  Speaker 3: To have a movie, I mean this series, this one series,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: and I think the next books we're probably gonna do
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: aren't gonna have a movie. But yeah, next three books
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: that we're gonna do or I'm gonna really have them. Uh,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: don't have movies, but we've decided to. But of course
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: we've decided to open broaden our horizons because not every
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: book has a movie, and you know, there's only so
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: much we have to work with. And I haven't have
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: seen a lot of movies and that have been based
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: off of books, but I have not. You kind of
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: either not read them then that I almost had read
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: the movies, I have not read the books, or I've
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: read the books but not watched the movie. Oh my god,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: there's a bright ass cardinal right outside my window, like
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: we're talking. It's a male. So it's like all pretty
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: and like bright red. These cardinals like have been like
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I think they're building a nest in the tree outside
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: my house, and they'll literally fly up and kind of
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: like cling to the the land on the wire the
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: screen outside my outside my window, and they'll just chill
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: out there. Like the females do that a lot. But
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: this is the first time I've seen one of the males.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Oh it's gone anyway, that's my goldfish brain at work,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: get easily distracted. Oh yeah. So today we are going
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: to be completing the review of the The Mortal Instruments
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: by Cassandra clair Uh. This is the last book of
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: The Mortal Instruments. City of Heavenly fire. Uh, this is
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: gonna be the epic climactic fancy word meaning ending imax.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Oh oh, this is the tamed buckle again. Okay, I'm
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: just gonna here's my drink.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: You just really like sucking on things, don't you.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Wow. Listen here, man, listen here, b I know where
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you live. I'm seeing tomorrow.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Oh oh wow, Wow, I'm shaking in my boots. Anyway,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: this book is going to be the This this particular
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: book is going to be more emotional and more It's
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: gonna have higher stakes because the is Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: or as he prefers to call himself now Sebastian. He
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: is now working in full swing wanting to overthrow the
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: shadow Hunters and basically take over the world and unleashed
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: demon kind and everything onto the world he is now create.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: He's now in the process of creating the entire new
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: form of shadow Hunters shadow Hunter. The shadow Hunters themselves
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: call these dark shadow Hunters the Darkened, mainly because most
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: of them were former shadow Hunters that chose to that
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: either willingly drank from the infernal cup that that Sebastian
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: created to become and darkened, or in other cases, they
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: were forced to drink this, to drink the blood from
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: the from the Shadow Cup and and were turned against
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: was turned into the Darkened against their will. So this
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: book has a lot of very emotional and like very
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: emotional and just really heartbreaking scenarios. Because Jonathan begins attacking
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: uh institutes all across the world. He ends up leading
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: leading attacks against five different institutions across the world before
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: the Clave declares a state of emergency and retreat and
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: calls every shadow Hunter back to Idris for a lot down.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: So pretty much they abandoned their outpos to protect as
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: many of them Because every time Sebastian attacks an institute,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: he doesn't immediately kill all the shadow Hunters. He tries
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: to capture as many of the shadow Hunters as possible
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: and he forces them to drink from the cup from
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: the Dark Cup. And this book does introduce some characters
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: that will eventually have their own stories in one of
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: the later novels. So in the one of the in
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: the Los Angeles Institute, there was these kids, these younger
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: shadow Hunters. They witnessed their father get turned into and
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: it darkened, and that and that particular shadow Hunter nearly
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: kills his own children under Sebastian's control while under Spastian's control.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: So luckily for them, they managed to escape and make
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: it back to Idris. And now the has to Now
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: the Clave declares war against not only against not only
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: the Sebastian and the Shadow and the Darkened, but they
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: will they're also, without really knowing it, declaring war against
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: the Sealy Court. Because I need to like make a
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: correction of something I said in one of the earlier episodes,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: because I got confused, because there are two major battles
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: that happened in Idris. First one was the uh was
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: against Valentine, and I said that in that one that
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: the Sealy Court had fought with Valencine, and they did
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: attack and they did take part in that battle. It's
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: actually it wasn't It was actually not this one I had.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry I got confused. The Seely Court actually sends
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: their warriors against Idris in this book. So later on,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: the Sealy Queen sends her sends her warriors to fight
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: alongside the Darkens, and they fight against the and they
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: fight against the Clave. A they is that while the
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Shadow while the shadow Hunters are trying to are trying
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: to regroup, figure out what figure out their next move
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: against the Darken. They get word that the Darkin had
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: had launched an attack against the Adamant Citadel. The Adamant
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Citadel was introduced in the last book that is the
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: stronghold of the Iron Sisters, and just quick break out
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: the Iron Sisters or the female counterpart of the Silent Brothers.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Where the Silent Brothers are the like they're the healers
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: and the bureaucrats and the uh historians and cultural practitioners
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: basically like anything like pretty much like the clerical uh
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: faction of the shadow Hunters. The Iron Sisters are the industrial.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: They're the ones that are in They're the ones responsible
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: for build, for forging and building all shadow Hunter weapons
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: and armor, so everything the shadow Hunter needs, from the
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: stela to their gear to the swords that they wield,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: both Adamus weapons and just regular crude weapons. I say
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: crude weapons because these are because they can't use anything
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: more advanced than a bone arrow than swords in a
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: bow and arrow. So when they learned the attack, they
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: immediately send a They send a large group of shadow
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Hunters to repel the attack. About fifty shadow hunters sent
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: to fight off the and Darkened. The think about the
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: think about this this ensuing battle is that many shadow
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: hunters die because a lot of them come face to
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: face with some of their loved ones. So in some cases,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: their loved ones willingly turn to the dark, to the
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: dark side, and other cases they were forced into drinking
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: from the from the Dark Cup. And and because of this,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: some of them die because they try to reason what
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: their loved ones try to get them to, like, you know,
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: see the light come back to us, but they can't
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: because the effects of the of the Dark Cup are
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: permanent and all consuming. So these shadows the Darken are
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: completely just They're completely under the control of Sebastian, and
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: they are cold blooded killers, savages. And the way that
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: the in Darkened fight, they fight very savagely, so it's
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: very they're they're ruthless, they're fast, they're strong, They're incredibly strong,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: and for a normal shadow hunter, it's incredibly difficult to
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: beat to be in Darkened. Some are able to do it, uh,
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: are able to do it fairly easily, but others have
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: a hard time against them. Uh. It's only the fight
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: does come to an end when the Iron Sisters themselves
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: intervene in the battle. The reason why they decided to
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: take the thing is is that the reason why the
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Iron Sisters stepped in was because they sensed they had
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: sensed that Jace had holy fire, still had the holy
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: fire inside of him, and during the fight, the holy
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: fire ends up flaring up and lashing out, and the
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Iron Sisters have, being more familiar with the properties of
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: holy fire, they felt like they needed to step in
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: to come to Jas's aid, not only to like protect him,
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: but also to help keep him from it, from keeping
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: it from going out of control. The reason why the
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: fire ended up going out of control was because Jace
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: himself had come face to face with Sebastian. The two fought.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: The two fought very savagely. Again, what's the word not savagely?
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: It was a very fierce battle between the two of them.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: But unfortunately Chase is wounded by Sebastian. Sebastian is now
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: wielding H a Morgan Stern sword like a it's like
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: a like a family heirloom with the Morganstern household. His
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: father used to hold it and H. In the last book,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Clairie herself also got uh. She also got a hold
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: of her own Morgan Stern sword, but it's like a
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: short sword. I believe that sword was called heels for us. Yeah,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: he's I'm not sure how to pronounce this, but it's
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: healespros or sparos h e O s p h O
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: r O s. So when Sebastian wounded Jace, Uh, Sebastian
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: stabbed Jase with his sword, and this caused the whole
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: the Heavenly fire to Claire and Uh, and the fire
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: jumps from Jace goes up the sword and strikes at Sebastian,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: which severely hurts him like it actually hurts him worse
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: than any other and has in the past. And Uh.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: This forced the Sebastian to retreat, and that's when the
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Silent Sisters step in and Uh try and try to
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: get control of the fire. One of the Silent Brothers
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: had also joined the battle. He had also came. He
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: also had joined the battle to ward off the and
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: darkened Uh. This particular silent brother he's actually been making
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: a real He's been a reoccurring character throughout the series.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: He's called Brother Zachariah, and Zachariah being more knowledgeable on
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: heavenly Fire attempts to try to calm Jason, try to
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: calm Jase and use a healing room on him to like,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: not only heal his wound, but see if you can
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: get the heavenly fire to dissipate and to dissipate. And
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: when his stell as soon as his stella touches Jason's hand,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: the flames leap from jas and Strike's brothers Zachariah. The
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: thing is, it doesn't kill Zachariah. The fire. The flames
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: do engulf him, and do engulf him, but they don't
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: burn him necessarily. What they do is they end up
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: reverting him back to his original human shadow hunter, so
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: like he still has his he still has his rooms,
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: his permanent rooms etched on his body, but what the
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: flames did was revert him back to a pre Silent
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Brother state. So like we've already talked about how the
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Silent Brothers have these physical deformities as that are caused
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: as a result of the very powerful rooms that they
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: take on. And for some reason, the flame reverts him
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: back to normal, like reverses the alterations to his body.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: His lips are no longer stitched together, and his eye
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: sockets are no longer empty. He looks like a regular
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: young man, like okay, So so they learn, they get more.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: They start learning more and more of how heavenly fire
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: works because heavenly fire will not burn somebody who is well,
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: It will not harm somebody who is good, right, good
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: or sure. Really, all it does is it burns anything
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: that is evil or corrupting. So it's something that more
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: or less affects your like you like, it'll burn things
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: that are like moral or like somebody who's like definitely evil,
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: or if you were a half demon, which is why
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: it hurts Sebastian so much. Going back a bit, in
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: the wake of the battle, Sebastian decides to change things
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: up a bit. He basically sends a warning to the Clave,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: letting him know that he's coming for them, that he's
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: coming for them, and he begins to change tactics by
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: isolating the shadow Hunters from the rest of the down world.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: He does this by tricking the downworld representatives because in
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: the wake of the of the Rebellion Valentine's rebellion, the
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Clave had formed a council with the downworlders. That way,
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: they would get equal representation and promote better unity and
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: cooperation between the shadow Hunters and the Downworlders. Now, uh
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: so the Downworlders all, like all four major factions of
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: the Downworlders had a representative. There was Meliorn from the Fay,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Loop from the Loop from the Werewolves, Magnus from the Warlocks,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: and Raphael from the Vampires. The thing is is that
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: because the Ceily Court is working with Sebastian, Melliorn, who
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: the Fay representative, tricks the other representatives and drugs them
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: and hands them over to being darkened. Unfortunately, since Luke
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: and Joscelyn go hand in hand, Jocelyn unfortunately he's also kidnapped.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: And the thing is that when the shadow Hunters tried
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: to assemble uh their cancer their council meeting and called
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: the Downworlders for help, they realized the representatives are missing,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: and in the floor of the cave of the Clay
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Paul they find blood. They find a message from Sebastian
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: written in angel blood uh stating I have come like okay,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: shut up, swear to God, Devin, you have a dirty
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: your mind that I hear.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I'd said nothing.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: You didn't have to you didn't have to look at
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: the people look at that look at that face.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I know it's cute. I know, you know it's durable.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, I know.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know you're talking about.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know you're talking about anyway. The thing is
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: that uh, one of the and dark And appears in
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: the Clave, a former shadow hunter named Anthias. He informs
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: the shadow Hunters that if they don't surrender Jason Clary
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: to Sebastians within within two days, the Downloiler representatives will
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: be executed.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Oh dear.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: And the anyway, So our core group of shadow Hunters,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: so Jace Clary Simon, he's not a shadow Hunter, but
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: he's still a vampire, but he's still part of the
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: main group. The Lightwood siblings Isabelle and Alec. They realized
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: that they need to go. They need to take down
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Sebastian directly. If they can take them down, the dark
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: and will all go down. Since Sebastian wants Clary and
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Jay specifically, better to remove them from the playing field
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: temporarily and goes straight for Sebastian then have them hide
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: in the check and the Clad and endanger them and
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: endanger them further. So they figure out that that's about
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: the reason why Sebastian is so hard to find is
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: because he's not hiding in our world. Specifically, every he
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: tacks and then he retreats to another dimension, and they
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: figure out that the particular dimension that he's hiding in
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: is a demon dimension called Eden, not Eden like the
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Garden of Eden, but eat them d yep, eat them
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: so and they are. And that's also where they realize
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: that the Downroler hostages are being held as well. So
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: they managed to get they managed to find the entrance
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: to uh they They managed to find the entrance to
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: eat them, and as it turns out, the entrance is
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: through the through the Fame world, so they actually have
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: to go into the world of the Fay and they
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: find the pathway that leads them directly into eat them.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: So uh yeah, I gotta I gotta figure out how.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: But they managed to convince the Sealy Queen to let
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: the men to eat them. The pathway to eat them better,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: they just found it themselves. Eat Them is one of
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: many worlds blah blah blah, Marred di mensioned in the
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: world know should play slightly manners. Also, the Realm of
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Asmodius and Little Ethnom considered a demon realm of Hell
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: according to some terms filmed by like Light would eat
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: them and how the capital city a demon city known
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: as Dooma. They find they find that the best the
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: best way to get into eat them is through the Fay.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: They learned that the world of fair there is a
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: direct uh, there is a gateway that will lead them
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: directly into eat them, So they answer eat them, and
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: they uh. They begin tracking Sebastian down they know they
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: determined that he is definitely there and he is hiding
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: an atom's version of alcant So. As turns out, Eatam
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: was once a mirror dimension, like an alternate reality of
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: their world. So it did at one point have shadow
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: hunters and that people, but it was eventually overrun and
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: claimed by the demon as Modius. So now it's considered
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: one of the worlds of Hell. And they as they're
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: traveling through Eaedom, they do discover like ruins, and they
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: discover a mosaic and like, uh, what did they call them?
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: They're like, it's not really a mosaic, because aren't mosaics
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: Like uh, it's like they're like pictures made out of tiles,
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: like little tiles. That's a mosaic, right, Yeah, really, I
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: think they're called reliefs because it's like it's like paintings,
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: but they're painted directly onto the wall, not on like
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: a canvas or anything. Uh well, you know, like Michael
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel, what would you call those paintings,
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: like just paintings because there's a specific word for it. Anyway,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: it's not important, I know what you're talking about. They
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: find so as they're traveling and getting closer to Adam's
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: version of the Guard, which is where Sebastian is hiding
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: and he has the downworld or hostages, they come across
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: like they come across some ruins and it kind of
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: feels like to them, it feels like a bit of
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: like a safe space because they discovered there's like a
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: clean pool of water in there, and unlike the rest
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: of this reality, this this pool of water is completely
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: untouched and it's clean, almost like it's protected, it's being
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: protected by something. But it's in this in these ruins
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: that they find these reliefs detailing a similar history to
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: their world. So like, just like in their world, demons
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: were invading the world and to counter this, the angel
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: rezeal created the shadow Hunters. But the thing is, the
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: shadow Hunters of this world were not as innovative as
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: the shadow Hunters of their world because instead of using
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: and crafting the the angelic substance Atamus into more effective weapons,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: they mainly used it to create these sort of staves
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: kind of like a wizard staff, and they basically used
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: their power, their angelic power and more mage like sense,
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: so like they wouldn't they would have fixed Atamus to
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: like a staff, and it was enchanted to create like
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: like bursts of energy that would burn demons. While that
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: stuff like that is powerful, it's not very effective because
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: it's like a one and done kind of weapon. Yeah.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: So anyway, well so anyway, while they're in this world,
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: while they're in Edom, they are attacked by demons several times,
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: and each time they kill the demons, they noticed that
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: the demons carcasses don't disappear, And this proves a long
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: accepted theory that when you kill a demon in our world,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: you're not actually killing them, you're just simply banishing them
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: back to the to their home dimension. So since they
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: are in their home dimension, killing them here, Kerma kills them.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: So now like first time, Jason is the one who
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: kills the demon. Is the just wanted to kill one
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: of the demons. He's like, huh, I guess I'm the
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: first men in history to kill an actual demon. It's like, okay, damn.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Throughout during their travel, they do encounter a form of
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: demon called an edalon or an idolon. Idolons are like
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: shape shifting demons, and they tend to trick humans and
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: play on their fears by shape shifting into like people
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: they know or people they fear. And the thing is
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: is that one of the one such demon shape shifts
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: itself into the form of a woman named Magdalena. Magdalena
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: was an Iron sister that he and Sebastian had had
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: contacted to create the Shadow Cup. She was a rogue
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Iron sister. The thing is, though Sebastian ordered Jase to
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: go and kill her, well, this was all while jas
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: was under control. And the thing is Jace he remembers it,
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: and he feels a lot of guilt for the stuff
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: that Sebastian made him do. And they and I think
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: it's this kind of like this kind of unsettled, unsettled Jase,
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: and Jase ends up killing the demon, but it caused
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: him to freak out too much to where the heavenly
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: fire and his body begins to lash out and he
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: comes and circled by this you know holy fire thing
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: is like well, no one's able to get him to
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: bring it under control until Clary. She has one of
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: those moments of like it sounds kind of like an epiphany.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: It's when her own unique ability kicks in because she
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: has the ability to create new rooms, and in this
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: desperate moment trying to help Jace, he sees an image
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: of a new room appear, and she approaches Jace. She
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: actually like walks through the fire and doesn't It doesn't
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: hurt her because she's not Egle. And she takes Jace
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: and she pulls out her sword and she marks the
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: sword with the new room. And when she does this,
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: the sword draws all all of the heavenly fire from
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Jason's body and then from the circle around him into
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: the sword. So now the heavenly fire is being is
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: sealed in her in her family sword hails FROs mm hmm.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: So now they have they now have an effective weapon
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: that can tip, that can kill Sebastian, because before their
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: plan was to try to like get Jase to fight,
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: to fight Sebastian and basically get the Heavenly Fire to
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: react and lash and lash out of Sebastian again. But
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: that's not a like a sure fire thing, because well
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Sebastian could just run away. So they need something that
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: can you know, that they can direct and they can
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: direct the Heavenly Fire through and well now they have it.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: Going back to UH, going back to our our dimension
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: UH Shadow the Shadow World, the downworlders are beginning to
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: fracture and beginning to begin to become more divided because
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: since their representatives and the Clave had all been kidnapped,
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: they're now left feeling they're afraid, they're scared, and they
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: feel defenseless because the and Darkened have also begun attacking them.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: The Darkened destroyed the The Darkened had attacked and completely
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: wiped out the Prater Lupas, which was the organization that
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: watches out for young young Downholders, So like new vampires
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: and were wolves and were you know, young warlocks and
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: were out in the streets and don't have full control
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: over their abilities. Trader Lupus would step in and often
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: take them in teach them how to teach them how
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: to live with their abilities and make sure that they
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: can become, you know, beneficial members of society, and also
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: keep the existence of the down world a secret and
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: also keep them from unnecessarily harming Mundanes. So Sebastian had
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: attacked the Praeter Lupus and he had killed Jordan. Jordan
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: was this werewolf that had a path. Jordan was a
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: were wolf that had turned another were wolf named Maya.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: I haven't really mentioned these characters. They haven't been of
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: a more They haven't been of a more of a
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: story in the earlier books, but their presence in this books,
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: in this book specifically was more pronounced like the thing
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: is the thing with Maya and Jordan. They kind of
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Maya really hated Jordan because Jordan when he first was
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: turned into a were wolf, he ended up attacking locer
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: control and attacking Maya, turning her into a were wolf.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: And they used to be a couple but then they
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: but then their relationship completely just went down the toilet
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: because of the werewolf incident. And then when they finally
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: meet up with each other, Jordan wants to make amends
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: and make things right because what happened was you know
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: entirely his fault, and they do reconcile to a degree.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: But things Jordan wants to wanted to get back together
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: with Maya. Maya was on the fence back. She didn't
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: want to be back together with him because she felt
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: like he was just using her as like some form
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: of like redemption arc right, and so it was kind
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: of rocky, but she but Indian Sebastian kills Jordan and
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: he spares Maya in order so she could spread the
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: word of the Darkin's actions. And and the thing is
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: that because because Luke is no longer, Lucas is currently
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: a hostage of Sebastian and temporary leadership that was that
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: was placed over the New York Pack has been eradicated.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: Uh Now, where the New York Pack has begun, it's
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: beginning to fracture, and and several werewolves began trying to
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: establish their own dominance over the pack. And you know,
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: of course, some of them feel that because of Luke's
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: former history with the shadow Hunters, they think that he's
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: more loyal to them than he is to the pack.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: So Luke's second in command a guy and put the
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: werewolf name that challenges the challenges the dissenters and they
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: begin to fight. He almost loses, but Maya ends up
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: stepping in and she defeats the dissenters, and well, she's
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: now She's now the leader of the werewolf of the
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: New York Pack, so okay, cool, she's the alpha now.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: She decides that if the best way to protect the
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: downworlders is that especially the werewolves, is that they need
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: to make an alliance with the vampires. That's something that's
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: typically done, considering how werewolves vampires are like cats and dogs,
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: literal cats and ducks with each other. Yeah, she approaches
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: the vampires. The thing is, though, the vampires are being
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: led by this sadistic younger vampire named Maureen. Little backstory
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Maureen was Maureen was turned by another vampire named Camille
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: to fuck with Sebastian Sebastian Simon because Simon had lost
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: control of his thirst and he had fed on and
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: nearly killed Maureen. And the thing is is that the
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: way to And then Camille stepped in and like she
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: made it seem like Maureen died to try to like
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: unsettle Simon, and then she turned Maureen into a vampire.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Maureen later kills Camille and takes over the leadership of
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: the vampire coven. But and so now she's kind of
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: ruling the vampire of the New York Uh, she's kind
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: of uh, she's kind of ruling the vampire covin as
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: like she's very unhinged. She's not doing a good job,
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: and a lot of the other vampires don't like her.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: But you know, they have a clear chain of command
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: and since she, uh, since she killed the last leader,
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: she's in charge, and they can't exactly legally go uh
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: legally ah dethrown her. Yeah, so they were just they
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: are the vampires. I mean, they're gonna they're just they're
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: gonna do what she says. But they're they're biding their time.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: When Maya approaches Marine, the thing is, marine Is is
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: immediately like, no, I'd rather just eat you and tries
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: and she tries to kill Maya and starts drinking Maya's blood.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: The thing is, Maya had prepared had kind of anticipated this,
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: so before meeting up with the vampires, she had drunk
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: a bunch of holy water, so holy water was coursing
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: through her veins. So when Maureene bites her and starts
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: drinking her blood. She gets a good dosage of holy water,
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: and she melts like we're talking. We're talking the Wicked
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: Witch of the West kind of melt like seeing you. So,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: now that marine's out of the way, her second in command, Lily,
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: takes her place and agrees to the and immediately agrees
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: to the alliance with the werewolves. She's like, Okay, now
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: that nastiness is out of the way, let's let's talk alliance.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: All right, Gods, we got this. We're gonna We're gonna
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: work with werewolves here. You know, the and dark And
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: are threatening everybody. And it's about this time that the
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Darkened had begun their attack on Idris. And the thing
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: is that they are the shadow Hunters are completely are
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: being completely overwhelmed by the and Darkened, And the thing
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: is the and dark And are also being ACKed by
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: the Fay. So this is now at this point, they
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: now know that, like for one hundred percent sure that
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: the Sealy Queen is as sided with the and Darkened,
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: and her soul entered troops are attacking and killing shadow
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Hunters in Alcante. The thing is is that they had
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: a bit of a warning. So this was when they
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: set up fay traps all over the city, so iron traps,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: and they start using iron weapons. And while this does
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: help to keep the fairies at bay, they're still being
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: overwhelmed and it seemed like they're all about to get
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: wiped out and the dark and are not gonna They're
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: not going to they weren't going to spare anybody. They
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: were going to completely eradicate the shadow Hunters. Yeah, going
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: back to the going back to eatam Clary, Jace, Simon, Isabelle,
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: and Alec They finally reached Sebastian's fortress and h Simon, Isabelle,
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: and alec A head off deeper into the into the
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: fortress to try to free the hostages they find. They
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: find them, and they also find that while they're for
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: the most part okay, they notice that Magnus seems to
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: be very sick, like he's almost like he's getting like
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: he's like dealing with some kind of an infection or something,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: even though he's not wounded. They learned later it's because
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: since they're in the realm of Asmodius, Asmodius is uh
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: deliberately making ah Magnus sick. The reason why he's doing
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: this is because Asmodius is, magnusis demon father. Oh yeah,
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: so the thing is to think about Magnus he is
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: a warlock, and warlocks are half demon half humans. Think
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: about Magnus particularly is that he's more than just a
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: half demon. He's actually part half angel. He's half fallen Angel.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: So he's still a warlock in the sense that he's
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: half demon, but because his father is an incredibly powerful
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: greater Demon, a fallen Angel at that he is technically
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: more related to the shadow Hunters. So there were several
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: times in the throughout the series where Magnets demonstrated a
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: deeper knowledge of shadow Hunter magic, and in some cases
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: he was actually able to activate certains. He was actually
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: able to use shadow Hunter gear like shadow Hunters use
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: special Adamis Stone as a light source, and only shadow
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: Hunters can activate it because since it's angel, its affiliation
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: is Angelic. Only shadow Hunters can activate it to turn
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: on and to get it to glow. Well, Magnus once
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: pulled one out and cause it to glow to turn on,
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: and that was like a huge hint that he's part
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: angel fallen angel at there at least, so Magnetics blames
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: to them that the reason why he's Si. The reason
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: why as Modus is doing that is because he's as
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: Modius is trying to get Magnus to call on him
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: because as Modius wants to like, wants to fuck around
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: a lot, especially with his own kid. He get his
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: kid to rely on him and his power. So going
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: back to Clary and Jace, they immediately they had to
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: confront Sebastian. And the thing about Sebastian is that he
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: offers them. He offers them a strange deal. Like, of course,
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: he wants Jace to like join him again, but he
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: particularly wants Clary to join him and rule with him
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: in Hell. And if he does this, he agrees that
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: he will seal the gates between the demon dimensions and
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: Earth permanently, basically making it to where Earth will now
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: be free of all of demon kind, and of course
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: like and of course set her her family and friends free. Now,
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: Clarie is internally screaming and revolted by this because for
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: some reason, Sebastian has this weird fixation on her in
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: a Jamie Lanister kind of way. Oh no, but she
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: agrees and go and and goes to Sebastian and like
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: she tries she kind of I'll give clariy this. She
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: really sells it in this part. She like embraces him
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: kind of like get a little too you know, close
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: with her brother. And this does cause Sebastian to uh
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: Laura's guard and when he puts her puts his own
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: arms around her. Ah, she immediately pulls out her short
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: sword and stabs him. Yeah, girl, she stabs him. And well,
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: as soon as she stabs him, the Heavenly fire sealed
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: within the UH heals for us me UH immediately bursts
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: out of the out of the blade and completely fries Sebastian.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: The thing is, though it does not kill him immediately,
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: but what it does is that the Heavenly Fire burns
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: all of the demon blood out of his body, completely
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: burns it out of him, and it reverts him back
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: into Jonathan Morgenstern. Now you might be wondering what does
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: that mean. Well, it means that it turned him back
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: more or less into his shadow hunter form. What's what
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: Jonathan should have been if if his father had not used,
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: uh not experimented on him with demon blood. Now, the
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: thing is is that because the demon blood was so
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: integrated into his into his DNA. The process of being
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: of it being burned from his body actually leaves him
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: so weak that he dies. But in a few moments
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: before he dies, Jonathan does change. He becomes less, you know,
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: like his eyes become less sadistic. And as it turns out,
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: they change color too, because before he he had the
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: same eye color as his father, Balancine, because Valancine was
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: described as having like very platinum blonde hair or like
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: platinum or nearly white hair and dark eyes, and Sebastian
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: had the same appearance. He looked he looked just like
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: his dad, very pale platinum hair and h and dark eyes.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: But in Sebastian's case, his eyes look so so dark,
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: they were almost soulless, right, They practically look sole as
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: they were in the eyes of you know, of a psychopath.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: But when the heavenly fire burnt through Sebastian and then
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: after there they do their job, after it does its
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: work and the fire dissipates, you look, they look at Jonathan.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: Then they see his eyes and they're a bright blue
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: like his mother's. And the thing is is that because
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: of because the fire burned the demon part of him out,
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: the demon parts out of him. He's actually now more himself,
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: like who he was supposed to be, a shadow Hunter
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: and because like I guess you could say, like the
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: demon blood was suppressing the empathy, the more empathetic parts
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: of him, like were completely blocked it and you know,
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: kept him from ever feeling remorse for his actions and
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: things like that. Like I guess you could say there
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: were two parts of Sebastian that were always there, you know,
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: the demon influenced part and then the shadow hunter part.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: And the shadow hunter part was always there, but it
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: was never in control. But now that the demon part
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: is gone, he's that part of him was able to
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: come out, and he actually expressed remorse for what he did,
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: what he had done, and his mom Like it's at
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: that point, Like, uh, it's at that point the uh
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: Alec Isabelle and Simon they come, they find Jason Clary
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: with Sebastian and they have the hostages with them. Uh.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: Jocelyn approaches Jonathan and she actually holds him for a bit,
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: and like she doesn't really cry over him as he
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: dies because she's long since marked the death of her son.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: There's a bit of a like kind of like a
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: touching moment because you know, it's she's his mother, and
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: she actually sees gets to see Jonathan as the son
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: he should have been, you know, before he dies. But
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: before he dies, Jonathan tells Jace where the Infernal Cup
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: is hidden and tells him that he needs to destroy it.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: And he tells him that as soon as he destroys
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: the Cup, the and Darken will die, that will be defeated.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: So Jace finds the Infernal Cup and immediately destroys it
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: and all of the Darken instant die. They just dropped dead.
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: So the Darken that were with Sebastian and eat them,
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: they immediately die. The the end Darken that were attacking Idris,
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: they die. And it was kind of funny because when
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: they all started dropping dead, the Faye that we're still fighting,
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: that we're fighting with them stop and they're looking around
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: seeing their allies dead and they're just like, oh shit.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: And then the shadow Hunters immediately strike back and slaughtered
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: every Fay they kept they come across. Uh oh some
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: of them escape but yeah, and some were taken were
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: taken into custody, but yeah, the Fay are fucked. Yeah, yep,
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: so this book so think so now the heroes and
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: eat them. They're like, whoa, okay, we want yay, how
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: do we get out of here now? And the thing
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: is that they're not going to be able to make
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: it back to the gate leading back into the Fay
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: world because one thing, it's going to be nearly impossible
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: to find, and they're not going to be able to
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: make it, especially with Magnus, because Magnus is getting weaker.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: So while trying to figure it out, Magnus decides, like,
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: all right, he's gonna have to call him. So Magnus
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: decides to call on as Modius, his father. As Modius appears,
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: and as Modius is surprisingly like looks just like almost
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: exactly like his son. There's definite similarities between the two.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: They even have the same cat eyes. And as Modius
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: makes a deal, comes up with a deal like a proposition.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: He'll get them all back, he'll send them all back
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: to Earth if Magnus gives up his immortality and power,
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: so Magnus will be just basically human. And Magnus was
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: gonna agree, and Alec was like conflicted, but he was,
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: but he didn't want Magnus to give up his immortality
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: like that, that's a very crucial part of him, you know,
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: without his magic, he you know, it's part of him
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: that he'll never be able to use again. But Simon
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: steps forward and says no, then actually surprises everybody by
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: stepping forward and says, if you want immortality, then take mine.
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: I'm a vampire, and Asmodious actually gets intrigued by this.
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: He's like a vampire and a day and a day walker.
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: That actually sweetens the deal. Okay, like, all right, I'll
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: give you by all righty, I'll uh, I'll take all sudden,
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: I'll take the deal. But there's one more thing. There's
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: one more thing I want in order to make this
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: more fit this deal, more to sweeten the deal. If
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: he takes Simon's immortality, basically turning Simon back into a
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: normal human, He's going to take Simon's memories of the
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: Shadow of the of the Downward, so basically all of
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: his memories of his time as a downworlder of Idris,
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: pretty much everything from book one forward, but it goes further.
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: He's also going to basically be wiping out his memory
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: of Clary. So those two have been friends since they
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: were kids, have been best friends since they were kids,
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: and Clary is immediately against it, but Simon tells her
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be okay. It's better hit bad, hits better
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: this way because he was never really meant to be
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: a part of the down world. And the thing is
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: is that Isabelle is also really pissed because she's like,
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: because the two of them have actually been going there,
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: they've actually formed a really strong relationship because before, like
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: Isabelle kind of kind of jumped his bones in a
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: more like physical way, like they started a relationship for
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: just purely physical, but she actually developed she caught the
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: fields for Simon. Oh my god, let me tell you something.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: Isabelle is a ten. Simon's is solid seven six. Maybe
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: he's a dork, skinny dork, right, Like he's that dorky,
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: gangly teenager. And you got Isabelle, who is this beautiful
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: young woman and a shattle hunter at that. So she's
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: kick ass and she could probably kick your ass while
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: wearing high heels. Two she is queen, so yeah, it's like, yeah,
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: but she caught the feels for that for our little dork,
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: and now she's gonna lose him. But Magnus kind of
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: hints to them that there's a way around this. It's
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: gonna be okay, there's a way around this. So Simon
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: agrees to the deal as Modius takes his memories and
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: is immortality and since them all back to Earth. So
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: back on Earth, the shadow Hunters begin the process of rebuilding.
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: The clave began really discussing, uh, begin the really begin
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: the debate and full of recruiting Mundane, recruiting Mundanes to
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: become shadow Hunters because now that they have the Mortal
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: Cup again, they can make more shadow Hunters. But it's
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: a very dangerous process because not every person is going
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: to survive becoming a shadow Hunter. So they have to
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: be very cautious and they got to be careful and
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: very nitpicky. And as it turns out, Magnus was brought
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: with had a hand. And the cool thing is is
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: Magnus has a hand and recruiting. He's like, all right, cool,
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: I have just the person we can that we can
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: do a test trial on the now Mundane Simon. Yeah,
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: so there's a loop. There's always one thing you gotta
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: remember when it comes to making, when it comes to
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: deals and contracts, there's always a loophole. Yeah, yep. So
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: the reason why Simon's memories were taken away by Asmodius
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: is because he's basically taking away the part of him
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: that was a downworlder. And well, because he took the
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: part of him that was a downworlder, took away his
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: memories of the downworld. So that was the catch, right,
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: So what if Simon became a Downwolder again or Downwolder
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: adjacent shadow hunter. Yeah, So the end of the book,
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: Simon is approached and approached by Isabelle and Magnus and
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: then they convinced him to drink from the Mortal Cup
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: to be and he becomes a shadow hunter, and he
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: actually starts getting some of his memories back. Now, they
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: don't all come back, but some of them do get unlocked,
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: especially his memories of Clary. Claire was particularly depressed because
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: she just lost her best friend and she and Jace
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: are now, but before she learns that Simon is basically
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: being the old Simon basically comes back. Her relationship with
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: Jace begins to grow because, like now that they're fine,
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: they were before throughout the book they were together, but
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: they couldn't be you know, together, and mainly because of
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: the Heavenly Fire. Uh still trapped in Jace's body. But
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: now they got no obstacles preventing them from being together.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: They're exploring the relationship and becoming stronger as a couple.
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: They're Joscelyn. Uh. Joscelyn and Luke finally tie the knot,
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: and the book actually ends during their wedding, and it's
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: at her. It's at Jocelyn's wedding that Simon shows up
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: with Isabella and Magnus and Clary. She's she's ecstatic to
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: see him, and that's when she learns that his memories
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: have come back somewhat because of his conversion into to
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: a shadow hunter.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm, so woo.
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: Simon's extradow hunter now and he gets his and he
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: gets some of his memories back. Later, it is hinted
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: later on in sequel series that he still doesn't have
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: all of his memories back. There's still some that just
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: have this never came back. But still he's more or
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: less the same person, and he now remembers Clary for
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: the most part. Their child, their share, their shared childhood,
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: their friendship and everything. Simon and Isabelle start a very
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: strong relationship. UH. Magnus and Alec their relationship was still
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: somewhat on the rocks at first, but and they know
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: they acknowledged that their relationship has ended, but they acknowledge
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: that they're that they still have really strong feelings for
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: each other and get back together. It's like, WHOA, So
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: that is going to be it for the Mortal Instrument series.
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: This series ends with Jocelyn and Luke getting married, and
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: it's later on in the series that we learned that
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: they have a kid together, like believe Clary has a
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: little sister. Now I have to don't quote me on that.
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: I have to double check the last series. The last
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: sequel I read was The Dark Artifices. Yeah, and uh
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: there was another sequel series and it was I never
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: got around to reading it. Mainly at that point was like,
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: since the Mortal Instruments, the world of the Mortal Instruments
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: is still like tailored for younger, younger readers, teens, young adults.
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: It's not something that I really care to read anymore.
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: I read these books when I was when I myself
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: was a young adult, and I enjoyed it then. And
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: I reread this this series several times and uh, it
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: was enjoyable. But going back and reviewing the series. Again,
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: I was like, you know, I guess I really leveled
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: up as a reader, because you know, this kind of
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: story just doesn't do it for me anymore. And I'm
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: gonna and I kind of blame the Wheel of Time
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: because it seems like after I read The Wheel of Time,
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm craving more in depth stories, something that really
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: like takes you out of this reality into something like
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: completely unrecognizable and just go deeper into all these like
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: different kinds of lore. So I'm I mean, I'm here
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: for it. I'm here for that kind of stuff. I
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: still like The Mortal Instruments as a series, and if
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: you're a young reader, definitely read it. And you haven't
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: read this series, definitely read it and read the sequel
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: series and even the prequel when you get the chance.
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: I personally couldn't didn't run on the time when the
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: prequels came out, I was already like getting to that
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: point where I like, a young adult books aren't aren't
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: for me anymore. I mean, I still read burd Talk
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: and that's still but in mertzt Augus is still tailored
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: for young adults, but still they're good reads. I definitely
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: recommend them, and even if you're if you're if you're
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: an older orbiture reader and you still but you still
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: enjoy those kind of books. Don't read it. It's good
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: read and of course just read something.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: Read read read.
• 56:24

  Speaker 3: be doing We're gonna be doing another series by t J. Kloone,
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, one of his earlier works. The funny thing
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: is about this series that we're gonna review is that
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: it's he did not write this series to be like,
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: to be serious. He wanted to take a break from
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: the more serious novels he wrote. I mean, I mean,
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: all of his books tend to be light hearted and
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: uh fun to read, but they can have like get
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: into the fields very deeply, and they do tackle certain
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: like issues and you know, especially concerning like you know, relationships,
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: mental health and just over well overall well being and
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: family found family, things like that. And so he wanted
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: to write something different that was completely not serious. So
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: we're gonna be reviewing his series Tales of the Tales
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: of Her Tales from Varinia, And I love the series.

  Speaker 3: Wolf Creek novel the Wolf Song novels, or like Bear
