CITY OF HEAVENLY FIRE BY CASSANDRA CLARE

My favorite scene was when Alec got drunk and yelled "I'm not your bitch" at Jace. :D

[@stefaniemollinedo577]

I loved that Jem did that. It was like finally. The cat finally got to meet the person that saved him/her (I don’t actually remember the gender of the cat). It was a bitter sweet moment for me and one that makes me want to reread TID AND TMI a million times.

[@nataliatakase2315]

The moments that broke my heart the most: When Simon lost his memories When Clary had her vision Jules having to kill his dad Emma finding out her parents are dead. My favorite scene though, has to be when Jem took church to LA and when Izzy was just like " When did brother Zachariah get hot?" classic Isabelle. Can't wait for you to read Lady Midnight!

[@jameslampley1689]

The church and Jem thing made me cry. Because we all know how much he loved his kitty cat before he became scary af.

[@MajaHelenaUrup]

" i don´t ´want the world, i want you" - Alec I started crying, and i did not stop until simon started to regain his memories:))))

[@franciscasantos3770]

It's even worse when you remember that a few chapters before that Magnus was talking about shadowhunters being so righteous and whatever and he says something along the lines of "sometimes it comes to a choice between one person and the whole world and I'm selfish enough to want them to chose me" and then Alec says he doesn't want the world he wants Magnus and OH MY HEART😭

[@TheEllaDarling]

Tessa's appearances in TMI (She was that weird chick who Clary saw talking to Magnus in City of Glass) are my favourite things. I think that Clary and Tessa could be really good friends and I hope they have more appearances in the future.

[@lubnaa.a.6192]

Clary becoming besties with her boyfriend’s great great great grandma is definitely a dynamic I would love to explore😂😂😂😂

[@xinsanebeast]

I DIED AT THE PART WHEN CLACE AND SIZZY WERE MAKING OUT AND ALEC IS ALL LIKE "CAN YOU FUCKING CALM DOWN?!" :'DDD

RAPHAEL WAS ONE OF MY FAVOURITES! Ready the Bane Chronicles really helped me appreciate him more and made me discover his humorous side and omg I love him

[@stellash9012]

Yeah same. I'm not sure if he's one of my favourites but reading his novella in the Bane Chronicles made me appreciate his character more.

[@milenapierotic2585]

Kate Vallis I was sooo sad!!! I loved his character

[@patricelinman7183]

This isn't in the book but it's a scene I made up in my head *Jace and Alec are packing for the demon realm* Jace: Alright Alec we need to be sure we're extra prepared for the demon realm so first we need some extra weapons Alec: Extra weapons, got it Jace: Extra gear Alec: Extra gear, check Jace: Extra food Alec: Extra food, none cooked by Izzy Jace: Extra condoms Alec: Extra con- why do you need condoms? Jace: You know, in case Clary and I want to get it on Alec: In the demon realm? Jace: You can't say it wouldn't be exotic Alec: You literally have heavenly fire coursing through your veins and if you even touch Clary you could burn her Jace: That's just a minor set back Alec: F'ing straight people And that's my favorite scene

[@anindobagchi3408]

Wow you've got a real good imagination 😂😂😂

[@meteoric_lens6102]

Wow

[@sineads.9920]

I love that scene where simon walk up to jace after he lost his memory and is just like hey, "did i bite you?"

[@audreyowens7915]

the part that broke my heart was when Jonathan was good and then died #stillnotoverit

[@stephpiano2908]

That reenactment of Magnus giving Alec the Bane Chronicles made me die with laughter!

[@tkfan123]

me too

[@haleybrown474]

I cheered when Sebastian died and I am not ashamed to admit that I did cry when Johnathan die. Did anyone else I feel really alone with that?

[@SaturdayParker]

I really wanted Jonathan to live, no matter cheesy or disney style it felt.

[@kVa5ir]

If the real Jonathan would there instead of Sebastian he would be my favourite character

[@sydneystylites2576]

[@Ana-ek8ft]

When Jesse was like "clary like seriously, no one is gonna start saying DTR" , it totally reminded me of Regina telling Gretchen that 'fetch' is not going to happen 😂

[@BenjiCarter]

Alec: "I did not make a pie for three reasons. One, because I do not have any pie ingredients. Two, because I don't actually know how to make a pie." Jace: "And three?" Alec: "Because I am not your bitch" By far, the best part in the whole book xD

Sizzy is EVERYTHING!! You must, must, must read Tales from Shadowhunter Academy before you read Lady Midnight! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on both!

Do you recommend reading the Bane Chronicles before Lady Midnight too?

+Nicole Herondale no you don't really have to...The Bane Chronicles are alright but it's not necessary to read them.

[@nyx190]

+Erika Gallant alright, thanks!

[@nataliefairchild997]

Your sass about the TV show... 😂😂😂 I feel the exact same way!

[@DrunkKilljoyDragon]

Simon giving up his memories and immortality for Magnus broke me up so much. I swear I didn't stop crying until the end of the book! I was also really sad when Jordan died because I was really starting to like his character. There was the attack on the werewolves and I thought for a minute that everyone was okay, then Cassandra Clare just hits us all with, oh by the way Jordan is dead. I think that was the first and definitely not the last time I cried in this book!

[@khaulaidrees9083]

I loved it when Simon drank Alec's blood cause Cassandra Clare had just made the scene sooo funny

[@livdanielle]

I TOTALLY THOUGHT MAIA WAS PREGNANT TOO OMG. Also this was really cool and convenient because I'm re-reading this right now before reading Lady Midnight! Have you started Lady Midnight yet? THIS FINALE WAS SO GREAT UGH IT GAVE ME SO MANY FEELS AND SO GREAT AND UGH SEBASTIAN AND SIMON AND EVERYTHING

Sebastian's death effected me more than it should have tbh

[@jaelleouapou4578]

Alec's pie scene in the other dimension was by far my favorite part XD

[@saarenakaul7854]

My favorite parts were probably Jem stealing Church and ‘Hail Master’ (it was badass). The part that broke me was actually when Sebastian became Jonathan ‘his eyes where green’. I loved pretty much every scene with Jem in it.

[@danielagarcia7652]

Everybody thinks Maia was pregnant is either that or that Sebastian got the Seelie Queen pregnant. I guess the fandom really wants a pregnancy storyline 😂

[@anushkachawhan]

My favourite part was when Simon yelled " Isabelle! Let down your raven hair! " And Clary silently cursing Raphael next to Simon.

[@danielareyes199]

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING BETWEEN THAT ALEC AND MAGNUS SCENE AT THE END OMG JESSE 😂😂😂😂

[@cecin7042]

Hi Jesse. My favorite scene it was when show tessa and jem. And the part that broke my heart was simon and his memorys it was so sad. Love your video.

[@simmonsivyrose]

The scene that broke me was the whole scene with Asmodeous. Magnus is a character for me that seems to lure me in and capture my attention. He's always so strong. So to see Asmodeous mock him about his mother, his past, the fact that he has friends, that just killed me, okay? 😭😭

[@madisonsmall7709]

[@CooleenBooks]

My favourite moments in this book was whenever characters from TID were mentioned 😊 I loved the World Inverted chapter 😊 I listened to the the audiobook so I personally found it enjoyable and didn't really notice the slowness of the book (hence why I decided to use the audiobook) but I expected more epic fight scenes and actions :/

[@jackiejnj]

[@animes2332]

"I did not make a pie," Alec repeated, gesturing expressively with one hand, "for three reasons. One, because I do not have any pie ingredients. Two, because I don´t actually know how to make a pie". He paused, clearly waiting. Removing his sword and leaning it against the cave wall, Jace said warily "And three?" "Because I am not your bitch," Alec said, clearly pleased with himself. I read those books about ten years ago, but it was surprisingly easy to find this scene - it was one of my favorite of this book. Well I guess, I love every scene like this one, where Alec shows how annoyed he is. He being annoyed makes him extremely sarcastic. And this side of Alec is one of the funniest;)

[@helloworl5762]

I finished this series in 3 months ,I'm not joking. Whenever I broke down I just kept reminding myself that 'Will would want me to keep reading'. It was absolutely amazing and I'm so glad you finished it.When the sex scene happened I was like 'wtf would you bring condoms?!?!?' ,Then again , there were a lot of ' WTF' moments throughout the book.

[@EllaIngram]

I noticed a trend in the Mortal Instruments books - everyone's dad is either dead or not a good dad. Example: Simon's dad is dead. Clary's dad was a shitty father. Jace's dads were either dead (Stephen Herondale) or a terrible father (and also dead) (Valentine Morgenstern). Alec and Isabelle's father is a bad dad who doesn't accept Alec being gay and also cheated on their mother. Magnus's father is evil. The only good father figure we have is Luke XD

[@palmtree1958]

uh... generally most shadowhunters didn't accept homosexuality lmao

[@EllaIngram]

Tamar Mack so? that doesn't make it OK.

[@palmtree1958]

Ella Lightwøød-Høwlter I know that, but my point is that Robert is as much of a dick about that as the other shadowhunters are. I mean he gets to express those views more in the series because he's Alec's father, but most of the older shadowhunters have a mutual following of the old ways and therefore don't accept it. All I'm saying is that yeah, homophobes are dicks, but Robert's opinion on that was no different to most other older shadowhunters.

[@RF-mc8cx]

Luke has so many children, none biological 😂

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

I will never be okay after Raphael's death.

I finished this book a week ago and i know the feeling! It was so sad to let go of these characters cause they all grew on me very easily, such a bittersweet book. Over all it was a fantastic wrap up to this series and i can't wait to get my hands on Lady Midnight! Have a great day, love your videos Jesse! :D

[@annafest2199]

[@annafest2199]

The Name

[@isabellestimson567]

When that thing that happened to Simon happened I was sitting and reading in my family room with my brother and mum watching TV. Slowly dying and trying to hide my other brother walks into the room drinking from my drink bottle. No I have this pet hate of people drinking from my drink bottle. No idea why just do. And so I start having a go at him for drinking from my bottle and tears just start rolling from my eyes. The worse moment of my reading history. :(

[@StitchInTime]

I love his book sooo much!!!My favorite moments were when Clary walked through the fire to get to Jace and the cave scene.Most hear breaking would be Simon losing his memories and Luke seeing his sister as a member of the Dark army and Julian having to kill his Dad.

"DTR" Was used all the time when I was in University. There was a DTR bench outside the boys freshmen/sophomore dorm that if you were on that side of the building you could ether watch people break up or get engaged.

[@zainabchoonara4828]

The LA Institute really is a beautiful work of imagery !!

[@AlphaMykee]

Actually my favorite scene (basicly the one that broke me) is one that a lot of people just read and played no attention. It was when one battle was ending and they were burning all the shadowhunters who didn‘t deserved to be in the City of Bones and Brother Zackariah asked where was the body of the man who killed his parabatai and then he said “It is the worst thing I can imagine ever having to do. I would not have been brave enough. Since there is someone who was, I wish to pay my respects to him”... Like I CAN’T imagine how that would be like, knowing that your parabatai became a dark shadowhunter and kill him/her... I wish to pay my respect to him as well.

[@itzjuliacx5125]

what annoyed me was they never actually mentioned brother zachariahs REAL NAME ( if you have read the infernal devices , then you understand what i mean lmao. ) but YES GIRL. the convrrsation between tessa and clary was fantastic in my opinion because you have past and future are intertwined for a few moments right there. 😭😭💘💘
