[zelda_queen]

Howdy-do, everyone! This is just a reminder that with Marked done, the group recapping for City of Bones is next in line.

If you need a reminder of who is recapping what, the list can be found here.

Remember, e-mail me the recaps and send me a PM when you do so. My e-mail address is zeldaqueen64@gmail.com. There's no hurry if you've got stuff going on, just remember that we can't start until I've got the recaps, that's all.

Also remember, if you still need a copy of City of Bones, PM me.

Aside from that, have fun! Get pumped and let's rip it a new one!

I second this so much! There's a dent in the wall next to my computer, because every time Clary couldn't figure something out - even though she heard someone tell her everything she needed to know - I had to get up and bash my head against something.

I mean, I'm all for her not understanding the world of the hunters since she didn't grow up in it, but when she misses even the most glaring thing and then acts as if it's some kind of huge revelation the moment she finally gets it... I just want to cry.

I think the worst part is that I've gotten all of this from...one and 3/4 chapters (chapter 13 and 14). I haven't even bothered reading from the beginning because there is nothing that captures my curiosity...at chapter 14. I heard my chapters are suppose to be suspenseful and all the jazz and I'm just laughing at the thought...because they aren't.

I think Clary suffers from the 'Too stupid to live' trope. I have made so many revelations long before she did I deserve a cake (and to be inducted into the Shadowhunters, even though I'm a 'mundane'. Anyone else hate that word?)

Mundane is a word I despise from this lump of text. And it's not just Clary who falls under 'Too stupid to live'; there's and absolute gem at the beginning of chapter 19 where all of them fall under this category.

"Mundane is a word I despise from this lump of text."

Small wonder Meyer loves this series, hmm? An asshole male lead, an idiotic female protagonist who's clearly a self-insert, and regular people are treated with complete and utter disdain.

I was stupid enough to read through it from the start. I stopped reading after chapter 17, because I just couldn't take it anymore. My chapter was just "romance mush" and nothing that really moves the plot forward.

Yes, I hate 'mundane' the way it's used in this story with a passion now.
