In this reading they go to talk to Hodge. They learn about this group called Circle of Raziel. Valentine, who seems to be the villian, was part of it, along with Hodge, Clary's mother, Jace's father, Pangborn, and Blackwell. Clary's mother was also Valentine's wife. Some of them left when they saw this Circle was going in a bad direction. The Circle was meant to make the world pure, but Valentine was willing to go to extremes for this. Clary's mother was one to leave, Hodge didn't. Neither did Alec and his parents, so Hodge, Alec, and Alec's parents can't return to Idris except for business. Now they think that Valentine is back to get the Mortal Cup and turn random children into Shadowhunters, that is if they survive. They are worried that Valentine may be after Clary's mother. Clary is worried about her mother. They are probably going to take Clary to the Silent Brothers, who can get into people's heads and thoughts, to retrieve her memories and information that she isn't aware of. Clary is nervous. That is the end of the reading.



This reading interested me very, very much. I was absolutely shocked to here that Clary's mother was married to Valentine, the pretty much evil villian of this book. I'm pretty sure Clary was in shock too. I am worried for Clary because I think that there is that possibility that Valentine is out to find Clary's mother, and I don't think for a good reason. I feel that if Valentine is indeed after Clary's mother, he will find her. I definitely think that Valentine is the main villian in this book because he has Pangborn and Blackwell as his helpers and he is out to find the Mortal Cup and create a scene it seems. I think that they will take Clary to the Silent Brothers because it sounds like they need to. I am anxious to find out what happens next in this book.
