So the final book in the first, original 6-book series (not including the prequel series) that we've been waiting for for like, 2 1/2 years, came out Last week. Eeeeeee. I received my preordered copy in the mail yesterday, and finally started the 725pg book at 8:12 last night. Yes, I made note of the time.
At 4:30 this morning my pops walks by my room on his way off to the airport, and flicks my light off and on a few times. I gave him a couple owlish blinks, and croaked, "Jem just got turned back into a regular Shadowhunter. Tessa's going to be so happy."
Actually, I can not prove I spoke these words aloud. Most of my body's systems were shutting down, and I don't know if my vocal chords were ignited or not.
Not that my dad realizes what any of that mean, or knows that Jem is sweet and kind and gentle, and lived a century ago, and due to a demon that killed his parents, he was infected with a disease that was killing him, but it was breaking his sworn warrior-brother/best friend and fiancé hearts', so he became one of the immortal monk-like versions of his people just so Will and Tessa wouldn't have to let him go completely, accepting a fate he didn't want, a fate of watching humanity through a barrier of detachment and loss of emotion, and then his ex-fiancée (he couldn't get married after he turned to a Silent Brother, SOB)Tessa is a warlock so she's immortal and they've met once a year on Blackfriars Bridge in London, and he had to watch Tessa marry Will, and then watch Will die and then watch Tessa be on her on, and he couldn't even do anything about it.... Um, yeah, Dad probably would have hit me over the head with the book if I started spouting out all that at 4:30 in the morning.
But Tessa's going to be so happy.
The next thing I remember is waking up on the toilet, so.... Even I knew it was time to go to sleep. It's not often that you fall asleep peeing. And that's your TMI for the day.
Tessa....................
