Fangirling & Waiting on Wednesday: City of Heavenly Fire - Cassandra Clare

Hi guys! Today's a Wednesday which means....It's time to do my very first Waiting on Wednesday! Except in this post I'm going to be screaming for CoHF instead of Waiting which is why I've altered the title slightly. Waiting on Wednesday is a book meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine where you state all the releases that you are anticipating. So why am I doing a WoW now? I just cannot contain my excitement for CoHF (the last book of TMI) to be released in 5 days and I fear that I might explode if I just don't pour out my fandomness in a post. 5 DAYS!! Though I could have easily just done a random fangirling post on CoHF but I thought it'd be nice to try this meme out for the first time :) Anyways, here we go! And do tell me what you think :D

Title: City of Heavenly Fire 

Author: Cassandra Clare

Publisher: Margret K. McElderly

Publication Date: May 27, 2014

Genre(s): Fantasy, Romance, Paranormal, YA

In the long-awaited conclusion to the acclaimed Mortal Instruments series, Clary and her friends fight the greatest evil they have ever faced: Clary's own brother.
Sebastian Morgenstern is on the move, systematically turning Shadowhunter against Shadowhunter. Bearing the Dark Cup, he transforms Shadowhunters into creatures out of nightmare, tearing apart families and lovers as the ranks of his endarkened army swell.
The embattled Shadowhunters withdraw to Idris—but not even the famed demon towers of Alicante can keep Sebastian at bay. And with the Nephilim trapped in Idris, who will guard the world against demons?
When one of the greatest betrayals the Nephilim have ever known is revealed, Clary, Jace, Isabelle, Simon, and Alec must flee — even if their journey takes them deep into the demon realms, where no Shadowhunter has set foot before, and from which no human being has ever returned . . .
Love will be sacrificed and lives lost in the terrible battle for the fate of the world in the thrilling final installment of the classic urban fantasy series The Mortal Instruments!

Okay, I can't do this anymore. Please excuse me for the moment while I scream for TMI again. 

I've recently fell in love with this series and only a few days ago, I finished City of Lost Souls. I was amazed at how much it made me not want but NEED CoHF! CoLS is probably my favourite book in the series so far. There's so much action in it, compared to the rest of the series! Random fact: Did you know that CoHF is 762 pages?!? 

I keep on forgetting that this is a WoW, not a review, so just bear with me :) and do forgive me if I leak any spoilers which I will try my best not to. Anyways, I love CoLS. I even started to feel sympathetic for the 'bad guy', Sebastian/Jonathan, and I've made up my mind. 

I don't want him to die.

Anyone else feel this way? It's so weird, I actually like Sebastian a TINY bit more than Jace...

I won't tell you the whole story WHY now but I will in my review that I solemnly swear will come either Saturday or Sunday :D and I'm pretty sure the entire review will be about why I love Sebastian. Now before you post comments like "HOW THE SHIAT IS THAT POSSIBLE?" all I have to say is, its surprising for me as well ;) and

I've actually started to read TMI fanfictions :D I never really have been a fan of fanfictions because some of them suck bs, but I just needed to have my hands on something TMI related. And I've also been going through some CoHF snippets and I thought I'd share some interesting snippets: 

“Oh, good. For a second there I was worried there was going to be an actual plan with, like, steps we couldfollow.You know, something reassuring.”
— Isabelle

“Okayyyyy,” Isabelle said in a low voice, “When did Brother Zachariah get hot?”

A parabatai. Like he was. And Jace knew, too, what that faded rune meant: a parabatai whose other half was dead. He felt his sympathy leap toward Brother Zachariah, as he imagined himself without Alec, with only that faded rune to remind him where once he had been bonded to someone who knew all the best and worst parts of his soul.

Simon's Sacrifice

“No killing,” Jordan said. “We’re trying to make you feel peaceful, so you don’t go up in flames. Blood, killing, war, those are all non-peaceful things. Isn’t there anything else you like? Rainforests? Chirping birds?”
“Weapons,” said Jace. “I like weapons.”
“I’m starting to think we have a problematic issue of personal philosophy here.”
Jace leaned forward, his palms flat on the ground. “I’m a warrior,” he said. “I was brought up as a warrior. I didn’t have toys, I had weapons. I slept with a wooden sword until I was five. My first books were medieval demonologies with illuminated pages. The first songs I learned were chants to banish demons. I know what brings me peace, and it isn’t sandy beaches or chirping birds in rainforests. I want a weapon in my hand and a strategy to win.”
Jordan looked at him levelly. “So you’re saying that what brings you peace … is war.”
“Now you get it.”

“We shouldn’t,” protested Isabelle. “The Clave has a plan.”
“The Clave has the collective intelligence of a pineapple,” said Jace.
Alec blinked up at them. “Jace is right.”
Isabelle turned on her brother. “What do you know? You weren’t even paying attention.”
“I was,” Alec said, injured. “I said Jace was right.”
“Yeah, but there’s like a 90% chance of me being right most of the time, so that’s not proof you were listening,” said Jace. “That’s just a good guess.”

MY FAVE (partially because of feels towards Sebastian) : 

His eyes shone when he looked at her, green as spring grass.
He has always had green eyes, said the voice in her head. People often marvel at how much alike you are, he and your mother and yourself. His name is Jonathan and he is your brother; he has always protected you.
Somewhere in the back of Clary’s mind she saw black eyes and whip marks, but she didn’t know why. He’s your brother. He’s your brother, and he’s always taken care of you.

And now. PICTURE SPOILERS! *just click on image to enlarge*

Anyways if you already haven't heard, Cassie said that 5 people that we know of are going to die + 1 main character in CoHF. I was thinking about if I had to choose 6 people to die in TMI, who would it be. I came up with a list (I don't mean any offence to those characters, it's just that if I HAD TO CHOOSE, these are the people I'd rather die than the others) .

1. Maryse
2. Raphael
3. Camille
4. Maia
5. Jordan

As for the main character who will die, we all know that Cassie can't kill Clary because the main character almost never dies. Or Jace (or else we'd all go rage and try to kill her, lol) which leaves us with Izzy, Alec, Magus or Simon. I don't even want to guess. JUST ANYONE BUT SIMON! He's the kind of friend we all want, and plus, I really stared to love him in CoLS.

I've already pre-ordered two copies of CoHF and I might even be giving one away ;) I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THE ENTIRE SERIES IS GOING TO END IN JUST 5 DAYS FROM NOW! AGH, I don't know what to think. Half of my brain is like: CoHF Y U NO COME FASTER, and then the other half is afraid to read it in fear of either Magnus, Izzy, Alec or Simon dying and the entire series will be over after CoHF! Lol I've said that already, but whatever. I'm probably going to spend the entire day and night reading CoHF then the next morning bawling my eyes out. AHHH Where will all the TMI fandom go? Someone needs to set up a support group for the TMI fandom...

*cries in a corner* Alright. I'm back now.

So, my question to readers of TMI. What do you think about CoHF, and who do you think will die?

I'd love to hear what you think about this post! :)
