?

→ Iron Sisters should have the courtesy of calling people with their preferred and up to date names. But barely anyone in the series actually do so anyway.

→ Being outcast means being ostracized by the society or a group, which Jocelyn sort of is, but also no because she left on her own volition. She wasn’t rejected or cast out. Also she had the freedom to prance around Alicante in City of Glass and no one made a huge fuss nor intended to escort her back to the border.

→ I also don’t particularly like the style of Cleophas’ speech, just complaining on my part

→ Meaning Silent Brothers can read minds whenever

→ Meaning Iron Sisters can read minds elsewhere but in the Citadel. Do they though?

→ Also Jace Lightwood, woooo

→ Fingers of her hands as opposed to fingers of her feet??

→ …fiery gaze. Her fingers were very long—not elegantly…

→ …adamas wall. A second Iron Sister stepped through, as if emerging from a haze of white smoke.

→ though her hair was gray and the ends of her two braids bound by gold wire.

Because what the hell is that original mess of a blurb.

→ It is a very shitty thing to entrap an angel, don’t do that.

→ In case you happen to do so, you could never force it to do your bidding.

→ You cannot force them to give you holy weapons but you can take something (undefined) by force

Okay, makes sense… until later.

The Sisters tell Isabelle and Jocelyn the nature of the demonic bond between Sebastian and Jace, essentially what everyone had already gathered but like, really honing it in.

→ Isabelle throws a Clary-esque tantrum at the Sisters and storms off very Clary-esque way.

Again, Isabelle not much liking Jocelyn though they have never interacted in any meaningful way, never built any sort of relationship where Isabelle would dislike Jocelyn for any reason, so again, there’s no reason for any of this narrative-wise.

I’ve said before and I’ll say it again: Jocelyn is a prop character, a plot point, an exposition regurgitator. There is no reason why she would even know about any of this. See this post.

We cut to Clary in the magic house, and Jace comes to get her from her room.

These sort of musings make me rip my hair out (figuratively) because these are so wholly empty and meaningless thoughts in order to add drama and flare and angst. Clary know Jace is not himself, he is somehow, someway tied to Sebastian and is not behaving right at all. So yes, he must be happy!! Why is she here to save him at all from all this happiness with Sebastian!!!!! Good lord.

Not much happens then, Jace takes Clary out on a date, and we cut to Maia and Jordan arriving at the Praetor headquarters. The word “alpha” did not age well and I cringe every time it is used.

Yes, it is, in fact, bad. This is not the time to gaslight yourself.

→ which was build a blocks of golden stone (stop filtering)

I love that we are getting brand new werewolf facts like the eyes and the protein intake in the FIFTH INSTALLMENT OF THIS SERIES.

Then cut to the Gang discussing the findings of the chapter:

→ If you happen to summon an angel, prepare to be blasted with divine wrath

→ but remember, you can take weapons by force, unless you get blasted, you know, with the divine wrath

→ Did you know that two things can be true at once? The ritual allows you to summon Raziel (because it does, duh) and be protected from his divine blasting. Also why the fuck did Raziel give means to summon him if his going to be a little bitch about it.

CLARY’S MOTHER. MY DAUGHTER.

→ Just use their names, please.

Oh my god, how does he know anything. Not like he hasn’t been sharing almost esoteric knowledge before in the series, and Alec finds it himself to be surprised by it only now.

Wow, I truly loathe this. Surprise

Y’all I endured the pseudo-incest to find this--

Demons do not possess souls. But as for the creatures you speak of, the Children of Moon, Night, Lilith, and Faerie, all are souled. It seems that your rules as to what does and does not constitute a human being are stricter than our own. Clary could have sworn the Angel’s voice had taken on a dry tone. Do you intend to challenge heaven like that other Morning Star whose name you bear, Shadowhunter?

City of Glass

Raziel rebuking and then literally smiting the genocidal freak that is Valentine presses all of the right buttons for me.

Hi everyone! I'm currently writing a kidlit book and I would love to have a few beta readers!

This is meant to be a chapter book for young readers (so about ages 7-12, probably leaning more on the younger side of this range), inspired by Daisy Meadows and Gwyneth Rees' Rainbow Fairy and Fairy Dust series respectively.

I would be happy to get some feedback and critique on this piece, especially since this is the first kidlit book I've written! You'll be reading off a google doc for this, and I'll make sure you have the ability to leave comments on the piece as well so you can leave your feedback there.

Title: Sadie And The Search For The Missing Necklace (working title, subject to change for the final product later on)

Genre: Kidlit/Fantasy

Word count: 7528

Short synopsis: After losing her grandma's necklace, Sadie must work together with a fairy named Pearl in order to find it. But can Sadie learn to trust Pearl as they continue working together, or will her doubts about others keep them from finding the necklace at all?

Desired feedback: Overall impressions, impressions about plot and characters, worldbuilding, and any other questions you might have.

Deadline: No later than Jan. 20th, 2023!

Please IM me if you're interested and/or want more details! Thank you in advance for your interest and happy reading!

Hello! Sorry to bother you, but I just binged all of The Man Who Claimed To Be Yours and it's genuinely one of the best fanfics I've ever read. I'm just wondering when the next chapter will post or if you have any estimation?? ❤️

Hi, thank you for asking. I am currently working on the new chapters. I haven't an estimation for it yet. I want to have the story finished before Joker 2 airs.

#love you anon #Just continued writing in chapter 14 which is actually 15 now #There's more violence now that he is Joker though not against Reader #Originally had Harley added into the mix to vex Reader #but I wrote her out again #Instead we have Clary who was already going to be in it and is going to be a plot device #I also wanted Joker to maim someone's face so there's that #anon answered #tmwctby

Team Good summons Azazel. As far as Clare’s foresight goes, the story also introduces the mystery of Magnus’ father, since it will be also revealed in the next and final book. considering Magnus originally wasn't a son of a Greater Demon

We can always trust Simon to narrate Alec and Magnus’ relationship issues. We can also trust Alec to have such cartoonish reactions since more is more and less is not enough for you to get it.

What is up with these ancient and/or centuries old beings harassing Alec about his relationship with Magnus. Well, in Azazel's case, probably millions or billions of years or something.

Azazel wants one happy memory from each of the participants in exchange of his plan proposition. Not the solution but an idea for one. Eventually Magnus banishes him, because they will need time to think about what Azazel said. Jordan and Maia then arrive at Magnus’ place.

Like it’s worth enough to start? Like it means necessarily anything?

→ Their cheeks were red from the cold, and Maia was wearing Jordan’s leather jacket. (I'm just bored of even the smallest things being dramatized to the max)

We cut to Jace and Clary’s grand escape from the Italian police for stealing the boat.

Related to a message I received a bit ago. Implying Jace held Clary while they escaped, because why would Clary know how to do any of that herself? It’s not like she has been trained by Jace to do anything.

They eventually return to the moving house of Sebastian who is entertained by two scantily dressed girls, one of which is a vampire. They talk shit, then Jace and Clary go up the get ready for bed. Clary goes to get a nightgown.

The idea of dressing yourself with something you father bought for your mother in hopes of her wearing something sexy. The writing doesn’t really acknowledge that so let’s not either.

I’m getting Not Like Other Girls vibes, but also far less than say, in City of Bones. This seems more good-natured musing rather than putting other girls down because you aren’t that feminine yourself.

Clary goes back to Jace, and things get hot and heavy like with every other scene with them in this book. The honestly do nothing but heavily make out whenever they are together. Which is ironic considering that Clare herself has said that Clary didn’t have a relationship with Jace in this book because Jace here was not himself but controlled by Sebastian. Which makes me question why there is so much physicality written between them then.

Plenty of reasons to stop. Mainly the one mentioned above: Jace not being Jace but one controlled by Sebastian. A reason of which Clary constantly reminds herself of, to the absolute point of being tiringly repetitive. How many times and ways you can write about Jace not being Jace because this book sure does utilize it all and then some.

Vulnerable as in for an attack with a weapon? A sharp one perhaps? :)

Glad we agree, not that it changes Clary’s behavior. It’s insane that Clare thinks that as long as she keeps writing and reminding everyone how Jace is not Jace and Clary is conflicted, it changes absolutely nothing of worth in Clary’s behavior because they keep canoodling to the end. So we enter the repetitive narrative every single time and scene they get physically close.

We cut to Simon sitting on the bed in one of the spare rooms at Magnus’. Isabelle comes to him to gossip about Maia and Jordan, because everything needs and audience and gossiping over for it to be worth something.

Why is Simon happy for Jordan? Fuck Jordan.

→ “Oh. No. No, not at all. I’m glad for Maia. This will make her really happy.” Because fuck Jordan and Jordan’s happiness. Simon was Maia’s friend first.

Then we cut to Alec visiting Camille again. In this scene, the idea that Alec visits Camille to learn more about Magnus (because Magnus is unwilling to disclose any of that information himself) becomes apparent.

This also feeds into the mystery of Magnus’ parentage and how cool and great of a demon his dad is. Compare this insistency on Magnus’ father now to the original version City of Ashes where Magnus wasn’t part Greater Demon at all.

While actively screwing up everything.

Magnus told Alec not to trust Camille but blindly trust Magnus. And then people were somehow surprised that these sucky adults both played into Alec’s insecurities and the end result was what it was? And then accountability was on no one else than Alec. I hate this storyline more so for the fact that no one acknowledges their shortcoming towards Alec but it is for Alec to carry the heavy load of his own culpability.

→ I don’t think Clare ever realized how bad it is to constantly underline Alec’s youth and age.

→ Also why are we taking relationship advice from Camille? Also consider how screwed up a situation is when the only person you can go to ask advice is someone like Camille. Do we acknowledge at least that much in the story? Nope.

→ Also sad.

I don’t believe Clare agrees with this because it is the narrative she distances herself from the further the series go, and effectively abandons it in City of Heavenly Fire. And she writes Camille, an antagonist, spouting this. But let’s not pretend that this isn’t exactly how she has written and keeps writing Clary and Jace’s relationship. They would survive every death except each other’s.

The rest is just nonsense as usual but that part stuck out. Cut to Clary dreaming her dreams.

I can’t with the scars. This book out of all the other books so far is absolutely obsessed (relative to each other) with the “ugliness” of scars that heavenly warriors as the Nephilim have and whether other HEAVENLY WARRIORS as the NEPHILIM may find them ugly. It’s such a weird mentality to have when their source of power and skill and ability is rooted in the very thing that gives them scars and makes them different from the mundanes.

This should be a nonissue, but it’s beginning to feel like obsession over how hot these specific scars actually are—the ones created by faded runes. Since unless you’re Sophie and have an actual ugly one right on your face, then the writing will go above and beyond to tell the readers how it isn’t really that ugly and she is so pretty you barely notice this big-ass thing on her face.

Her spine. Neck would suffice, especially since “her spine” is used so many times instead just ‘back’ or ‘neck’.

→ “Jace’s arms were around her, his fingers tracing a slow line up and down her spine.” → “The two of them fit together, as always, her head under his chin, her spine against the hard muscles of his chest and stomach…”

And then just two paragraphs over:

→ “She slept like that, her head tucked under Jace’s chin, her spine fitted to his body, their legs intertwined.”

Then there’s plenty more to come such as: “from the base of her spine”, “pressing against her spine”, another “heart beating against her spine”, “shudder go down her spine” and another “base of her spine”.

Which in some cases it’s fine and descriptive but mostly “her back” would suffice.

Clary wakes up and leaves Jace to sleep. She goes downstairs and sits with Sebastian.

Really, I thought he poured both for himself.

Obviously he is lying and all, but Clary was there to hear him in City of Glass and knows how it couldn’t have been accident in any way.

They talk some more, have once again the whole argument who is more like who and who is really not anything like each other (meaning either of them) which they manage to regurgitate plenty more times during the story with the exact same way and result.

If I’m being completely honest, I can see Clary and Jace having a small wedding. With only their really close friends and family. Just a small but happy wedding in the New York’s Institute. They have their wedding at midnight. And as the clock strikes midnight, they kiss and are pronounced husband and wife
