Annie in wonderland

So I have just finished this book and it is a great read however I am a little bit confused about what is happening in it as I have followed this series most of the way through. It has got me through some very dark times in my life. Because I live with several chronic illnesses and haven’t had what most people would consider a normal life.   (this being for a woman a job marriage and rising a family). I live with eleplisy, high functioning ADHD, and a TBI as well as shojrins syndrome that severely limits my “functional capacity,” this is complex at times because I don’t “look,” disabled and that I need care that others don’t see as care and it can be expensive to get the medical care I need and I am on the pension.     I have the luxury of being on the NDIS though, it is complex however to navigate the system and on my good days I would love to have a “normal,” life this is where this blog comes in talking about disability and how we see the world. I see books not as a Young ad

This has been an interesting post to write and work on as it shows how much real-world history is involved in the clave and the Shadow world and I have had some interesting debates with people about what the clave is like and if it is a good or bad organization and we have found some good and bad about it as we see that it’s essentially a military organization and it’s at times authoritarian and at times democratic in that influences in the families that are enforced, and that the families that run the institute can give missions or take volunteers for them.   However, from what I understand the accords are basically like a peacekeeping treaty and the Shadow hunters enforce them.   But the circle is a very interesting concept as it and the uprising have very stark parallels to history.    Where we have an organization within an organization. The most obvious one is the rise of the [i] Nazi party in Germany leading into World War two as people forget that Hitler was democrati

So this post has been in the works for a while and I had to do a deep dive into a book that I was aware of due to some documentaries I watched on History yet it was a very horrific read and some of these dialogues could have been taken straight out of the history books, at  0.20 of this clip we see Izzy say “ that everyone has a chose Alec, and I made mine.”  This was interesting as it shows that she was willing to risk her life for a Seely as she knew that this Seely was innocent and by Lydia sending him to the city of bones we see that he would not make it out alive. So she got a team together to rescue him and it was a mixed team of down worlders and shadow hunters as we see the alliances start to form in this episode, we see that Alec isn’t willing to risk his plans as it is because of Clary that a lot of this has happened.   But knows that he needs to get an advocate for his sister, and we see that the Clave has a lot to answer for in a lot of ways it seems to be very totalitarian
