"That red headed girl was at the institute again today, and she went to a party with the guys and she had to borrow some clothes. She doesn't seem to like being dressed up by Izzy either. I must teach the red head how how to hiss at her for future, but it might be complicated- darn language barriers"
Celes Chai I know that by now you probably have an answer to that but just in case you don't, read TMI. It's absolutely necessary to completely understand what's going on in this book
Also theory for the parabatai curse is that cortana can cut through the runes because remember the scene we got that said cortana can cut through ANYTHING?¿!
I was shocked but the kit thing. I like his character and can't wait for more about him. Also Livvy and Ty they were my fav but I feel a Harry Potter Fred situation and I think one of them is going to die.
It's stated in the book that because Emma and Julian love each other their parabatai bond gets stronger (which is why she was able to heal the arrow wound), but the downside is that their love corrupts their bond and they fall into madness. That's why falling in love with your parabatai is forbidden. Fun fact: The chapter titles and the message are all lines from Edgar Allen Poe's Annabel Lee
UHH why would anyone dislike this video, Jesse and Lady Midnight in one video what is there to dislike?? Anyway loved your review and thoughts on the book honestly I cannot wait to get my hands on Lord of Shadows!!!
I forgot that Kit was blond, so the entire time I imagined him being tan with brown hair and then the reveal happened, like by the angel. This is definitely Cassie's best book yet, I actually made a tag on it. Did you read "A Long Conversation", I would love to hear your thoughts on it. I had to read "The Lottery" for AP Lit this year, so I thought he had to be killed not the killer and yeah! Great video!
Sisi Tolani. same, I know they're not going to break up or anything, but I feel like she's either pregnant or is something completely unrelated to Jace itself.
It just hit me that Jesse can actually pass for a Blackthorn, the eyes & dark hair, and because it's black, I'm thinking probably an older version of Ty
lets talk about the fact that finally A LATINA GIRL IS ON THIS KIND OF BOOK SERIES ( correct me if im wrong ) I could relate to her so mucho because im latina too , definitely this is my favorite book after city of bones
I feel like I have to point out that we actually do see poor Cameron Ashdown once. Kit describes him on page 6 of the prologue and he introduces himself to Johnny Rook on page 8 when Rook asks Emma if he (Cameron) is "the famous parabatai".
The whole video I kept staring at the bookshelves n going like I wish my books were so neat. I've lent it out to soooo many ppl tht the books' spines r creased
Neeha Jael The short story is called “A Long Conversation” and it’s set during the time of Lady Midnight, but centered mostly around the characters from The Mortal Instruments, and that’s all I’m going to say because spoilers suck lol
Neeha Jael If you look it up online it will probably pop up, just look up the title and Cassandra Clare or look up Lady Midnight short story (with this the other snippets Cassandra Clare wrote might pop up too, but that’s more content for you anyway lol)
Im pretty sure Mark can see that everything will end up in chaos for the next book, in the end of the book mark looked like a fey and his amusement is fey like.......and fey amusement is chaos. Anyway saw the Kit thing coming xD but Mark and Kieran is my main ship! When mark said that he should have stayed with the hunt i was so heartbroken and i to be honest was agreeing with him so much, and when Kieran said the stars would have dissappeared/dimmed out before i forget you mark blackthorn made me wanna bawl my eyes out
The legends say... *’You know you’re a Lightwood when you can’t cook. And you know you’re a Herondale when you’re scared of ducks.’* Considering all legends are true...
I believe there is a connection in the story from Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy about James (Will and Tessa's son) and Christopher (Henry and Charlotte's son) relating to TiBerius. More so Ty and James. It was discovered that James had a unique power and I believe Ty has the same power that just hasn't been discovered. Let me know what you think !! :)
I feel like I'm not as enthusiastic about Julian and Emma's relationship as I thought I would be. I'm just not the biggest fan of Julian haha, but on the plus side, this book introduced me to Mark Blackthorn who is my actual son ❤️❤️
The Malcolm reveal had me OMG but that Kit reveal....I literally gasped so loud and fell on the floor. My roommates had to check and see if I was okay. I'm so so so glad I was not spoiled for this book.
Emma was able to heal him because they both already had feelings for each other so their parabatai bond had already started to become stronger than a normal bond
Jesse I loved this review!!! Your defiantly one of my favourite booktubers because your videos are always so fun and upbeat... Also those songs you included fitted in perfectly with the what was going on in this book!!! Thank you so much for such an awesome review which made me giggle a little bit too 😉
I didn't see the Kit thing coming at all either. :O Soooo good! I loved this book and Emma is an awesome character. And sooo happy about Church being around. Julian saying that he shouldn't have become Emma's parabatai was so harsh! Like no explanation at all. Ugh. I hurt for her.
I loved any scene with Mark, Ty, or Kit in it! I agree that I don't believe that Malcolm is dead till I see a body. I'm amazed that you were able to discuss so much in such a short time--my video is over 30 minutes long.
Just finished it!! Omg it’s so freaking good!! Came here straight after finishing the book so I could find the people that relate to my pain...and because Jesse is hilarious 😂
I love how you get all of my own thoughts in here xD SERIOUSLY THO, MARK IS THE WEIRDEST COMBO OF A CUTE AND CREEPY CHARACTER Asdfghjkl my brain doesn't know what to think of him sometimes
I loved Lady Midnight so much! Plus I get that it is kinda creepy that Jules has a room filled with paintings of Emma, but since it's the Jules I know and love, i could never consider him as a creepy guy and I forgave him for his obsessions lol.
Do I have to read TID before reading TDA? I read Tales from The Shadowhunter Academy though, and I heard TDA is mostly about Julian & Emma whom I'm already familiar with because of Tales from The Shaodwhunter Academy
So you said Julian and Emma do things that parabatai usually don't, but we've been told the Simon and Clary would also sleep in the same bed when they were kids, even before they were parabatai, and all the trauma that happened in Julian and Emma's lives that most likely made them want company 24/7 hadn't happened to Simon and Clary yet. We also know Jace and Alec as parabatai, but we really don't know much about how intimate they are. There's also Will and Gem (right? I haven't read the clockwork series but I plan to) but I don't know like, anything about them.
I really really want to read this book. Can i read this without reading the first two series (TID & TMI) ?? My city doesn't sell those anymore, only lady midnight. Is it okay to read it or nah? I think I might get spoiled.
Clary created a birth control rune so Jace wouldn't have to take condoms to hell
Liss Herondale DEAD
Best comment 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Liss Herondale YESSS
Liss Herondale omg! Im DEAD😂
Liss Herondale Im laughing so hard right now
I want an entire series about Church where we see everything from TMI, TID, and TDA from his perspective.
Quick somebody write this fic
"That red headed girl was at the institute again today, and she went to a party with the guys and she had to borrow some clothes. She doesn't seem to like being dressed up by Izzy either. I must teach the red head how how to hiss at her for future, but it might be complicated- darn language barriers"
Ella Hendrickson Must I read both previous series by Cassandra Clare to understand this book or reading only infernal devices will be enough ?
Celes Chai
I know that by now you probably have an answer to that but just in case you don't, read TMI. It's absolutely necessary to completely understand what's going on in this book
Ella Hendrickson I know this is late but YES. We need that, it would be so iconic
Sometimes all I wanna do is hug Mark, but other times I just want to punch him. I can't handle the feels
"Why we gotta fake it, boo?"
I laughed so hard hahaha
i don`t even know if Lady Midnight will ever need a movie,Jesse just acted out the whole book and it made my day
+hayley v LOLOL. I tend to recap the book in a sassy way more than share my feelings. oops. #sorrynotsorry XD
+jessethereader Lol, it was great. Plus Cassie said on tumblr that she will NOT be selling the rights to TDA.
+TaniaDarcy Cult I don`t want one either these days everything is getting a movie, also i think someone said cassie won`t sell the rights of TDA
***** Also no show..... Cause no just no....
Cassandra Clare's writing keeps getting better and better with each book she writes
+Lauren Pineiro so true!
Also theory for the parabatai curse is that cortana can cut through the runes because remember the scene we got that said cortana can cut through ANYTHING?¿!
just saying, but i swear to god CHURCH IS IMMORTAL. He's lived A HECK of a LOOONG ass time.
My theory : Church is Doctor Who
Gggg
its so fucking hilarious how everyone knows better than to think Malcom is dead. 😂😂😂
Seriously, I don't buy for a second that he's really dead.
Yep
I was shocked but the kit thing. I like his character and can't wait for more about him. Also Livvy and Ty they were my fav but I feel a Harry Potter Fred situation and I think one of them is going to die.
Sammy Davidson damn, how spot on
Wow accurate 🙁😂
Sammy Davidson that’s interesting you predicted that... Livvy dies
Um.....😳
It's stated in the book that because Emma and Julian love each other their parabatai bond gets stronger (which is why she was able to heal the arrow wound), but the downside is that their love corrupts their bond and they fall into madness. That's why falling in love with your parabatai is forbidden.
Fun fact: The chapter titles and the message are all lines from Edgar Allen Poe's Annabel Lee
That part with the "How long have you been doing this?" "MY WHOLE LIFE"
LMAO
this was beautiful xD
"Mr. Rookie Cookie"
"Rook da Cook"
UHH why would anyone dislike this video, Jesse and Lady Midnight in one video what is there to dislike??
Anyway loved your review and thoughts on the book honestly I cannot wait to get my hands on Lord of Shadows!!!
+Jbooklover The Followers and The Guardian *not wanting to spoil anyone*
I forgot that Kit was blond, so the entire time I imagined him being tan with brown hair and then the reveal happened, like by the angel. This is definitely Cassie's best book yet, I actually made a tag on it.
Did you read "A Long Conversation", I would love to hear your thoughts on it. I had to read "The Lottery" for AP Lit this year, so I thought he had to be killed not the killer and yeah! Great video!
I looooved a long conversation😍😍
same but I hate how we have to wait a year to know the r
*response
+Susie Kidd Except for that bit where Clary said she's dreading answering Jace I was like 'Huh?????'
Sisi Tolani. same, I know they're not going to break up or anything, but I feel like she's either pregnant or is something completely unrelated to Jace itself.
Oh n who else thinks mark says "why pretend" bcoz he walked in on Cristina kissing perfect Diego just needs a break from the heartache??
#marktina
don`t worry Jesse your not the only person who didn`t make the kit connection
Nina Koestinger I was spoiled for that 😔
THE EPILOGUE KILLED ME MY NEW YORK BABIES❤️❤️
"Why we gotta fake it boo?" Lmao this has me laughing so freaking hard.
It just hit me that Jesse can actually pass for a Blackthorn, the eyes & dark hair, and because it's black, I'm thinking probably an older version of Ty
lets talk about the fact that finally A LATINA GIRL IS ON THIS KIND OF BOOK SERIES ( correct me if im wrong ) I could relate to her so mucho because im latina too , definitely this is my favorite book after city of bones
Ojeda... mmm.. Guatemala?
Yes Latino representation!
I totally didn't see that coming with Kit either! OMG, it took me by surprise!
DID U READ A LONG CONVERSATION (IT WAS RIGHT AT THE END OF LADY MIDNIGHT) BC NEW MALEC CHILD
Ella Lightwøød-Høwlter RAPHAEL
Kaitlyn Carroll IFKR
I'm reading lady midnight at the moment, only on chapter 13 though I ship mark and Kieran so much already !!
Megan Kemp I ship them too
Meg Kemp I ship them hard too but Cristina is always getting in their way😕
I feel like I have to point out that we actually do see poor Cameron Ashdown once. Kit describes him on page 6 of the prologue and he introduces himself to Johnny Rook on page 8 when Rook asks Emma if he (Cameron) is "the famous parabatai".
THANK YOU
Omg Kit shocked me so much at the ending I SHOULD'VE SEEN IT COMING
I LOVE that Emma is already a shadowhunter badass before the novel begins and AGH this novel is so good!
+abookishfairytale the best!
"Mark is such a creeper" sums up the whole book xD
that lady midnight song XD
Great Review Jesse!
+SleepyWiredStudios :D thanks!
your welcome.
I was pumped when the original gang appeared. But when Tessa and Jem showed up?!!? I had to stop and dance around my room for a minute ;)
+Micah Lee I had pretty much the same reaction!
JESSE YOU ARE SO RANDOM!
I LOVE IT! YOU'RE SO GREAT!
9:27 I actually laughed so much when you said "chrissy wissy" idk why I was dying 😂😂😂 and then you kept going and I couldn't stop laughing
oh my god I love Cassandra! she signed my lady midnight book and she was just the sweetest oh my goodness
The whole video I kept staring at the bookshelves n going like I wish my books were so neat. I've lent it out to soooo many ppl tht the books' spines r creased
Jesse, did you read the short story at the end? Also, who ships Kitty?!
Me!
What short story can u tell me !?
Neeha Jael The short story is called “A Long Conversation” and it’s set during the time of Lady Midnight, but centered mostly around the characters from The Mortal Instruments, and that’s all I’m going to say because spoilers suck lol
But where can I find it..My ebook does not have it.. Should it be there in Lady Midnight!? Thank you so much for taking the time to reply by the way!!
Neeha Jael If you look it up online it will probably pop up, just look up the title and Cassandra Clare or look up Lady Midnight short story (with this the other snippets Cassandra Clare wrote might pop up too, but that’s more content for you anyway lol)
Im pretty sure Mark can see that everything will end up in chaos for the next book, in the end of the book mark looked like a fey and his amusement is fey like.......and fey amusement is chaos.

When mark said that he should have stayed with the hunt i was so heartbroken and i to be honest was agreeing with him so much, and when Kieran said the stars would have dissappeared/dimmed out before i forget you mark blackthorn made me wanna bawl my eyes out
JESSE I FEEL YOU ON ALL OF THIS SO HARD. I FEEL YOU. THIS VIDEO GIVES ME LIFE
this is the third time i'm watching this i might be obsessed :) i looovvee how u act the entire book out it just makes me happy
THE KIT PLOT TWIST THO!!!!!!!!
mr rookie cookie, rook da cook, IM DYING and malcom is definitely not dead just waiting to see how he returns. I CANT WAIT FOR THE MESS TO GROW
The legends say...
*’You know you’re a Lightwood when you can’t cook. And you know you’re a Herondale when you’re scared of ducks.’*
Considering all legends are true...
I'm reading Lord of Shadows right now, and if Kit isn't afraid of ducks I will be very disappointed lol
This is one of my favorite reviews by you! I was laughing by butt off!!
I loved this book too! I'm meeting Cassandra Clare today and I'm so excited 🙊🙊
OMG... Did you meet her?? Tell me, tell me, tell me :O
Genesis St-Onge Yes!! It was so amazing :D
Where was that invite???😱😳
I love jesse's reviews cuz you're just bopping along and then BOOM he breaks out into song it's like hsm
"rookie cookie" hahahahahah i love it
I believe there is a connection in the story from Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy about James (Will and Tessa's son) and Christopher (Henry and Charlotte's son) relating to TiBerius. More so Ty and James. It was discovered that James had a unique power and I believe Ty has the same power that just hasn't been discovered. Let me know what you think !! :)
The whole video i was like "shiny shiny the book is so shiny"
You posted this on a 21st of April, my birthday!! And I just finished Lady Midnight, amazing!!
Great review Jesse! I felt I was the only one who lost it when the t-shirt said TMI. OMG. Btw loved the Cats reference haha
I was dying of laughter during most of this video.😂😂😂
It was revealed in the first book that MALEC HAS A SON! A freaking WARLOCK SON named MAX!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like I'm not as enthusiastic about Julian and Emma's relationship as I thought I would be. I'm just not the biggest fan of Julian haha, but on the plus side, this book introduced me to Mark Blackthorn who is my actual son ❤️❤️
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO LITERALLY DOESN'T HAVE THAT "LONG CONVERSATION" IN MY COPY"???
Cecilie Skjelmose it was only in first editions of the book. It's going to be sold as an ebook soon
The Malcolm reveal had me OMG but that Kit reveal....I literally gasped so loud and fell on the floor. My roommates had to check and see if I was okay. I'm so so so glad I was not spoiled for this book.
Emma was able to heal him because they both already had feelings for each other so their parabatai bond had already started to become stronger than a normal bond

Julian saying that he shouldn't have become Emma's parabatai was so harsh! Like no explanation at all. Ugh. I hurt for her.

LOVE your videos and this book. I also did not make the kit connection

I love how you get all of my own thoughts in here xD SERIOUSLY THO, MARK IS THE WEIRDEST COMBO OF A CUTE AND CREEPY CHARACTER Asdfghjkl my brain doesn't know what to think of him sometimes
I made a video on my thoughts on Lady Midnight and I have so many thoughts I'll be making a second one soon.
I love Rook’s nicknames
“Rookie Cookie”
“Rook the Cook”
Me encantan tus videos❤
Wait. It’s a trilogy. NOOOOOOO. The ending of queen of air and darkness 😩
I loved Lady Midnight so much! Plus I get that it is kinda creepy that Jules has a room filled with paintings of Emma, but since it's the Jules I know and love, i could never consider him as a creepy guy and I forgave him for his obsessions lol.
YOU ARE TOO FUNNY STOP
Do I have to read TID before reading TDA? I read Tales from The Shadowhunter Academy though, and I heard TDA is mostly about Julian & Emma whom I'm already familiar with because of Tales from The Shaodwhunter Academy
this is the first time am watching ur videos and I already luv ur videos n u!
lady midnight is my favourite book ever!
this book,man,this book
Ahhhhhh loved your review! I also mentioned lots about the clave in my review! ✌️➰
Must read both previous series by Cassandra Clare to understand this book or reading only infernal devices will be enough ?
Rewatching a bunch of discussions for Lady Midnight that way I can jump into Lord of Shadows.... FINALLY
"The super sketchy shadow market" lol
So you said Julian and Emma do things that parabatai usually don't, but we've been told the Simon and Clary would also sleep in the same bed when they were kids, even before they were parabatai, and all the trauma that happened in Julian and Emma's lives that most likely made them want company 24/7 hadn't happened to Simon and Clary yet. We also know Jace and Alec as parabatai, but we really don't know much about how intimate they are. There's also Will and Gem (right? I haven't read the clockwork series but I plan to) but I don't know like, anything about them.
Julian is bound to turn into a villain
I love your videos Jesse. They always make me smile and make my day.:-) ;-)
I really really want to read this book. Can i read this without reading the first two series (TID & TMI) ?? My city doesn't sell those anymore, only lady midnight. Is it okay to read it or nah? I think I might get spoiled.
I love you Jesse how Simon loves Star Wars. ❤️
This review was so bloody entertaining. 😂 What did you think of A Long Conversation?
