I finished late last night (or late for me, an...OK. I finished late last night (or late for me, anyway), so I have to re-read the epilogue to really get my thoughts straight. But after reading your comments:<br /><br />I loved loved loved the book. It was such a great ending. I still felt bad about Max, though, and I wanted to see part of Jace and Clary as a couple and who Simon ends up with, etc. I love Magnus and Alec! And Luke and Jocelyn.<br /><br />I also thought Clary had a star-shaped scar, Alison. Is that b/c they both have the angel blood?<br /><br />I want to see Simon with his sexy marks. I am glad Jace is Jace Lightwood now (since Maryse gave him the name Jace) but I would have been OK with Jace Herondale, too. Ummm...I wondered about Raphael, too. And maybe the Seelie Queen was just brought in at the end to illustrate Clary's contentedness and strength to resist the temptation? And I do think that was Tessa at the end. And Magnus must time-travel. That thing you posted, Ginger, said something about machines, so I'm thinking there's a time machine.<br /><br />I guess I don't have anything really original to bring up. I probably laughed the hardest when the scene broke after Jocelyn clearned things up and Simon was like, "So, even though you and Jace aren't related, you've still kissed your brother?"<br /><br />And I loved when Magnus wanted Alec to wear the sparkly headband and they referenced Xanadu. lol!<br /><br />I really need to go back and re-read the whole series. I lent my CoB and CoA to my sister (since she's on vacation she wanted to re-read them...and btw - she's engaged!!!) but I have another copy of CoA at school that I've been re-reading since I refused to bring CoG in there (I'd ignore the students, and they'd bug me to borrow it, etc). But I want to read it start to finish - there's so much I know I missed.<br /><br />LOVED it.

I think we are going to find that the book of white has a big part of the new series in some way. That's why Magnus wants it so .

I kept getting interrupted at the most crucial parts too. I must say, the very end when Clary is at the party with all her "friends" was my favorite part! I just loved the conversation back & forth between everyone.. from the talk about a man doesn't drink anything pink, to wearing a glittery head band! All of it was awesome, and made me smile :)<BR/><BR/>Questions......<BR/>-what was the deal with Raphael at the end? giving Clary that look?<BR/>-why did CC throw in the bit with the Sealie Queen? what was the importance of that?<BR/><BR/>ok I probably have more questions, but I can't think of them right now!
