Today's discussion is about: Chapter 16: New York City Angels
Now everything makes sense. We meet Lilith, the one who's responsible for all the chaos that's been going. We not only get to know a little more about her, but we learn she's the one behind the baby deaths at the church, sent those guys after Simon, was the one who quite possibly had Maureen turned (put her in the cage so she did turn into a vampire) and she has Sebastian/Jonathan's body. We also learn that Sebastian/Jonathan is indeed dead, but not for much longer AND Lilith is most likely the person who's been controlling Jace.
- Were you guys shocked that it's Lilith and not Sebastian who's been behind everything that's been going on lately? It was obvious that someone was behind all this, but I had no idea it was Lilith.
- The fact that Lilith wants to create a new race of Shadowhunters is a bit alarming. I can see why she'd want Sebastian/Jonathan to lead her new race, but why do you think she wants Jace and Clary, and what could their role be in Lilith's plans for her new race?
- What do you think Lilith meant when she comments to Simon that Clary never told him...."An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life. To prevent chaos there must be order. If a life is given to the Light, a life is owed to the Dark as well." (pg 332)?
Please DO NOT POST SPOILERS. There's some fans who are joining the read-a-long who are reading COFA for the first time.
