This chapter scared me. At the time, I first thought that Charlotte didn't know about whatever was wrong with Jem, and Will was trying to keep it hush-hush. <br /><br />C'mon, he's a mundane that knows about Downworld and Shadowhunters?!

Jem is clearly ill and I would have been surprised to see Will act any differently when he saw his friend cough up blood.<br /><br />I think that Will may not have wanted Charlotte to know because she may insist that Jem is too ill to continue on with the others in investigating for Tessa's brother.<br /><br />Mortmain knows that Charlotte and Henry are shadow hunters and that seems odd. How could he know that? If he truly knows about shadow hunters and what they do I would think he would be afraid rather then pleased, and why with hundreds of employee's does he remember Tessa's brother? something doesn't seem right.middinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606104563138198790.post-81817900155543632902011-10-19T04:03:06.018-05:002011-10-19T04:03:06.018-05:00I really think they make a good parabatai, wait ar...I really think they make a good parabatai, wait are they parabatai? I think I haven't read it yet or did I miss it? but my first impression of their relationship is that they compliment with each other, they are balance just for the fact that when Will is cracking up Jem is there to keep the peace and vice versa.<br /><br />I think Shadowhunters have their own agenda back then, tho I really think that Will want to help Tessa on finding her brother so I think Will was out looking for more information.<br /><br />I think Mortmain's association with the occult makes him a danger, knowing stuff I beleive is a bit of dangerous specially when he's a mundane. I think he know's where Nate really is.jayjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15345040608162875768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606104563138198790.post-81708264155798661002011-10-19T02:12:22.911-05:002011-10-19T02:12:22.911-05:00i love will and jem's relationship. they'r...i love will and jem's relationship. they're more than brothers and friends. they understand each other (to an extent) and of course they have secrets from each other and themselves. it's heartwarming to know that despite will's sarcastic attitude to everything, he cares so much about jem. they remind me of jace and alec, except i think will and jem are closer. jace and will are secluded people who hide things from others, but i think jem understands will more than alec understands jace. oh whoops, didn't answer your question. my first impression was that they are an amazing duo. :D <br /><br />well, obviously will is keeping something secret from tessa. when he tells tessa to not get charlotte, i get the impression that he just doesn't want to concern charlotte. this thing that he's hiding, and whatever's wrong with jem, is something that just seems to be between the two of them. i think will also is the type of person who likes to operate alone - he doesn't want to 'trouble' others about whatever is wrong with jem, and will finds himself perfectly capable of taking care of jem. <br /><br />mortmain is highly suspicious.. when i first read about what was happening i wasn't really particularly paying attention (because i just wanted to keep going and find out what happens next), but when i went back to read it again you can tell mortmain knows something the shadow hunters don't. it's sketchy that he seems to be one of the only people who has seen nate and knows nate pretty well (apart of tessa) because nate has worked for mortmain (or so he says). and also the fact that he knew that charlotte and henry are shadow hunters is strange, since he's a human, and yeah, i think the shadow hunters should keep a close watch on him. (well obviously they will, since he knows something about nate, but also because of his knowledge about the shadow hunters)phoobieehttp://basiliskfang.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606104563138198790.post-42596564602958302912011-10-18T23:13:30.910-05:002011-10-18T23:13:30.910-05:00I agree with the others that Will and Jem balance ...I agree with the others that Will and Jem balance each other out perfectly. I'm curious though how they got to be hunting partners. If they were the only shadowhunters their age in London, or if they were close friends first.<br /><br />When Jem starts coughing, Will asks "where is it?", and not "what's wrong?". He already knows what is going on with Jem. With all the Shadowhunters living together, I'm surprised Charlotte doesn't know what is wrong with Jem already.<br /><br />My stomach just dropped when Mortmain called Charlotte and Henry out as Shadowhunters.jbesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06856988211956732370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606104563138198790.post-82838938223405622172011-10-18T21:15:45.173-05:002011-10-18T21:15:45.173-05:00I absolutely ADORE Jem hes very sweet and nice, bu...I absolutely ADORE Jem hes very sweet and nice, but Will on the other hand is rude and sarcastic, i love there relationship and i also love how much Will cares for Jem its sweet.Imperiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14973187989926025377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606104563138198790.post-22985198718334783522011-10-18T18:34:20.096-05:002011-10-18T18:34:20.096-05:00Their relationship is really good.

I like their relationship a lot, and their interactions too. And I do like the balance between them and how funny they both are. And I especially love how Jem seems to keep Will "on the right track".<br /><br />- I know about Jem, and don't know about Will. I thought it was so odd of Will to lie about his drinking, I want to know where all his lying is going (HIS STORY AKBFAKJFA). <br /><br />- First time I read he didn't seem sketchy to me, but I didn't like how he knew they were Shadowhunters, you know right away he might know "too much".Nadinaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10387466897964702342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606104563138198790.post-29542675785204793172011-10-18T07:50:39.275-05:002011-10-18T07:50:39.275-05:00I love Will and Jem together.

It makes sense these two are friends because Will is all mischief and Jem is very pratical. It's a great balance and it shows in how they talk and act to each other.<br /><br />Whatever Will is hiding is connected to to Jem because that's just who they are. Even if he doesn't always show it, Will cares for Jem so whatever is wrong with Jem, Will is all over that. Even if he goes at it alone and lies to cover it. I like how Tessa can see through Will like with the drinking because she knows drunk and Will never smelled drunk. But it was also good she didn't question on it because who know what Will would say when "drunk". I'm sure the secrets have a lot to do with why both boys live at the Institute without their parents and as for not telling Charlotte, that's just Will being himself and wanting to figure things on his own.<br /><br />Mr.Mortmain is pretty sketchy. He acts like he would like to help but he doesn't like shadowhunters in general. Plus the fact he knows about shadowhunters at all is shady so I guaruntee he knows way more about Nate and everything else but of course he will deny it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606104563138198790.post-26302308470062356162011-10-18T05:39:26.944-05:002011-10-18T05:39:26.944-05:00I think Mr Mortmain does know more than he's s...I think Mr Mortmain does know more than he's saying.

He is unwell maybe, but we saw him fit and out working as a shadowhunter in the first part of the book. It left me thinking that even after reading TMI series, there were things I still didn't know about shadowhunters.<br /><br />And I wasn't sure how to make out the intro of Mr Mortmain. When I first read this I thought he might be someone to help Tessa, but may not like the shadowhunters, so could cause conflict between them.MissEmmGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15096049851556163778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606104563138198790.post-8419621375963046792011-10-18T02:44:33.494-05:002011-10-18T02:44:33.494-05:00I LOVED Will and Jem! :) They obviously care for e...I LOVED Will and Jem! :) They obviously care for each other, and they're like brothers!

C...Jem and Will seem like they are almost brothers. Clearly Jem is sick and Will is concerned about him. It's intriguing that Will is lying about his night activities -- perhaps he is doing some investigation that he doesn't want Jem to know about, because he feels that Jem should stay home while he is not feeling well instead of coming out with him on Shadowhunter business. Whatever he is up to is probably personal -- either about Will himself, or maybe in regards to Jem?<br /><br />Mortmain seems like an obvious candidate for the Magister. He is obviously a Downworlder, just from the fact that he knows that Charlotte and Henry are Shadowhunters. Because of this, I think he probably knows something about where Nate is, if not being responsible for his disappearance. I hope Nate is still alive, it was so sad to hear about Tessa's story, about losing everyone in her life.AlternaKatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606104563138198790.post-57191331741807157862011-10-17T20:01:00.538-05:002011-10-17T20:01:00.538-05:00Alright only answering the first question tonight ...Alright only answering the first question tonight because it's nearly 2am and I am very tired, plus the other two I'd spoil if I answered (:<br />-------------------------------------------<br /><br />Will and Jem's relationship. Well like I said from the prologue I love the two together. I love how they act and move around each other. It's like they know each other inside out and you get a real sense of closeness between the two. Jem is so gentle and beautiful in a fragile way while Will has that burning bold presence and though they contradict one another, the contrast is rather wonderful.<br /><br />The way Will instantly sobers at the sight of Jem in need only further proves how much he means to him. Though he wasn't drunk in the first place, but I just mean he drops all acts and moves in to help. So much so that he forgets Tessa is even there for a moment. Even in the way that Jem ignores all of Will's little comments and things, because he knows him well enough to know they are empty words. Truly, a strong bond. Kinda obvious to say that though seeing as they are parabati, but compared to Jace and Alec.... Will and Jem's relationship is a lot more solidified in my opinion. And much more apparent too. Only once do I think Jace and Alec had anything similar, and that was when Alec was struck by that demon. But Jace seemed more panicked that he'd forgotten about Alec rather than that he'd been hurt.<br />Whereas Will forgets about Tessa and runs to Jem. Says a lot, no? :DTessaHerondalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14676905426250169002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606104563138198790.post-28748945925195442732011-10-17T17:39:11.874-05:002011-10-17T17:39:11.874-05:00I think Will and Jem's relationship is very br...I think Will and Jem's relationship is very brotherly.

I don't know what it is about him, but he is such a perfect character. His relationship with Will surprised me. Will seems like such a bad person, but I guess that makes Jem his perfect foil. I don't like the relationship he has with Will because I'm not exactly Team Will. I wish Jem didn't have to rely on someone like Will, which leads me into question 2. I don't think Will told Charlotte because she seems to be overprotective and semi-controling. I think Jem wants to be able to do things and dosen't want Charlotte or anyone else to think of him as an invalid.<br />I also enjoyed how the chapter transitioned from serious and heavy content to a little lighter and more amusing content. I didn't like Mortiman from the second his name was said. He seems dark and shady and I never know what to make of him. Knowing how the book ends, I don't think we have seen the last of Mortiman. He will be back and worse than ever, and no matter what happens, I still don't like his character.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606104563138198790.post-46513504834370718972011-10-17T16:01:58.471-05:002011-10-17T16:01:58.471-05:00I LOVE JEM AND WILL'S BROMANCE.
