From the prologue the audience think that they can predict what is going to happen however they are mistaken as the author puts in a huge twist at the end. Obviously, normal children would never be allowed to touch knives never mind be encouraged to throw them, clearly demonstrating that these characters will not be ordinary. Also, they highlight that this won't be any ordinary book: "He turned, took aim, and let the knife fly." This quote describes a twelve year old boy being allowed to practice throwing knives. The first impressions of the book suggest that there will be quite a lot of drama as a little girl is in agony (we later find out that she died) and a boy has only a few years to live. From Chapter 1 onwards, the book stays set in London until half way through where a main character travels to Wales. This immediately draws in the audience to find out how they are linked and what their significance is. The two sections are not linked until three quarters of the way through the book. The book opens with the prologue set in York in 1847 which then jumps to London 1873. Will and Jem, the boys who lay equal claim to her heart, will do anything to save her. He needs only one last thing to complete his plan - Tessa. Mortmain plans to destroy the Shadowhunters. ![]()
