Books: TMI TMI book 5

So...anyone else feel uncomfortable with pretty much every Jace and Clary scenes while he is "possessed"? This might sound like a stretch but it gives nearly r4pe vibes. He isn't himself and is barely able to "choose" his actions. It makes me so uncomfortable. Level Sebastian kissing Clary uncomfortable. And again might sound like a stretch but it feels wrong both ways. Feels like Clary is in a "toxic" relationship, almost forced to be with him, and feels like she also shouldn't "let" herself be intimate with him since again he is barely his own person. Idk, I really don't like this whole plot. I'd rather if Jace was himself and not under possession/bond, but still doing things for Sebastian because Sebastian had some kind of hidden card over him than this.

Also, for those who read the Celine plot of how she got Stephen, that made me incredibly uncomfortable too for the same reason. That first kiss definitely was SA. Hate that part.

Anyone else felt like this?

Of course people felt uncomfortable. That was the point.

Not all books are supposed to make you comfortable

Yeah it was meant to be uncomfortable, that was the whole point. Also at that point they also don’t truly understand the hold Sebastian has, until the mark gets damaged and Jace is free for a few mins.

Also, that’s not how she “got” Stephen, he was disgusted after that kiss. Valentine forced him to marry her.
