HELLO BACK MY POTATOES!!!! POTATO GIRL here, with another blog for you! This blog is about my favorite book series from middle school, written by an amazing woman (Cassandra Clare). In my opinion, she has a great imagination! Enjoy, and remember to write down in the comment section YOUR reactions!!!
This story needs an explanation. In this world, the humans are surrounded by magical creatures. The story revolves around the species called the Shadowhunters. The human don't know of this species because they've been kept secret for a 1000 years. A long time ago, Johnathan Shadowhunter summoned an angel named Raziel, who is widely known figure to the Shadowhunters in the story. Raziel gave Johnathan a species to protect the humans from the demons. These people are like humans, but they have drank from the Mortal Cup. The Mortal Cup is a goblet that turns humans into half angel, half human beings. These are called Shadowhunters. The main Shadowhunters in this story are the Lightwoods, the Fairchilds, the Herondales, and the Morgensterns.
We start with a girl named Clary Fray. She has a mother named Jocelyn Fray, and a father figure named Luke. Clary and Simon went to the club Pandamonium on her 18th birthday. On that night, Clary saw Shadowhunters kill demons in the club. When I imagined Clary scream, I imagined an eagle screech come out of her mouth. It was extremely funny, and I laughed so hard that my neighbors came to check on me to see if I was ok. Let's skip to when Clary was fighting her first demon in her house. We find out that the Shadowhunter's names are Jace, Isabelle, and Alec. Jace Wayland has blond hair and golden eyes. Isabelle Lightwood had black hair and ebony-colored eyes. Alec Lightwood has black hair and blue eyes. Now, let's see if you can imagine this: there's scraps everywhere on the floor. Clary is pinned to the floor by the demon, and Clary's covered in blood, her clothes in tatters. She shoves Jace's device down the demon's throat, and explodes, chunks of meat dissolving on the floor. Jace comes to help Clary, and she falls unconscious.
When Clary wakes up, she finds she's in a strange hospital room. She looks at the walls and the entire room. Everything's a greyish-white color. Isabelle enters the room. I imagined Isabelle looking like a super model, since the book described her as a knockout. She gives Clary clothes to change into. Later on, after Clary meets Alec, she finds Jace and is introduced to Hodge Starkweather. He has old-man like features, and has a bird named Hugo perched on his shoulder. He struck me a nice man, yet with that unsettle like feeling, like the expression is fake. Later on, Clary finds her last name is Fairchild, and a new life ahead of her. Let me put you in her shoes: a girl who just found out that her father (Valentine Morgenstern) is a bad person who's responsible for the deaths of hundreds. And a girl who's the key to stopping those deaths from continuing. She meets, or re-meets, a man named Magnus Bane. He's a warlock with asian-like features. He's really slender, tall, and has golden cat-like eyes. Clary slowly starts to remember the magical occurrences in her early life. Magnus then flirts with Alec. I immediately fan-girl, and at the same time make a huge discovery. This was the book I've read that had a gay relationship. It was weird, but great that I've accomplished something.
Back to the story, Isabelle then comes and announces that Simon has been captured by vampires. Jace and Clary goes to rescue Simon, then head back to the Institute. In the library, Clary discovers where the Mortal Cup is by trying out an art technique with runes. Runes are symbols that Shadowhunters burn onto their skin to make themselves stronger in life situations. The 4 Shadowhunters go back to Clary's old apartment, only to be attacked by a very strong demon. Alec is injured, Isabelle is still fine, but Jace is captured by Valentine an taken to Blackwell Island. When Clary comes to the Island, she finds Jace, but she then learns from Jace that he is her brother. This is sort of awkward because Jace and Clary kissed before she went to the library. Valentine tried to persuade Clary to join Jace an him, but ends up losing both Jace and Clary, forcing him to retreat to Idris, the main city of the Shadowhunters. Clary and Jace become siblings, but find out Jocelyn is in a magic sleep, leaving the two to get a cure to wake her up.
