Tomorrow is the release of the final installment of The Mortal Instruments series, City of Heavenly Fire! I thought I would share some of my top theories for this book. These theories do not belong to me and I give all credit to the people that thought of them. WARNING: This will contain spoilers for all of Cassandra Clare's books including the Infernal Devices.
Six named characters who will die: Sebastian, Isabelle, Magnus or Alec, Jordan, Maureen, Raphael
First theory: The heavenly fire inside of Jace will somehow burn the last of the drug addiction out of Brother Zachariah, turning him back into Jem.
Second theory: Magnus will either die saving Alec, or vice versa.
Third theory: Isabelle is the child of Maryse and Valentine.
I am excited to see if any of these theories actually happen in the book! Make sure to pick up City of Heavenly Fire tomorrow, May 27!

Book Recommendations
Hey everyone! I have read many books in various genres lately and I thought I would tell you about some of my favorites!
My favorite dystopian novel I have read this year is The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken. In this world, a huge disease has killed the majority of kids ages 8-14 and the ones that are left have acquired mysterious and dangerous powers that they do not know how to control. These children are sent to government rehabilitation camps where the most threatening ones are killed and the rest are used for manual labor. We follow the story of one of these children, Ruby, and her journey after escaping one of the camps. I did not see the ending coming and I highly recommend this to any dystopian lovers.
My favorite classic of this year so far has been Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. It is about a future where literature is outlawed due to it's outdated and controversial material. The firemen devote themselves to discovering people who are hiding books and burning every last page. One fireman, Guy Montag, starts to question the book burnings and suddenly his whole life gets flipped upside down. The character development in this book was amazing and I really enjoyed the stream of consciousness writing style. It is a very short book but the writing is very dense and poetic. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys books that make you think.
Finally, my favorite contemporary recently has been Looking For Alaska by John Green. This book is about a boy named Miles who decides to go to a boarding school for his junior year of high school. It describes the relationships he has with people and the effects that those relationships have on him. This novel was full of surprising plot twists and left me heartbroken. I recommend this to anyone who likes tragedies, or just want a good story.
I hope you found this helpful and feel inspired to read these brilliant novels! Have a wonderful week!
