Cassandra Clare drives me insane. Like. Her books had me insane for years. Then I read Queen of Air and Darkness and. Honest to god that ending.
So. I don't remember most of the books story (let alone how it made up 3 books over 400 pages at the minimum) except that if you were legally recognised as best friends you couldn't fall in love. No one knows the cost of this. The cost turns out to be turning into giant flaming naked people.iirc. That's the ending. No destruction, no one is saved. It's just a thing. That happened.
AND LIKE. WHAT THE FUCK. It's so anticlimactic. I don't get it. I don't get where it came from. I don't get why this was so foreboding. BESIDES THD YKNOW.
Also. What's the trigger for this to happen. Because Alec loved Jace (his legally recognised best friend) but that ended fine. Was it because it wasn't required? Because Alec fell in love with Magnus at the end? IDK. but also in the upside down world, they acknowledge their in love and have sex. Which a) really bad priorities. They're in a world where the villain of the Mortal Instruments committed mass genocide and they're having sex. b) WAS IT JUST SEX STOPPING TBEM?
I'm certain there must be an explanation in the books. But I was so confused even when I was reading it. So either this was made up on the spot or I'm going insane.
Oh my God, I just found out, like today, that the entire Mortal Instruments series takes place over five months!! Five!! Months!! That's it. That is so much in such a short time.
At some point, I am going to have to sit down with those books and comb through them to lay out the time line.
Cause I feel like this is going to be a Pretty Little Liars situation where they acted like Caleb was in Ravenwood for at least a year, but because of the PLL time line, he only visited for like a weekend.
Oh, Jace and Clary are so in love....girl, you have known each other for like a day, sit down.
Also, Clary is a stupid name that I will never take seriously. My brain always autocorrects it to Celery.
