QUESTION 1: 10. What advice would you give to a particular character? Why?
RESPONSE 1: I would give Isabelle some advise. I would tell her to watch what she says to Clary, especially when it's about Jace. I would tell her that because she is always in their business and making things worse sometimes. Also because she doesn't fully understand the situations that they are going through. She may know what's going on, but she hasn't experienced it herself so she doesn't know how it feels. She doesn't need to put her 2 cents in on the things that concern them. It would be better if she focused on her own problems and life.

QUESTION 2: 18. What has surprised you in the book? Why?
RESPONSE 2: The thing that has surprised me so far, is that a real angel has appeared in the book named Ithuriel. Yes, he may have been; old, beaten, blind, and dirty, but his wings were pure and beautiful. It didn't surprise me that they found Ithuriel in the Valentine's cellar, he'd been a cruel man. It did surprise me that when Clary dispelled the runes that kept him captive that Ithuriel had plunged Jace's stele* into his heart. I knew that he was depressed, old, and away from heaven, but I didn't think that he would do that. I guess that was the only way Ithuriel could get back to where he belonged.

Flames burst from the wound, spreading outward from the blade. The angel's body shimmered into white flame, the chains on its wrist burning scarlet, like iron left too long in a fire. Clary thought of medieval paintings of saints consumed in the blaze of holy ecstasy- and the angel's wings flew wide and white before they, too, caught and blazed up, a lattice of shimmering fire.
