Mortal Instruments & Infernal Devices Lovers! discussion

For a lot of people, this is a hard decision, but I was just curious as to what the majority of people would choose.

For me, it wasnt

I like TID better, i just like the setting and characters and plot better :/ But TMI is okay

to hard to choose cuz the even though they are 2 different books, they are both tied together. so i cant choose. i love them both! <3

I love both of 'em but I personally favour TID. I'm fascinated by anything set in the Victorian era so it wasn't that hard of a choice for me.

I like TID better beacause it has a better plot, and beause since its during the Victorian times, everything is more, beautiful. Like whenever someone wants to express their emotions in TMI, they just say it right out. But in TDI, they say it in a way that makes me wanna cry cause its so beautiful

Hmmm. I fell in love with TMI but I had a relationship with TID. The characters in TID felt more complex, the storyline was fast paced and engaging and I invested more into the series. I'm a little bit heartbroken that there are no more stories with Will, Jem and Tessa, but I think it works better as a trilogy.

Looking forward to my next date with Jace in COHF though...

The Infernal Devices, because simply i like reading those kind of books. set in the old days, no modern technology, it gives you a hint of how hard life...and love life was back in the days.
The Mortal Instruments doesnt hook me that way...

I just finished Tmi...at least what there is so far...and started on Clockwork Angel. I Loved TMI and am a big fan of all the characters, especially Jace, Simon and Alec. I'll let you know what i think of CA but so far so good! :-)

I can't choose...BOTH!

It's really hard to choose because their similar but really different. But, I have to say TID because I'm in love with Will. DON'T GET ME WRONG!! I'm dangerously obsessed with TMI. Those series are my favorite 2

I used to think TID but the third book absolutely ruined it for me. I guess I'm leaning towards TMI now.

I like TMI more, but only because of Jace and Simon.

TID is better

I love them both, but TID is the clear winner for me.

That is exacly how I feel! They are both awesome, but TID is... well, is TID ^.^

I love TMI, but I Love SOOOOOO MUCH TID ! Realmente Cassandra Clare demostró en TID cuan increíble escritora se ha convertido, la saga y trilogía de Cazadores de sombras son sin duda una de las mejores que he leído, pero si me hicieran elegir, diría TID sin pensarlo mas de 2 veces.

Completamente De acuerdo contigo ! :D

I absolutely love both! But if I had to choose, I think I'd pick TID. Just the relationships between the characters sucked me in. I was on the edge of my seat, watching Tessa, Will, and Jem become so tangled up with each other, waiting for the end where it would somehow straighten out. The setting didn't hurt either. :) I don't think I've ever cried or felt so many emotions before in any other book I've read! Since I hate to read books over again, I knew it was a good series when I finished Clockwork Princess and the very next day I began to read it again!

Si? Me encanta Will y Jem pero Will un poco mas! No se como Tessa puede vivir con dos muchachos guapos :P Has leido los tres libros??

Sii! Y dios Cassie hizo que cada pieza cayera tan bien -SPOILER- darle la oportunidad de estar con sus dos amados en diferentes épocas fue lo que cerro el trato, convirtiendo a TID en una de las mejores trilogías que he leído en mi vida :D

I love both, but I'm a sucker for novels set in the 19th century, so TID wins here.

TID all the way. Will tops all fictional characters. Except for maybe Sydney Carton...this series got me to read a classic! Definitely TID.

Lo sé, es uno de mis libros favoritos! Los personajes están bien redondeados y cada vez es más que en el periodo de libro y tiempo.

Exactamente! Cassie creo unos personajes tan increíbles, que no es difícil encontrar a TID entre un montón de listas de favoritos.

¡Sí! Creo que estos libros también fueron mejores porque era su segunda serie, de modo que era un poco más fluido con todo lo que ayudó a diseñar cada personaje y conseguir que el lector más complicado y conectar con Will, Tessa, Jem, y todos los demás. Ayudó a traer a su mundo.

...Estoy utilizando el traductor de google ... Yo no sé nada de español así que bueno, usted es mejor que a mí!

Oh, eso no es bueno. Español parece difícil. Los únicos idiomas que conozco son Inglés y lenguaje de signos.

Sí, sé que el 90% de la lengua de signos americana, creo. Es un poco difícil porque las palabras están en constante cambio. Pero también es divertido. Espero que no me olvido de ella, jaja.

Yo hago eso, también! Pero mi madre no sabe lo que estoy diciendo lo que es igual, "camino a la ruina mamá, camino a la ruina."

Recibo miradas de los demás. Es como si la vieja generación no le gusto ... Alguna vez ha tratado de utilizar un acento delante de la gente para ver si piensan que eres de fiar?

Jaja, te preguntó lo que había en Gran Bretaña? Yo puedo hacer un acento francés y un acento del sur, pero cuando intento el sur creo que la gente se ofende ...

Traté escocés una vez que sólo podía mantener durante como una segunda ... Austrailian es divertido.

i speak spanish, Soy de America del sur >.< but well tengo que saber algo entrando a paginas donde solo hablan ingles :|

Ah, eso es cool! Ojalá hubiera vivido allí!

Well a mi me gustaria hablar ingles fluido xd Sometimes i hate living here, los libros tardan years en ser traducidos.

Usted no puede hablar Inglés fluido? Hablo muy poco español.

No aun practico, pero si puedo manejarlo soo good , i read the books in english >.< ... hey pero manejas mas que lo basico in spanish, true?

Honestly, with the exception of Jem and his relationship with the characters and his interesting disease, I really didn't care for The Infernal Devices.

I would have to say that the Mortal Instruments is better. As terrible is this is going to sounds, I never really enjoy the plot of any the books. I am more interesting in the characters. The plot tries to hard to be a romance novel that it becomes suffocating. So it is easier and more enjoyable to watch the characters evolve. There were just more characters to like in the Mortal Instruments: Simon, Alec, Magnus, Camille, Maya, and that other werewolf whose name is slipping my mind.

Jordan Kyle hahaha Even though I disagree with you about de plot, I do think you're right about de characters evolvement.

Sobre la otra conversación (jajaja) yo soy española y me ha sorprendido mucho ver todos esos comentarios con el traductor... la verdad es que me gusta mucho más el inglés que el español... mucho más simple xD

Apenas sé lo básico en español. Tomé una clase de español, pero sólo durante un año. Y es un poco raro pensar que la gente no puede entender mi lenguaje 100% lo sabes? Bastante guay!

Inglés no tienen más variaciones de las palabras del español? Al igual que las vocales y las diferentes formas en que se podrían poner juntos y tal? Me gustaría aprender español.

Es raro encontrar a personas que hablen ingles y usen el traductor para hablar con nosotros >.< La cosa es que siempre pasa al revés xd

I like TID better but the beginning was extremely boring

it's still pretty amazing at the middle of the first book. I didn't get bored... I'm still trying to finish it. I let my friend borrow it before I finished and now she's killing me about it!!! it's driving me crazy.

The Infernal Devices. I loved the characters more than the ones in The Mortal Instruments and I was always captivated by the books. I liked how TID wasn't just told from Tessa's point of view too

^ True. Like in Mortal Instruments, you're wondering why Jace is a total jerk, and your wondering if you'll ever realize when...

So I just finished CP1 and about to start CP2. I still have to say I love TMI more...much more. Having said that though, CP1 was still one of the best books I've ever read. And I can't wait to read CP2 now. I'm going to read that simultaneously with Divergent because I've been wanting to read that for a long while now. We'll see how that goes...one book I'm sure will win out and become the dominant read of the two.

Oh also wanted to add...I started CA as a Jem fan, and that didn't die in CP1. I still adore Jem and prefer him to Will. Though I do like Will a lot, I think Jace is the Herondale that I prefer. I LOVE Jace! He's my fave character of all Cassie's books so far. And I know TMI is a series I'll definitely read again soon. I've already read the beginning of COB a few times because it seems to be at the end of all the other electronic books I read :-) It never gets old though... Question for all who read CP2...was anyone a solid Jem fan until CP2 and then switched to Will? Just curious.

I agree...CA was very boring to me...though I still read it quickly. I can't even really remember what it was about. I loved CP1 though...just starting CP2. Did you read TID or TMI first? I wonder if that plays a factor in which series people prefer.

I like The INfernal Devices better because I think that The Mortal Instruments needed to be thought out as a 6 book series before it was written instead of making a trilogy then extending it. It kind of disrupts the flow of the story.
But I still love them all!
