I was having a hard time sleeping, so I read until I got tired enough for bed. Not sure if I will get back into this today, but if not, at least my 30 minutes for the day has been completed.

Magnus Bane has been mentioned. I think Simon is about to become a vampire or might have already been bitten. So, Clary had a dream where Simon was there, but then Jace replaced him and said it was a place for the living. Does she have prophetic dreams? See, this is something new. I don’t think I picked up on that before. I can’t remember if Shadowhunters can have special abilities or not, but if they can, maybe hers is a premonition or something. 

I know Magnus Bane is hugely popular in the TV series, so I wonder how much I will like him in the books. I remember him, but not very well. Seemed super cocky and all that jazz. 

The book moves at a decent pace, and I can see why it would be interesting. Knowing what I know now, the painted tarot cards by her mother are a big clue about where The Mortal Cup is. I can’t remember if she hid it in a larger painting or in the tarot cards, I just remember that Jocelyn hid them in a painting.

I know that Luke is still a good guy, but I can see hints are being put in place to try to make him out as untrustworthy. He might have still been selfish though. I can’t remember if he was looking out for Clary after the attack, or just trying to keep himself alive. I think he was trying to figure out a way to help Jocelyn, but I can’t remember.
