The Lost Book of the White by Cassandra ClareMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
View all my reviews
* I just finished reading the prologue and I thought that it was funny because I was rewatching Season 1 Episode 12 of Shadowhunters and I watched the scene that I read here today. The scene where Clary visits Ragnor Fell to find an antidote to wake up her mother.
I thought that this was a fun, light read. I thought it was crazy that Lucifer is going to be involved in the next book!
I finished reading this book on Monday, September 26, 2022 at 8:15 p.m. My last reading session was 69 minutes.
I think I got this book from the Changing Hands bookstore in Phoenix with the gift card I got from the Summer reading program.
“Jace hopped up to sit on the window ledge, somehow managing not to spill any of his coffee. ‘I thought you were changing.’
‘I did change,’ Magnus said, puzzled.
‘You’re still wearing a robe,’ Jace said.
‘I was wearing a yukata,’ said Magnus. ‘Now I’m wearing a dressing gown.’
‘Well, they both look like robes,’ said Jace.
‘Let’s talk about last night,’ Magnus said. ‘What did Alec tell you?’
‘Can we see the glowing ssure in your chest?’ Simon asked.
‘Simon, it’s rude to bring up glowing ssures in other people’s chests,’ said Clary” (37).
LOL XD
“‘“Chun Jiang Hua Yue Ye,”’ he said to Alec. ‘“A Night of Blossoms on a Moonlit Spring River.” A song older than me’” (174).
“He was young-looking, white and slight of build, narrow of face, and he was dressed as though he were a student backpacker who was unaccountably making his way through Diyu: ragged plaid shirt, torn jeans.
…
He extended his hand. ‘Sammael,’ he said with a gentle smile. ‘Maker of the Way. Once and Future Devourer of Worlds’ (229).
I cannot believe this was Sammael. I was like what?! 😱 I was secretly thinking that it would be Jonathan, Clary’s brother, but sadly, he’s gone :’(
“Clary perked up, drawing her stele. “Let me see your arm,” she said. Alec held it out and she scrawled a shape he hadn’t seen before onto his arm, a circle with a number of radiating arms of different lengths curving in a spiral from its center. Clary counted under her breath as she drew it, then said, ‘There. Something I’ve been working on. Alarm rune. It’ll go off in seven hours.’
‘Or you could use your phone,’ said Jace.
Clary shrugged. ‘Runes are more reliable. Also cooler’” (285).
Lol what?! I thought that was so cool! XD
“Jace took her hand, drawing her close. His arms went around her. Clary laid her head against Jace’s shoulder, and he closed his eyes; Alec knew what he was feeling, for he felt it himself, whenever he was with Magnus. That inner wonder at the enormity of love, how the joy of it was so intense it was nearly tinged with pain. Jace rarely spoke of his feelings, but he didn’t need to: Alec could read them on his face. Jace had chosen Clary to love, just as Alec had chosen Magnus, and he would love her forever and with his whole heart” (286).
<3
“‘There aren’t going to be a lot of comfortable places here for shut-eye,’ said Magnus.
Tian said scornfully, “We’re Shadowhunters. We can manage to rest even in the depths of Hell’” (289).
Lol ;)
“‘Nina bobo, ni ni bobo,’ he was singing in his deep, beautiful voice, an Indonesian lullaby, much older than Magnus himself” (361).
