The Mortal Instruments: City of Heavenly Fire (THE END)

 I have finished reading the 6th and last book of one of my favorite young adult fiction book, CohF (City of heavenly fire). So I supposed I have to make a review a least. 

I'll make it short because I have to blog also my favorite parts of the book and judge the characters, that too. 

It's been months... or years? since I've read this series. The first book really fascinates me, I've been a huge fan of story about demons and angels (sorry for being cliche) that's why I felt I need to read this. So thus it was the beginning of an addiction I never knew I'll be able to.

I have a confession to make first, one of the reason why I wanted to read TMI (The Mortal Instruments) because of it's unique book tittle. 

The book was wonderfully written and I love the author (for the first book, City of Bones)  I fell in love with it right away like how in an instant a cat would fell in love with milk (okay so my comparison weren't exactly good but I need to make a point.) I remember the feeling of a "brokenhearted bookworm" when I found out the Jace and Clary were siblings. But that didn't stop me from shipping them. 

For the first time, I decided that this will be my favorite young adult fiction book. 

For the next books:

Book 2: this is where my viewpoint in every characters changed. 

Book 3: my favorite of all. This is the almost-happy-ending. 

Book 4 & 5: The pain, the I-want-more!, the another broken heart when Magnus and Alec broke up, and a lot of things happened here that I actually disliked.

And now, for the last book, the book I have waited for months to read this and finally, I found an e-book and read it for a day (yes, I just read it this morning) 

I am disappointed. 

Not really disappointed disappointed but the kind of disappointment when a book that you have a lot of expectations suddenly became... not boring, but actually you'll prepare not reading just so your expectations would live on. 

And after reading the book, I was like:

The book 6, lack actions! and I was waiting for something, like the most heartbreaking part and it showed none. I mean come on?! I would've prepared that Clary and Jace would die together at the demon realm. 

Okay, I'll be a little bit straightforward, I didn't like the book 6 after all except the part that Alec and Magnus got back together and willing to take the risk and Simon and Isabelle who finally said the sacred words : I love you to each other.

But of course, on the brighter side, I also love the book (not that my dislike mattered at all) because I felt the happiness once again while reading, having that I-miss-this-character-moments, and my eagerness to finish it and to love it but not just as much as the other five.

It was a bit different though, it felt like the characters made a progress as the series goes on. Actually, I'm really not at my best when explaining things but I love the book do not be confuse, it wasn't just what I expected, what ending I wanted, what story... I desired to commence. 

I was disappointed yes but all throughout it always remind me how I love the series, and it never fails to amuse on every chapter. I know it's difficult to understand what I'm trying to point out (but I understand myself so BLEH!) it's just that I wanted more of it, more of something and Cassandra Clare didn't supply that.

THE C H A R A C T E R S:

Clarissa Morgernstern/Clary Fray: I love her. She's tiny and brave and exquisite. She was like the fire of the blazing hell, the one that lit up everything, she gave the excitement and she has the courage. In the last book, she was great but I almost hate her because of hating Sebastian (the villain, because Sebastian is one of my favorite characters) and still not accepting him but oh well, he's her brother so I understand. lol

Jace Herondale: On the first book, I loved him, but after reading the fifth and sixth, my feelings for him decreased. But I do love him too.

Simon: I LOVE THIS GUY. Seriously, he was not that kind of fictional character you would fall in love with in that instant, he was the kind of the fictional character you think was the OK-guy but he wasn't. I love him as the story continue because he's brave just like Clary and he loves Isabelle. hehe. 

Isabelle: Well, the girl with elegant elements and the fierce one. At first I actually doesn't give a shit about her but she was different and I love her for it. She's a great person and loves to hide her feelings yet, like me, I feel that she's just craving for affection, craving something for Simon! I seriously ship this two!

Magnus Bane & Alec Lighwood: No words can explain how I SHIP and love them, individually and as lovers. (P.S I'm not being lazy okay?)

Maia: I love her first then hate her. She said she didn't loved Jordan at all, like what the hell bitch?! You flirted with him AND HAD SEX. 

Jordan: RIP

Raphael: RIP

Queen of Seelie Court: Well, fuck you bitch. 

Sebastian/ Jonathan : The villain, in the first three books it was his father (Clary's father too) but then on the next three, he was the villain. He's the villain you'll never hate, I don't know I actually don't hate him not even a bit (and I'm not saying that I approved his works, NO) even if he killed a lot of Shadowhunters (I hate them too actually) and he has this incest love to his sister. I felt the opposite, I felt pity and how I wonder if Sebastian wasn't like that, if he didn't have the blood of the demons. He died though but I wasn't sad because I knew he would die (psh) but at least he regrets everything and apologized to his mother and sister. OKAY, I've said too much but I really like his character. NO HATE. 

Jocelyn and Luke: CONGRATS on your wedding!

If there are some main characters and I didn't put them here then that means I actually don't care if they die or not. 

It isn't sinking in actually, that this series is finished and I don't have anything to wait anymore. Sad yes, but a bit of happy too because finally, after everything, they now have (NOT ENDING) but a new beginning and I hope BY THE ANGEL there won't be no blood war again and I won't be reading the "The Dark Artifices" the new series of Cassandra Clare. I know some of the characters of TMI might be there too but... it's... I can't take it anymore.

This isn't goodbye, of course I'll remember that once upon my college life, I read a book of trying to change your destiny, of being free. 

You'll always going to be in my heart and head, especially Magnus and Alec. 

I might add some details sooner or later but I can't, I mean not now. Chao!

END OF THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS SERIES.

Sherlock Series & Why I am addicted into it.

    From the original works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and now showing as a television series that contains three seasons with three episodes, yet it doesn't supply my satisfaction. Sherlock had solved lots of major cases around Britain with his ever so loyal bachelor assistant/friend, Dr. John Watson, and I love his blog by the way.

Months ago while I was utterly bored of those cliche movies/series here in my unscrupulous country, I discovered Sherlock Holmes series. And how it turned me on (not physically I mean.)

I became a huge fan of Dan Brown who created: Angels and Demons, Da Vinci Code (one of his bests I suppose), Inferno and a lot more. All of this books are thriller/crime/mystery genres, which I presumed that Dan Brown is specialized into. The connection about the Sherlock Holmes series and Dan Brown books are obvious, only dumb people won't get it, and I hope as a reader, you are not.

Basically, it's solving crimes blah blah blah, but the main reason why I was attracted to this series was how he managed to predict the outcomes, the "way" of the killers, even his almost-correct theories (which happen often) because he always get it exactly correct. That is Sherlock Homes. And Dr. John Watson, he's helpful and... not exactly calculable but still unique in his own way. The best thing is how I expected the unexpected, and it surely doesn't disappoint me. 

As an internet addict, I found the whole series on the famous "Youtube" which how I came curious on why it isn't banned. But thanks the angel for that (Mortal Instruments words, huge fan here), because I had the opportunity to watch and enjoy its every amazing episodes. I anticipated Sherlock's every movement and how, oh how it entertains me.

He speak fast that he might say 1.000 words per minute (I do not know if he can do that, just an expression, but I think he actually can). It annoys me actually because sometimes I can't understand his words fully well. But on the bright side, it's fascinating, he looks more "Sherlock" in that way.

Before, I wanted to watch the "Supernatural" series because... I love the twist and plots and the actors but now I may have put it on my pending list with "Vampire Diaries" and "Game of Thrones" because of this famous Sherlock. I love Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman (Sherlock and Watson) because they acted professionally. For some reason I can't describe how great they were but..okay they're incredible.

I wonder how Sherlock's mind works, how he can see the tiniest detail that you have to use a microscope for it (am I right?). He study a person in just one look and he can gather all the details he needed. I praise him that much.

And because of this series, I'm going to write a mystery story on Wattpad that I hope my fans/readers would appreciate too just like my very fist story "A gangster love story" which is plain, annoying and cliche. But! I have almost 70, 000 readers and a hundred plus comments for that. Bwahahaha.

Back to my topic, as I was saying Sherlock influenced me to a lot of things especially this blog post. If you are my follower from the start you know how lazy I am to create blog post that I would just use photographs and poems to explain things. And this is unnatural isn't it? That's how marvelous Sherlock Series is.

I highly recommend this one!

Love,
