City of Bones Chapter 16 Quotes

How we cite the quotes:
(Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote 1

[Clary] could see how she was hurting [Alec], and it made her glad. Someone else ought to be in pain for a change. (16.46)

Um. Yikes. Someone needs to take a deep breath and count to 10. Or 10,000. This is a little moment of romantic revenge, which is the best kind of all.

Quote 2

"Don't you ever," [Alec] whispered, mouth a blanched line, "ever, say anything like that to [Jace] or I'll kill you. I swear on the Angel, I'll kill you." (16.47)

We'd love to get the Angel's opinion on this to know whether he or she would condone this violent pledge. We admire the loyalty, but not the threat.

Clary Fray

Quote 3

"I've only ever loved three people in my life," [Clary] said. "My mom and Luke, and you." (16.66)

We're glad Clary didn't include Jace on this list. She's only known him for a few days at this point, so at least we know she's kept her head. Simon's been around for years.
