Moving Heaven and Hell

Oh Cassandra Clare, you sure know how to spin a yarn. City of Lost Souls was so good in so many ways. I really need to get my hands on City of Heavenly Fire soon. Sebastian (or whatever you want to call him) makes my skin absolutely crawl. Especially near the end of the book when he is assaulting Clary, his sister, almost going as far as raping her! He would have, too, if Clary hadn't been able to fight him off. Jace and Clary never have it easy, do they. They finally find out they aren't brother and sister, then Jace gets possessed (essentially) by Lillith. They are able to break that connection, only to have him be kidnapped (that really isn't the right word) and controlled by Sebastian. Now they have broken his bond with Sebastian, but he seems to be consumed with Heavenly Fire and unable to really touch Clary. A few little stolen kisses, but come on! These guys deserve a little break!

Now I've started reading The White Queen by Philippa Gregory. I've seen the TV show that is based on this book and so far it's exactly the same. However, I have read less than a chapter, so I don't expect that to be the case for much longer.
