HELLO, MY POTATOES!!! I'm POTATO GIRL and I'm back with part 2 of the mortal instrument blogs. Now, you may be wondering,"Potato Girl, how many parts are there to these blogs. Well, I'm doing a blog reaction to each blog, so after this, there are going to be 4 more blogs. Anyways, today I'm posting my reaction to the second book in the series: The City Of Ashes. Hope you dudes enjoy!
We stopped off when Clary and Jace found out they were siblings, and they were finding the cure for their mother, Jocelyn Fairchild. Valentine's whereabouts are revealed in the prolog of the story. where he gets a warlock child to summon a very strong demon, but the warlock gets killed in the process. The mysterious demon and Valentine make a deal, and the prolog ends.
The real story starts at the Institute when Alec and Isabelle's mother (Maryse), father (Robert) and little brother (Max) return from their trip in Idris. Maryse suddenly curses out Jace by saying he's just like his father Valentine, and that she doesn't want to see him anymore. This causes Jace to leave and cause havoc in a werewolf bar. At Simon's house, where Simon and Clary are starting to fall in love. I was a bit upset with this because I thought Jace and Clary would end up together. Even though they're siblings, it's obvious the two love each other. As I usually say, love is love and it doesn't matter who you love as long as the love is true and not one-sided.
Luke calls Clary over because of what Jace did. It turns out that Maryse said those things because the Inquisitor, also known as Imogen Herondale, was coming to take away Jace to the Silent City, where he will later be put to trial under the Mortal Sword. The Shadowhunters believed that the Mortal Sword is one of the 3 Mortal Instruments. When these instruments are combined in a certain ritual, Angel Raziel will come down to the person responsible of the ritual and grant them a wish. The Instruments are the Mortal Cup, the Mortal Sword, and the Mortal Mirror. The Mortal Cup, as you know, can turn regular people n Shadowhunters. The Mortal Sword can make Shadowhunters tell the truth. Finally, the Mortal Mirror can drive Shadowhunters into madness. The night before the trial, Valentine came to visit Jace. He says to Jace that he has big plans for the sword and the cup he stole as well. This causes Jace to get accused of stealing the sword and giving it to Valentine. He is also accused of killing one of the Silent Brothers, keepers of the Silent City.
Jace gets freed from the prison by Clary, Isabelle, and Alec. Clary uses a particular rune to wreck the door, which leaves the three Shadowhunters in confusion in how Clary made that strong of a rune. Clary and the others went to hide in Luke's house, causing them to meet a female werewolf named Maia Roberts. I imagined Maia as a scruffy looking girl, like a cross between a hobo and a skateboarder. I pretty much imagined myself, but older. Let's skip to when Simon was digging himself out of his grave. It turns out that while he was staying with the vampires, some vampire blood was given to him. Because of that, Simon turned into a vampire. Maia, since she is a werewolf, hates Simon. I hate people hating other races just because of how they are. It doesn't matter. This is just like the African American problem from back then.
Anyways, we later find out that Valentine has been killing Downworlders to perform a certain ritual. He needs children Downworlders, so he went after Simon and Maia. Clary, Jace, and the others go to rescue them with the help of the warlock Magnus Bane. Jace, Alec, and Isabelle discovered earlier that Clary had the power to make runes. This surprised me because NO Shadowhunter has even been able to do that. Anyways, Clary gave her friends the Fearless rune, so they were fighting better than ever. Simon was barely alive when Jace found him, so he gave Simon his blood to drink. Maia was ok, and Valentine was defeated by Clary writing "destroy" with her stele on the ship floor. Sadly, Imogen was killed by a flying demon on the ship, so she sunk to the bottom of the ocean floor. Clary and the others were about to go back to the Institute when they see Simon in the sunlight. Apparently, he was filled with Shadowhunter blood because of Jace, and could now walk in the sun. Clary was at the hospital taking care of her mom when a mysterious woman came to sit next to her. Her name was Madeline, and she knew how to cure her mother.
Now THAT was a PLOT TWIST!!! Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed my blog and stay tuned for part 3, The City Of Glass. Hope you guys liked this blog and comment on my other blogs.
