Thursday Quotables: City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments #2) by Cassandra Clare

Welcome back to Thursday Quotables! This weekly feature is the place to highlight a great quote, line, or passage discovered during your reading each week. Whether it’s something funny, startling, gut-wrenching, or just really beautifully written, Thursday Quotables is where my favorite lines of the week will be, and you’re invited to join in!

My choice for Thursday Quotables is City of Ashes, the second book in The Mortal Instruments, by Cassandra Clare. I know I quoted City of Bones only two weeks ago, but there is simply so many fantastic quotes in Cassie's books, so here are some of my favorite quotes from City of Ashes:

As usual, tons of sarcasm, this time from Jace.

This is one of my favorite quotes ever. It's so sweet, and I really agree with Clary on this one.

And this is just hilarious. You only find conversations like this in something written by Cassandra Clare. As usual, her books invite you to cry, laugh, yell and have regular fangirl attacks (just wait until I start re-reading City of Glass. That's what I call an emotional roller-coaster).

So, what quotes made you cry or laugh this week? Did you love the quotes as much as I did, or do you have other favorites from City of Ashes, or from Another book? Your comments always make me smile, so comment away!

Awesome! I read this a while ago, and I'd forgotten how funny some of the lines are. Magnus is the best!

Dark Dystopia

Afterimage

by J. Kowallis

My rating: 4 of 5 hearts

"I set my head back and try hard to focus. The drugs keep my control slippery and out of reach. All the years of practicing to keep The Public out of my mind seems like stupidity. A picture begins to appear and I quickly push it aside."

Creative, devastating and intense. Afterimage introduces a dark and authentic world that will keep you hooked from page one. Following Reggie, whose dreams become reality, as she tries to figure out the world she lives in.

The world will keep you up at night and give you nightmares, but it is worth every moment of it!

Spellbinding NA

The Dreamer

by E.J. Mellow

My rating: 5 of 5 hearts

"I begin to dream of something familiar. I'm floating over a nearly empty field at night. A solitary elm tree rests in the distance. My body's warm with light, as bright as a star, and I move faster and faster, racing toward the tree."

The Dreamer follows Molly, an ordinary girl who gets hit by lightning and starts having dreams - dreams that are not actually dreams. The world Mellow creates is amazing and imaginative, and with writing that dreams are made of, she makes it feel more real that the real world.

A kick-ass heroine and an incredibly hot male doesn't exactly make it worse, either.

Kick-Ass Heroine

Whirl

by Emma Raveling

My rating: 4 of 5 hearts

"Emotions are powerful sources of energy. They are what makes us alive. They provide proof of our souls."

Kendra Irisavie is not only more than capable of handling herself in a fight, she's also a very powerful ondine. And supposed to end the war that's been going on for several millennia.

An interesting world and good writing, but the characters are the highlight of this story! A unique story, with great fantasy elements, and a must-read for YA-readers.

Epic Fantasy

First Year

by Rachel E. Carter

My rating: 4.5 of 5 hearts

"I would join combat or die trying... A fine choice of words. What had been meant as a melodramatic proclamation was now to be my intended irony."

This is a world you do not want to miss! The author drops small hints and clues that leaves you wanting more of the world, and has created an amazing, unique world. Layered characters and amazing world-building makes it a must-read for all fantasy-lovers.

This book will leave you with a false sense of security, only to rip the rug from under your feet and turn your world upside-down, leaving you wondering what's real and what's not.
