City of Fallen Angels Read A Long Day 15: BEATI BELLICOSI



Welcome to Day 15 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. Your comments can be as long or a short as you'd like them to be. You can answer one or each of the questions asked, it's totally up to you, BUT, in order to be entered into the COLS giveaway (which you also had to sign up to win), you do need to be actively participating in the read-a-long. 

Today's discussion is about: Chapter 15: BEATI BELLICOSI
  • I love how Cassie is able to insert bits of humor and sarcasm in between her more intense scenes. In this particular chapter I can't help but laugh out loud over Alec and Magnus's bantering. I mean I understand Alec's hurt, but the back and forth comments between the two are a little amusing. Do you find the humor in COFA eases a bit of the tension that's evident in each chapter? What do you think Alec has a right to treat Magnus the way he is? 
  • I really fell in love with Simon's character in COFA. I felt like he finally grew into the character I had hoped he'd become. Are you surprised at how supportive he is of the different characters in COFA? How have your thoughts / feelings towards Simon changed in COFA?
  • The end of this chapter is full of surprises. Jace drew some sort of rune on Clary that ending up knocking her out, Camille escaped from the Institute, and Maureen is back from the dead and has become a vampire. What the heck is going on and do you think these events are all tied together?

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