This was so short???? The hallucinations part was really REALLY weird, but all the other stuff was cute. Give me more parabatai pairs, please.

They told me to read the shadowhunter tales first before reading Lady Midnight and that book was pending on my TBR list for like two and a half months now. I get it that Emma and Julian are in love with each other and it'll be a problem coz parabatai cannot be more than friends.

Alright so I figured she took him out for a reason and wow. The thing where he goes through the thing with Clary. Wow. I am so happy and j hope he gets all them back. I am so happy they are gonna be parabatai.
And also they go see Julian and Emma's ceremony which is great and they are acting weird cause they like each other which is sad and yeah. Super great - May 20 2017

I liked this short story. It was interesting seeing how close Clary and Simon were and I liked that they were given a way to become parabatai. It was also nice seeing everyone but again, I didn't care about them as much as the Blackthorn family. I especially felt bad for Julian.

The parabatai is the number one thing I love most about the Shadowhunter world. I'm just really not very fond of Clary, but I love everything that has Jem Carstairs in it, so...

When I started this one I was so confused! But I'm happy Simon and Clary have decided to become Parabati. Jules and Emma were so cute...but man they really screwed up with being Parabati. Like literally 5 mins after Jules is just leaving the after party cause he can't deal. It was nice to see some of the gang together again. Looking forward to some possible Malec next story!

Este relato estuvo muy bueno.

Admito que al principio estaba como: "What the hell is going on?" pero después todo comenzó a cobrar algo de sentido.

Simon esta en la Academia algo decaído cuando aparecen Magnus, Clary y Jem para notificarle que han sido elegidos por Emma y Jules para ser uno de sus testigos en la ceremonia de Parabatai... O La Prueba de Fuego.

Sin embargo, Clary y Simon son sometidos a una prueba ellos mismos. El resultado no fue otro que la certeza de que Clary y Simon están hechos para ser Parabatai.

Aww, Clary y Simon BFF de por vida.

Sin embargo, las pruebas agitan la memoria de Simon y recuerda la primera vez que conoció a Jace o mejor dicho cuando Clary encontró a Jace en Java Jones. Simon recuerda lo que sentía en ese momento y la diferencia con los sentimientos que tiene ahora, sentimientos que son los correctos.

Pero este pequeño detalle opino que tiene más que ver con Jules y Emma.

Jules no se nota sumamente cómodo en la ceremonia, cosa que Simon nota... Y que en mi opinión es lo que despierta ese recuerdo. El nota algo en Julian, algo que el sintió hace mucho tiempo.

En mi opinión, Simon sabe que Jules esta enamorado de Emma. Quizás no se ha dado cuenta todavía de que es eso o son imaginaciones mias (lo de que Simon sepa, no que Jules esta enamorado de Emma... Eso se sabe desde hace años) pero fue un relato sumamente interesante que me dejó al borde del asiento mientras leía.

This wasn't as good as expected but I still love the content. Hope the next short story will be greater
