Today's discussion is about: Chapter 13: Girl Found Dead
- I don't know why, but Alec's surprise over Magnus and Camille's past makes me snicker. I can totally picture the look on his face and hear the surprise in his voice when acknowledges Magnus dated not just a vampire, but at "girl" vampire. Over all, were you surprised with Alec's reaction to Camille and Magnus or were you excepting him to to be more dramatic about it?
- We finally get our answers as to what's been going on with Jace and we also get to see him with his guard down as he tells Clary about his dreams, why he had the knife, his fear of him killing Clary and his thinking that he deserves this. I found it interesting how he phrased his thinking that Jace Lightwood deserves what's going on and Jace Morgenstern doesn't. Clary makes an interesting point. She said she thinks someone is doing this to him. Jace mentioned it could possibly be Sebastian, Clary thinks he's dead. Who do you think could be controlling Jace in his dreams?
- We learn more about the Shadow Hunter rituals from Jace & Clary's visit to the Silent Brothers, seeking their help for Jace. We also learn that Clary upset the balance of life and death, good and evil (at the end of COG). In bringing Jace back from the dead, he came back unprotected from all the previous Shadow Hunter rituals given to him as protection. Do you think the Silent Brothers will be able to protect Jace and stop whomever is possessing him?
- Camille confesses to Magnus that she killed the Circle Members, but someone more powerful than her had her do it, though she doesn't regret it. Do you think the same person behind this could be the same person controlling Jace?
Please DO NOT POST SPOILERS. There's some fans who are joining the read-a-long who are reading COFA for the first time.
