THIS COVER IS GORGEOUS. I seriously love all of the covers, a lot. But... don't kill me.
I've only read the first book of The Mortal Instruments a couple years back, and never got to the rest of the series. I may be the only bibliophile who has never read the series. AHH. Still, I love the cover even if I haven't read the series. That's okay, right?
Anyway, what do you think about the new cover?
I'm still overflowing with giddiness over this book. I feel like I need to apologize to Cassandra Clare yet AGAIN (for like what? The 5th time or something?)! Sometimes I believe myself able to predict the future (which is totally not possible in case you were wondering). I trust my sense of direction so strongly that I almost believe that what I see lying ahead of me (usually when faced with only partial information) is so set in stone that I forget that other possibilities exist (as often more information exists as well). As much as I think I'd love to be able to predict the future, and as often as my predictions do ring true, I don't have this ability and my predictions just as often fall short. After reading Clockwork Angel, all I could see were the similarities between The Infernal Devices and The Mortal Instruments series. The characters, the plot, the bad guys, the twists, the overall story arc that I perceived, the timing and rhythm of events...it all felt so similar. Then of course I read City of Fallen Angels, and I was just left so distraught after reading it. I was one of those readers that felt closure with the way City of Glass ended. I wasn't happy that Clary and Jace had just gotten settled and conflict smacks them in the face yet again. I didn't want them facing these new challenges.
