City of Fallen Angels Read A Long Day 14: What Dreams May Come



Welcome to Day 14 of the City of Fallen Angels Read-A-Long. You can follow the entire read-a-long and find each of the day's posts here. Remember there's no right or wrong way to participate.

Today's discussion is about: Chapter 14: What Dreams May Come
  • Jace's dream of Max starts out a little heart breaking knowing how much his death still bothers Jace. I can't believe someone used Max to get to Jace. I don't know why, but I should have caught on the first time I read this who would be so cruel/evil to do that. Did you pick up on who bonded themselves to Jace when you first read COFA?
  • I feel so bad for Simon over finding out about Maureen's death. Do you think she's really dead and who do you think would want Maureen? Do you think that someone besides Jordan saw Simon bite her? 
  • With this read through I picked up on what Kaelie had pointed out about the Herondale and the Morgenstern rings, when she asked Clary why she wore the Morgenstern ring. It's interesting that she pointed out that the Herondale ring better suits Jace as it has patterns of herons on it vs the morning stars. That the Herondale ring suits him better, as he has a soul like a bird in flight vs a falling one like Lucifer (pg. 286). Given all that's happened so far with Jace, why do you think this was an important scene to include in COFA? Why would Kaelie tell that to Clary? 

    Please DO NOT POST SPOILERS. There's some fans who are joining the read-a-long who are reading COFA for the first time.
