De cand cu filmul "Orasul oaselor" am fost curioasa cum contiua povestea si m-am apucat de volumul care urma, adica "City of lost souls", volumul 5. V-am lasat cateva citate si in curand(poimaine cred) voi posta recenzia. Mai am pana o termin.
“I don't care," Clary said. "He'd do it for me. Tell me he wouldn't. If I were missing-"
"He'd burn the whole world down till he could dig you out of the ashes. I know," Alec said.”
“Basia coquum," Simon said. "Or whatever their motto is."
"It's 'Descensus Averno facilis est.' 'The descent into hell is easy," said Alec. "You just said "Kiss the cook."
"Dammit," said Simon. "I knew Jace was screwing with me.”
“Missing, one stunningly attractive teenage boy. Answers to 'Jace' or 'Hot Stuff”
“I stabbed you. With a massive sword. You caught on fire."
His lips twitched, almost imperceptibly. "Okay, so maybe our problems aren't like other couples.”
“I never cared,” he said. “I wanted you anyway. I always wanted you.”
“He grinned. It was a wicked grin, the kind that made the blood in
Clary's veins run a little faster. "You want to go on a date?"
Caught off guard, she stammered. "A wh-what?"
"A
date," Jace repeated. "Often 'a boring thing you have to memorize in
history class,' but in this case, 'an offering of an evening of
blisteringly white-hot romance with yours truly."
"Really?" Clary was not sure what to make of this. "Blisteringly white-hot?"
"It's me," said Jace. "Watching me play Scrabble is enough to make most women swoon. Imagine if I actually put in some effort.”
“Do you re-
member,” he said, “when we first met and I told you I was
ninety percent sure putting a rune on you wouldn’t kill you—and you
slapped me in the face and told me it was for the other ten percent?”
Clary nodded.
“I always figured a demon would kill me,” he said. “A
rogue Downworlder. A battle. But I realized then that I just might die
if I didn’t get to kiss you, and soon.” Clary licked her dry lips.
“Well, you did,” she said. “Kiss me, I mean.”
He reached up and took a
curl of her hair between his fingers. He was close enough that she
could feel the warmth of his body, smell his soap and skin and hair.
“Not
enough,” he said, letting her hair slip through his fingers. “If I kiss
you all day every day for the rest of my life, it won’t be enough.”
“What have you done to my cat?" Magnus demanded... "You drank his blood, didn't you? You said you weren't hungry!"
Simon
was indignant. "I did not drink his blood. He's fine!" He poked the
Chairman in the stomach. The cat yawned. "Second, you asked me if I was
hungry when you were ordering pizza, so I said no, because I can't eat
pizza. I was being polite."
"That doesn't get you the right to eat my cat."
"Your cat is fine!" Simon reached to pick up the tabby, who jumped indignantly to his feet and stalked off the table. "See?"
"Whatever.”
“How was the Seelie Queen?"
"Same as usual."
"Raging bitch, then?"
"Pretty much.”
“Of course he loves me. I’m his sister.”
“Blood isn’t love,” said Magnus, and his voice was bitter.”
“I've got the Mark of Cain," said Simon. "That means nothing can kill me, right?"
"You
can kill yourself," Magnus said, somewhat unhelpfully. "As far as I
know, inanimate objects can accidentally kill you. So if you were
planning on teaching yourself the lambada on a greased platform over a
pit full of knives, I wouldn't."
"There goes my Saturday.”
“Isabelle snorted. 'All the boys are gay. In this truck, anyway. Well, not you, Simon.'
'You noticed' said Simon.
'I think of myself as a freewheeling bisexual,' added Magnus.
'Please never say those words in front of my parents,' said Alec. 'Especially my father.'
'I
thought your parents were okay with you, you know, coming out,' Simon
said, leaning around Isabelle to look at Alec, who was — as he often was
— scowling, and pushing his floppy dark hair out of his eyes. Aside
from the occasional exchange, Simon had never talked to Alec much. He
wasn’t an easy person to get to know. But, Simon admitted to himself,
his own recent estrangement from his mother made him more curious about
Alec’s answer than he would have been otherwise.
'My mother seems
to have accepted it,' Alec said. 'But my father — no, not really. Once
he asked me what I thought had turned me gay.'
Simon felt Isabelle tense next to him. 'Turned you gay?' She sounded incredulous. 'Alec, you didn’t tell me that.'
'I hope you told him you were bitten by a gay spider,' said Simon.
Magnus
snorted; Isabelle looked confused. 'I’ve read Magnus’s stash of
comics,' said Alec, 'so I actually know what you’re talking about' A
small smile played around his mouth. 'So would that give me the
proportional gayness of a spider?'
'Only if it was a really gay spider,' said Magnus, and he yelled as Alec punched him in the arm. 'Ow, okay, never mind.”
"He is a Shadowhunter,” said Jocelyn. “His loyalty will be to Clave and Covenant.”
“He’s my friend,” said Magnus coldly. “His loyalty is to me.”
"And I don’t see how Sebastian can be all that fond of Jace, either. He
was horribly jealous of him all his life. He thought Jace was
Valentine’s favorite,” added Clary.
“Not to mention,” Magnus noted, “that Jace killed him. That would put anyone off.”
