Today's discussion is about: Chapter 7: PRAETOR LUPUS
These chapters keep getting better and better. There's a few surprising things that happening in this chapter. We learn the truth about Kyle, we learn a bit more about Simon's power, we're just as surprised as Simon is to read about Jace & Kyle playing video games and Simon confronts Jace about his treated the Clary the way he is.
- The surprises keep coming, and this chapter starts off with us finding out Kyle's a werewolf. I was totally surprised about what he was, though not surprised to find out he was something (if that makes sense). Now that we know what Kyle is, and what he's done/does, do you think he'll come a trusted friend, or do you think there's more to his nice guy persona?
- The whole Jace and Simon hanging out together and talking is both awkward and hilarious. I love their scenes together, because they let the snark fly, but at the same time we also get glimpses of them being real with each other. Meaning their guards aren't always up. What do you make of the Jace/Simon friendship?
- Luke tells Simon what he's been told a few times in COFA, that he's powerful and he can't forget what he is. His power draws those who desire it, naming Camille. Do you think that if Simon fully accepted what he is, he'd be able to understand his power more?
- We know there's something going on with Jace, and it's bugging me that this point I feel like I should know what it is, but I can't quite put my finger on it. I like that Simon finally confronts him about Clary, and we're reassured that Jace does in fact still love her. So why would he treat her the way he does right now? What could he possibly mean when he says "Love is a contradiction?"
Please DO NOT POST SPOILERS. There's some fans who are joining the read-a-long who are reading COFA for the first time.
