Mortal Instruments Monday; Week 4: Theories for City of Heavenly Fire

Oh my god. We are finally here. The end of a series that has made and put so much readers together to finally coming to an end tomorrow. It feels so weird that we have made it. We will soon read the last installment and know who lives and who survives, who betrays who, who sacrifices what, and what will happen to a cast of characters some of us knew back in 2007 when City of Bones was first published or to us who only discovered of the books a year or two ago. In preparation/celebration of this release, I came up with Mortal Instruments Monday, where each week there is a certain topic relating to the Mortal Instruments series or the Shadowhunter series in general. This week, for the last official Mortal Instruments Monday, we are discussing our theories on this final book, but first I have to give some thanks.

I would first like to thank the City of Heavenly Fire discussion group for bringing me to discuss this final book and making me come up with Mortal Instruments Monday. I describe how I came up with this in the first Mortal Instruments Monday post which I'll link right here, but it is so crazy how I came up with this idea thanks to that group, and I would also like to thank to the moderators (to be accurate my good friend Kitty) for inviting me to the group and cheering me on as I do this little mini-series.

And I would love to thank every one of you participating in this series. Whether you did the actual posts or just read them, I would like to thank everyone for being part of this crazy idea I came up with, and also you guys who were really supportive of me as I toke this idea into affect. I would specifically like to thank Rachel from A Perfection Called Books. She has been very supportive and participated and also has spread this idea around the goodreads and on her blog and I can't thank her enough for her support with this idea. I can't think of a time where I did anything like this, and I again I thank any of you who followed along with this and supported me.

And of course I have to thank Cassandra Clare. Without this amazing series and world she created, this would never ever happen. I think like a bunch of you out there reading this, I would have never been obsessed with reading without the help of Cassandra Clare's books. Thank you, for bringing together so many readers and making so many people (including myself) fall in love with reading.

Now, with the thank yous I had to say, let's start with my theories that I have for this last book.

DISCLAIMER: YOU SHOULD NOT BE CONTINUING ON UNLESS YOU HAVE READ ALL OF CASSANDRA CLARE'S BOOKS. BOTH MORTAL INSTRUMENTS AND INFERNAL DEVICES. IF YOU CONTINUE ONWARDS YOU WILL BE SPOILED FOR ALL OF THE BOOKS.

Mortal Instruments Monday; Week 1: How you came across the Cassandra Clare novels and how they influenced you

Wow, City of Heavenly Fire is coming out in only a few weeks.

Yes, the end is finally arriving to us Shadowhunter fans. To old and new fans, the last last book in the Mortal Instruments series is coming out in only 3 weeks (and I still have to read/finish CP2, COFA, and COLS but let's just keep this between you and me). 

I was typing on the COHF Discussion Time group blog that I don't want to describe how I came across the TMI series since it is kinda long and boring. So I was like 'I'm going to make a post of this on my book blog', but then I came up with the idea of doing a weekly thing to prepare for the City of Heavenly Fire release.

So, in order to celebrate the series and how it's coming to an ending, I plan on doing 5 different Mortal Instruments posts preparing for this release. And most of them should be posted on Monday, which in May I will call it 'Mortal Instruments Monday'.  For those of you who are interested on how I will be doing this, here is how it will go down: Each week for May (and the week after that), I will put up a post related to the Mortal Instruments series (you can include both TMI and Infernal Devices in some cases) in preparation for the release of COHF. Here is how I plan on each week's post to be on:

Week 1: How you came across the Cassandra Clare novels and how they influenced you

Week 2: Zombie Apocalypse tag; Shadowhunter version!

Week 3: Favorite TMI Books in Order

Week 4: Theories to the Last Book (MUST POST DAY BEFORE RELEASE DAY)

Week 5 (this actually can be whenever you want): COHF Review

So if you are interested in this idea, I encourage you to participate! You don't have to do any of them exactly on Monday except for the one for Week 4, you can do most of them on any day of the week or put them all up at the same time.

So, for Week 1, we have How you came across the Cassandra Clare novels and how they influenced you. My story is somewhat long and kinda boring so don't expect too much, but let's get started
