Shadow Hunters 2x02 contains spoilers

Shadow Hunters 2x02 review contains spoilers
Airdate:01/9/17
Rating ****.5 (4.5 stars)
I would like to start off by saying that this episode was not as good as the season opener, it was a very solid episode I thought that but it wasn’t as good as the episode last week for me. The episode started the Jace and Valentine popping up through the whole that we see them going through at the end of last week’s episode. We learned that Jace was cursed with demon blood by Valentine, while Jocelyn was pregnant with him.  The institute agreed to try and find the people that Valentine is going to get for his team, but the institute is going to try and get to them first and Alec and Izzy find one who refuses to fight a girl, but Izzy ends up beating him. Clary wants to help find Jace and bring him back, but the team at the institute think that she is too involved to help them, and she has not mastered her Shadow Hunters skills yet.  Raphael threatens to kill Simon, and so he and Magnus go and try and find Camille to save Simon’s life.  There is a stone that can put Alec under a spell, but we won’t come back and he could die if he goes too far below the surface, and Izzy warns him that she will kill him if he goes too far below the surface. The episode ended with Clary and Jace or Alec I am not really sure which one it was, running away from Valentine, Clary had just told him that she really can’t see the future as she had told him before when she was under a spell.

There were some great quotes in this episode here are just a few of them. “”I want you to know that I’m here too, we all are.”-Jocelyn” Your mom is the sanest person I know.”-Simon “Alec Jace is my brother too!” Clary “You have me and that’s not going to change.”-Izzy, I recognize that Ming dynasty, of course, I recognize that it’s mine.” Magnus   “I’m not a mundane I’m not a shadow hunter I’m no one special.”-Clary “I’m a vampire and I’m going to prove it!”-Simon

There were something that I liked about this episode and one of them was that Izzy Lightwood was a bad ass, kicking ass and taking names and I love that about her. The other thing was that I liked how it moved the story along, sure it was slow paced at points moving the story along and we learned more about the backstory.  Character development yes still slow, it was still there and we learned more about why the characters on the show are the way that they are. Overall, I felt like it was a very good episode, not a perfect one but a great one.


My one big dislike about this episode was the pacing of this episode, it felt like it was disjointed to me because it was   great in some places, and very slow in some places and I felt like they could have really tightened it up. The slow parts with the pacing were very hard to watch for me, because they didn’t really move the pace forward enough quickly enough for me.

Top Ten Tuesday- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in.  YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life.  As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday –Favorite Couples (Valentine’s Day /Love Freebie)

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl. . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. I love doing this meme because it gives me a chance to bond with other bloggers. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we bloggers will make a post with our list on the topic, or a different one. This week it was Valentines / Love, so I wanted to do a post on favorite couples. I may have done a similar post last year, but I know that there are some new couples on this list.  1- Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy- Pride & Prejudice   This is the only classic couple on this list. I enjoy their relationship because the two characters have little in common, and yet by the end of the novel, they make it work. As you read Pride & Prejudice, you get to see these two find the love each of them was missing. 2- Cath and Levi–Fangirl One of my favorite YA novels needed to appear on this list. I love Cath and Levi becau...

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten Historical

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! Our Host is Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . Every week, readers gather and respond to the topic of  the week. This week, we are talking about Top Ten Books in our favorite genre. I love The Classics, YA of all kinds minus Horror and Mystery, and Historical. I choose Historical as I talk about Classics and YA a lot on this blog. These are in no order, just as they came to me. 1- Romanov  by Nadine Brandes I read this Anastasia retelling in nineteen days when it came out. I loved this book so much! About half the novel was the Romanov’s in exile, and their life in a house where they couldn’t do that much. As the story progresses, we see that Nastya is a spell master, so this is how Fantasy is sprinkled in with the Historical Fiction to tell a new story. I loved all aspects of this novel, even the ones that were sad, and almost caused me to throw this book across the room. I will review this book later on this month. I recommend this for any...
