The Lost Herondale

The Lost Herondale

Simon learns the worst crime a Shadowhunter can commit: desertion of their comrades. One of ten adventures in Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy. In the early nineteenth century, Tobias Herondale abandoned his fellow Shadowhunters in the heat of battle and left them to die. His life was forfeit, but Tobias never returned, and the Clave claimed his wife’s life in exchange for Tobias’s. Simon and his fellow students are shocked to learn of this brutality, especially when it is revealed the woman was pregnant. But what if the child survived…could there be a lost Herondale line out in the world today? This standalone e-only short story follows the adventures of Simon Lewis, star of the #1 New York Times bestselling series The Mortal Instruments, as he trains to become a Shadowhunter. Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy features characters from Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments, Infernal Devices, and the upcoming Dark Artifices and Last Hours series. The Lost Herondale is written by Cassandra Clare and Robin Wasserman.

Why do all Herondales make me cry? This book was a great continuation of the tales. As always, I am way too eager to learn more about the Herondales and this story really did that for me. The intervention of Catarina Loss in history was something I appreciated - I love to be reminded of just how long Warlock's have been around and what they've seen. The Herondale's continue to be terribly tragic - and this storyline definitely brings forth the potential for a long lost line of Herondale's to be rediscovered, so I love that! I love how this world just keeps getting bigger and bigger, how everything is so tightly and cleverly interwoven. This novella was a nice, easy and interesting read and I can't wait to get onto the next ones

I'm loving the fact that Simon is remembering feelings or memories, LOVE IT! I listened to the audio, and it was really good, the guy didn't give a lot of different voices to other characters, but it was still okay. SIZZY FEELS AND CLIMON MOMENTS IN THE END! We find out something about the Herondale family that made me emotional thinking Jace could have (view spoiler)[a golden eyed and haired sister or brother or lost family out there while he's thinking he's the only left of the Herondale name (hide spoiler)]... lol, me being a troll . John still continues to get on my nerves.

More of the same. Too short and kind of extremely similar to the first. I'm sure when this novella series is finished it will be put into a collection (like the Bane Chronicles) and I imagine it will be a much better read then because it will be like a whole story. With these I'm kind of expecting there to be conclusions and there really aren't any because well, if it concluded, why would I continue to read it, right?

“We want you to tell us about vampires." Simon grinned. "What do you want to know? Scariest is Eli in Let the Right One In, cheesiest is late-era Lestat, most underrated is David Bowie in The Hunger. Sexiest is definitely Drusilla, though if you ask a girl, she'll probably say Damon Salvatore or Edward Cullen. But..." he shrugged, "You know girls." I burst out laughing at this one ,oh Cassie you're awesome ! Tobias's story tho ... *Holding the tears* OH and that Lady Midnight scene AAAAAAAAAH

This book makes me believe that you should read these books before you state The Dark Artifices series. Because that question at the end of that synopsis? Yeah, that's a spoiler. Um, well, this was not a phenomenally enjoyable of a read, but it was informative. Simon is such a cutie and I just want to snuggle him. I also still feel bad for the fact he is feeling all these feelings but his mind doesn't have the memories to back those up.

3.5/5 Recensione su Giulia's World Ci sono delle cose che mi sono piaciute meno, ma tutto sommato questa serie di short stories mi sta prendendo tantissimo *-*. Ci voleva proprio per passare più velocemente l'attesa per Lady Midnight ;). Molto interessante la storia di Tobias Herondale, anche tutta la discussione sulla legge ma di quelle ne abbiamo già avute tantissime con Clary. Parlando di Clary, la parte finale con Simon è la cosa più dolce che poteva concepire questa sadica della Clare *-*. Fantastico! PS: Il teaser di Lady Midnight!!!!!!!! OMG Julian e Emma *_____* non dovevate farmelo questo, no no! >.<
