And just to be able to do that, I have to undergo rigorous training.”ġ) Further world building issues. Witches and warlocks can only use magic because they have demon blood.”Ĭlary took a moment to process this. “Get it through your head: Human beings are not magic users. D might use magic different from what he uses, which sets him off on yet another poorly thought out argument: Clary tries to counter with the idea that Mme. He’s been looking through Dorothea’s books, and declares them all worthless. Meanwhile, Jace goes back to being a general asshole. She feels bad for about two seconds, but doesn’t do anything about it, much like a certain other female YA protagonist. You remember Simon, right? Clary’s alleged best friend, who she left sitting in that coffee house back in chapter 3? And who she has not thought of, let alone attempted to contact since? This sets her off, because it reminds her of Simon. Jace responds condescendingly, and refers to her as “Fray.” Anyone know the answer?Ĭlary then tries to make a funny comment about what kind of classes Jace might take, and fails miserably at it. How this applies to bergamot, I don’t know. He then goes on to say that they’re required to learn basic medical properties of various plants. Yeah, most guys don’t have a kill count, either. What makes it worse is Jace’s response – “I’m not like other guys.” I’d assuming it’s because either she doesn’t know many tea-drinkers, or doesn’t know many guys. I’m momentarily impressed by this, until Clary decides to comment on it, because it’s just soo amazing that Jace knows that bergamot is in Earl Grey tea, because she’s never met a guy who knows that. Plus, you’re the one who hasn’t had anything to eat yet.Īnyway, Jace also accepts the offer, so long as it isn’t Earl Grey, because he doesn’t like bergamot.
Yeah, it’s been rough, but not nearly as bad as that. Clary accepts on the grounds that, “She felt as if she’d been running on pure adrenaline since she woke up.”Ĭlary, apart from the last five minutes, you’re day hasn’t exactly been pulse-pounding. D can actually read fortunes.ĭorothea talks a bit about how her mom was really good at that sort of thing, from palm reading to tea leaves, and she learned quite a bit from her. Clary lies and says she’s neither, and asks if Mme. Dorothea pokes her head through a bead curtain (really) and asks if Clary’s actually interested or is just being nosy. Clary gets drawn in by a poster for the aforementioned palm reading. Dorothea’s apartment in excruciating detail – in short, it’s a hodge-podge mix of stereotypical occult-ish stuff, from palm reading to astrology to some Chinese stuff that doesn’t get explained. The chapter begins with a description of Mme. Why is she so amazing and wonderful? Well, read on and find out. As you’ll no doubt remember from last time, Clary and Jace (after encountering a less-than-hospitable welcome at Clary’s apartment) ran into the amazing and wonderful Madame Dorothea. Welcome back, my friends, to the show that just won’t end.
