I devour books for a living. I have come to that conclusion. I told myself I was going to read City of Fallen Angels slow. Apparently that means 2 days, because I finished it today in 7th hour. Speed reader for the win? To Cassandra Clare, you are AMAZING. This book was flawless! I wish I could write something like that! AND SUCH A HORRIBLE CLIFFHANGER. I have taken a liking to this new character Jordan Kyle. (He went by Kyle for like the first half of the book and then it was discovered that Kyle was his last name. I'm still not used to that). And I love how involved every character was in this book. Well, Alec and Magnus took forever to get into things, but whatever. They're adorable. Just, this book was so insane! But such an amazing plot! So thought through! And the ending sent me reeling! Now I have to wait for the next book. That's going to be a while.... BUT AHHH. So much Simon. <3 And more quotes to love. Oh also today I went to the doctor. I might have a sinus infection. Yay plugged ears. I feel like I'm under water. Antibiotics? WOO. Oh and apparently that doctor knows me as Earwax Girl....
Wonderful.
"Just think of yourself as someone who has two fathers for a while."
"You can't have two fathers."
"Sure you can. Who says you can't? We can buy you one of those books they have for little kids. Timmy Has Two Dads. Except I don't think they have one called Timmy Has Two Dads and One of Them was Evil. That part you're just going to have to work through on your own."
"It's fascinating. You know all these words, and they're all English, but when you string them together into sentences, they just don't make any sense."
-Simon and Jace; page 133
"But you're a vampire. Blood isn't like food for you. Blood is...blood."
"That's very illuminating. Do you have a lot of other profound thoughts like that? Blood is blood? A toaster is a toaster? A Gelatinous Cube is a Gelatinous Cube?"
"Fine. Ignore my advice. You'll be sorry later."
"That's my room mate, Kyle. Be nice."
"I'm always nice."
-Jace and Simon; page 135
"I'm not too fond of their kind, though. They think they're better than everyone else."
"No, I think I'm better than everyone else. An opinion that has been backed up with ample evidence."
"Does he always talk like this?"
"Yes."
"Does anything shut him up? Other than getting the crap beaten out of him, of course."
"I would love for you to try."
-Jordan and Jace; page 141
"I can keep a perfectly good eye on Simon, thank you. He's my neophyte Downworlder to mock and boss around, not yours." -Jace; page 144
"Well I guess I'll see you around. You're the first Shadowhunter I've ever met."
"That's too bad, since all the ones you meet from now on will be a terrible letdown."
-Jordan and Jace; page 144
"Please tell me you're not actually planning on staying in my room."
"You really don't get this bodyguard thing, do you?"
"I didn't even think you like me all that much. Is this one of those keep-your-friends-close-and-your-enemies-closer things?"
"I thought it was keep your friends close so you have someone to drive the car when you sneak over to your enemy's house at night and throw up in his mailbox."
"I'm pretty sure that's not it."
-Simon and Jace; page 145
"I bet you thought you were very clever, sneaking off like that."
"Medium clever. Like a cross between George Clooney in Ocean's Eleven and those MythBusters guys, but, you know, better looking."
"I'm always so glad I have no idea what you're vacantly chattering about. It fills me with a sense of peace and well-being."
-Jace and Simon; page 156
"When did you two get so buddy-buddy? Last night it was all, 'I'm the most elite warrior!' 'No, I'm the most elite warrior!' And today you're playing Halo and giving each other props for good ideas."
"We realized we have something in common. You annoy us both."
-Simon and Jace; page 158
"Are you ever going to go home?"
"What, bored with my company already?"
"Let me ask you something. Do you find me fascinating to be around?"
"What was that? Sorry, I think I fell asleep for a moment. Do continue with whatever mesmerizing thing you were saying."
-Simon and Jace; page 161
"So you're trying to make her happy despite the fact that the reason she's unhappy in the first place is you. That seems contradictory, doesn't it?"
"Love is a contradiction."
-Simon and Jace; page 162
"Break a leg up there. And I'll be down here, hopefully breaking someone else's."
-Jace; page 172
"But I watch my brothers give their hearts away and I think, Don't you know better? Hearts are breakable. And I think even when you heal, you're never what you were before." -Isabelle; page 239
"Pretty boys have always been your undoing, but what can some mortal child give you? Ten years, twenty, before dissolution begins to claim him. Forty years, fifty, before death takes him. I can give you all of eternity."
"You could give me the past. But Alec is my future."
-Camille and Magnus; page 262
"I guess you're coming as my date now."
"I'm secure enough in my masculinity to accept that. We'd better get you something nice to wear, though. I want you to look pretty."
-Simon and Jordan; page 282
"I was just wondering if you were armed. You want anything? Dagger, maybe?"
"No wonder you and Jace like each other so much. You're both crazy walking arsenals."
-Jordan and Simon; page 290
"I feel a sense of responsibility."
"And where is this feeling located? In your pants, perhaps? Don't bother her, don't try to talk to her, don't even look at her, or I'll fold you in half so many times you'll look like a tiny little origami werewolf."
-Jordan and Isabelle; page 291
"I knew the man who founded it. Back in the 1800s. Woolsey Scott. Respectable old werewolf family."
"Did you sleep with him, too?"
"Alexander!"
-Magnus and Alec; page 294
"I met Napoleon once. We didn't have an affair, though. He was shockingly prudish for a Frenchman."
-Magnus; page 295
"Or there are plenty of girls here, since apparently your taste goes both ways. Is there anything you aren't into?"
"Mermaids. They always smell like seaweed."
"It's not funny."
-Alec and Magnus; page 295
"Bat says I shouldn't be so hard on you. He says guys do stupid things when girls are involved. Especially geeky ones who previously haven't had much luck with women."
"It's like he can see into my soul."
-Maia and Simon; page 299
"He told me he was going to be right back. That was forty minutes ago. I figured he was going to the bathroom!"
"What kind of guardian are you? Shouldn't you have gone to the bathroom with him?"
"Dudes do not follow other dudes to the bathroom."
"Latent homosexual panic will do you in every time."
-Jordan and Isabelle; page 317
"You never told me. Never warned me it would be like this, that I would wake up one day and realize that i was going somewhere you couldn't follow. That we are essentially not the same. There's not 'till death do us part' for those who never die." -Alec; page 377
"This was Jace being Brave, Simon thought, brave and snarky because he thought Lillith was going to kill him, and that was the way he wanted to go, unafraid and on his feet. Like a warrior. The way Shadowhunters did. His death song would always be this-jokes and snideness and pretend arrogance, and that look in his eyes that said, 'I'm better than you.' Simon just hadn't realized it before."
-page 384
"He had given Clary and Simon an astonished look, but then his attention went, as it always did, to Jace. He might not be in love with Jace anymore, if he ever really had been, but they were still parabatai, and Jace was always first on his mind in any battle."
-page 393
"I'm a Shadowhunter. Magnus, this is what I do. It's not about you. Next time fall in love with an insurance adjuster or-"
"Alexander, There isn't going to be a next time."
-Alec and Magnus; page 414
