I have come to understand something about novels,” Tessa said.”And what is that?””They are not true.

I’ve known parabatai so close they were almost the same person; do you know what happens, when one of them dies, to the one that’s left —?

Where’s Magnus?” he said. AS he looked toward the kitchen, Clary saw a bruise on his jaw, below his ear, about the size of a thumbprint. “Alec!” Magnus came skidding into the living room and...

[Magnus] reminded himself of his manners, and bowed. “Charmed,” he said. “Or whatever effect would please you best, I’m sure.

Me siento responsable por ese muchacho. Si él nunca encuentra la felicidad, sentiré que le he fallado. Si no puede tener a la chica que ama, sentiré que le he fallado. Si no puedo conservar...

Which, incidentally, is what your sister said to me when─”The carriage door flew open. A hand shot out, grabbed Will by the back of his shirt, and hauled him inside.

When he saw her, he wanted to be with her; when he was with her, he ached to touch her; when he touched even her hand, he wanted to embrace her.

I think there is hope for you yet, Will Herondale.I will try to learn how to have it, without you to show me. Tessa, Jem said. She knows despair, and hope as well. you can...

You guessed? You must have been pretty sure, considering you could have killed me.””I was ninety percent sure.””I see,” Clary said. There must have been something in her voice, because he turned to look at...

If we’re going to the Silent City, you might want to get dressed. I mean, I appreciate the bra-and-panties look, but I don’t know if the Silent Brothers will. There are only a few of...
