If you didn't know this already....I love to read.
Books are freaking awesome. And I have a few book series' that I nearly worship. Two of them are written by this kick ass author named Cassandra Clare. She is my idol. I want to write books that are as captivating as hers.
Anywho...one of her series of books is called The Mortal Instruments series. It includes 5/will include 6 books. Trust me, they are amazing. Even if the base story line is too....odd for you, you will love Jace. He is the male lead in the series and he is super gorgeous. You cannot NOT love Jace...even though he can be very frustrating at times. :P
The books are set in modern times and are about the main character, Clary, and her journey to find herself. She and her best friend, Simon, are at the Pandemonium Club when they meet the people who will inevitably change their lives.
The premise in these books is that there is a group of extraordinary people, known as Shadowhunters, that protect the normal humans (mundanes) from demons. Mundanes can't see any of this going on because of glamours. They act to shield and further protect the mundanes from a world they would not accept or understand. Among the Shadowhunters, there are fairies, warlocks, vampires, and werewolves. Just about all of those things we believed in as kids, but were told, and eventually convinced, never existed.
AAAANYWHOOO...Clary, for some reason, can see these things (unlike a regular mundane) and she finds herself abruptly thrown into the Shadowhunter world (Simon along with her), where she finds out that she is a Shadowhunter herself.
I'd love to say more, but just in case some random person who hasn't read the series stumbles upon my blog, I don't want to give too much away. If that tidbit of information kindled some intrigue, feel free to check out the series. I'm sure you'll love it.
In another post, I think I'll just discuss the wonderousness of he who is Jace. That post will hopefully be up soon. :)
Love to my reader and another post yet again within a week. <3
Man oh man... what a title. I read it and I immediately knew this post was about The Mortal Insrtuments. How could I not? And, um, yes please to the Jace post! And also, wonderful summary of the series.
ReplyDeleteOoh! Also, Isabelle has been cast! So has Alec, but the actor's name hasn't been released yet. But apparently, he's British...
Haha for reals? That's awesome!!! The Jace post is already on my To Do list of posts. :)
ReplyDeleteI saw that Izzy was, but I didn't see Alec. At least I don't think I did. I went on like 1 or 2 days ago.
British is cool. :P
You know what would be AMAZING???? Darren Criss as Magnus :D
Darren Cries WOULD be amazing... but it's not him :( However, the vast majority of the cast has been decided - INCLUDING the official announcement of Alec. Check it out!
