Ooh, well first off Simon didn't explode cause he has Jace's blood and I guess in CC's world its the blood that makes a vampire burn. Thats actually awesome. I think someone is gonna betray the "good guys" and work with Valentine to find out how to help Clarie's mom. Then they'll reveal it.. and probably die. Theres so much unresolved Clary-Jace stuff so I'm excited to see how that works out. Something tells me their relationship is much more complicated than just brother and sister. Complicated enough that dating isn't gross. Clarie is definitely gonna break some laws of 'magic' (I guess) and just kick Valentine's butt to get the Instruments back. Wow, I forgot this was coming out now, I'm excited to read the first chapter, thanks!
