[@karolinakozmin1274]

So, about this whole "Matthew loves Cordelia 'storyline - while reading, I was going through Tumblr, I think, and stumbled upon a very interesting theory which I now accept as what must happen. Basically, it says that Matthew isn't REALLY in love with Cordelia but everything he feels for her is basically the manifestation of James' feelings for her that James couldn't feel cause stupid gracelet. So, basically, they were kind of manifested in Matthew's love for Cordelia through James and Matthew's parabatai bond and now, that the gracelet is broken and no more in control of James, Matthew will realize that he doesn't really love Cordelia. And let me just say - I will die if this doesn't happen. Because I feel like this 'two parabatai having feelings for the same person' plot was already used in the Infernal Devices and, tbh, don't want to see it again. Like - it was done perfectly in TID but that's enough. Also, this gives me hope that maybe Matthew doesn't die (?) and won't suffer because of James and Cordelia. Like it would make so much sense both story-wise and would be much better for him as a character. I just know that James and Cordelia are endgame and I don't want Matthew to suffer anymore, I want him to find happiness and I just don't see any other way for this to happen. (I really hope this was coherent

[@rebeccarhodes301]

"not reading for the plot" literally a mood, i forgot there was one

[@pauline2995]

To be honest, I think the ending could have been so much worse. Cordelia and Matthew are in Paris, yes, and that sucks, but I don't think Cordelia is going to fall in love with Matthew, because that would be so unrealistic and bad character development, given how much she loves James. It would only be a cheap "Tessa-Will-Jem" recycling, and I don't see how CC could do something coherent out of it. My predictions (and hopes) are that Matthew is going to enjoy his time with Cordelia, and realize that the reason he loves her, is because she's the only one that seems to really get how he feels, and therefore realize he's not really in love with her. Then maybe a big part of the story is going to take place in Paris, because James, Lucie and the others will be going to Paris. When they reunite, James is going to think that Cordelia is in love with Matthew (because at some point she told him that she had been in love with SOMEONE), so he's not going to tell her anything not to "force" her to stay with him because they're married. And then we will have our 2 dummies, in love with each other, but each of them thinking the other is in love with someone else. But that's UNTIL Cordelia gets hurt, or James gets hurt, and then they will admit their feelings to each other. I didn't mention the plot because honestly who gives a shit, but I thing they will manage something, they will succeed at breaking the oath Cordelia took and resurrect Jesse without everything going to shit and kill Belial for good. Also, Matthew is the big question. Maybe he's going to realize he's not in love with Cordelia and will fall in love with someone else (mundane), explaining why he's not on the family tree, or he's going to die to save James, or he will be happily married to another shadow hunter (and is just not mentioned in the family tree). I don't think he's going to die though, because of his drinking problem: CC is going to make him recover, and will address alcohol recovery as a life-long struggle, so she can't kill him right away. Anyway, I want him FAR FROM CORDELIA but I want him happy, and I think it's going to be a problem *cry*. I can't wait to come back here to see how wrong I was

[@anniehowell6266]

I hope so much that matthew doesn't die. The fact he's not on the tree and doesn't have another love interest apart from cordelia. I want him to be happy so badly as he doesn't love himself and is such a good person. I think to kill him without him finding true happiness would be too tragic but why this gut feeling of matthew not making it 😐

[@saramlambo6447]

I agree with your predictions but I also believe that Grace will be the reason Cordelia realises that James is in love with her . I’ve seen this happen is Sooooo many books especially YA . Also it will be a sort of redeeming arc for Grace or whatever .

They literally left him without letting him explain and math and James are parabati. Matthew’s confession broke me. Poor Jamie deserves the world after all the pain he’s been through. Cassie barely allowed us to enjoy thomastair before breaking them up. Lucie amd Jesse are the cutest. Let’s also talk about Christopher and Grace because honestly I always liked Grace’s character and I believe that kit is the cutest.

THIS BOOK BROKE ME - can i please hibernate for a year??

[@anweshachatterjee3941]

Hey Hannah! Just finished reading "Chain of Thorns" and eagerly waiting for a reading vlog of the same😭💘

[@rosaliebarvik1960]

I read most of this book on a plane, and the guy sitting next to me kept casting me very concerned looks😂

[@chelseafoster7260]

It's so fun watching this having just finished Chain of Iron and knowing that all of your predictions are spot on LOL

[@malublue1013]

honestly this book didn’t put me in a reading slump, it put me in a freaking DEPRESSION. Literally its been a week since i finished it and i still think about it 24/7 and cry about it daily

[@averagejoereads7271]

"Matthew I love you, but please don't be a car guy" AHHHH ME AF

[@kristen_vogel]

[Spoiler warning for anyone who hasn’t read The Infernal Devices] I literally never root for the main guy in a “love triangle” dynamic. I usually always go with the underdog guy. Like with Tessa, I wanted her to be with Jem soooooo bad because Jem is my absolute fav from that series and he deserves the absolute universe. Like I like Will as a character. And good for him for being with Tessa at the end but... no Jem is the best 😂 HOWEVER. If James doesn’t end up with Cordelia😠 like I love Matthew...... but I couldn’t care less about a Matthew Cordelia story. James and Cordelia is one of the first times I’ve ever wanted the 2 main characters be together 😂😂

[@hibaomair3160]

lol same. i didn't care for them in the first book, but chain of iron decided it for me.

[@kristen_vogel]

@@hibaomair3160 I just saw this but yes 👏🏻 I was not convinced by James in Chain of Gold but oooooooo Chain of Iron was 😩😩😩😩 he’s such a tragic character and he just deserves SO MUCH MORE

[@lyannastarkweather]

Did I revisit this vlog for the express reason of recapping Chain of Iron to prepare to read Chain of Thorns? You bet I did! The emotional turmoil!

[@ariatwebb5205]

What I love is how both Emma and Cordelia were always described as smelling of rose water. It's the Carstairs signature scent.

[@libby1353]

I just read it and its so sad at the end. Mathew and Cordelia go to Paris just after Grace's spell on James and finally realises. But no matter what I LOVE THIS BOOK. And I LOVED when Jem played the violin at James's wedding.

[@gabrielleloeman45]

I can't even begin to articulate my emotions over CoI. Like watching you read the last chapter, was literally like watching me react all over again, and all it did was stir up the emotions that i had safely compartmentalized and was ready to ignore until Chain of Thorns comes out!! "I've never wanted to see Will Herondale less in my entire life" -Hannah Azerang is a quote that will live in my head for the next year honestly. Just watching you scream/cry throughout this book was so relatable! I've been reading Cassies books since 2009 and I feel the exact same way you do because these books have also defined and shaped my life as a reader and just as an adult human in general!!

[@homairasultana9034]

It's been days since I read it and I still haven't recovered.I know Jordelia's most likely to be endgame but I kinda like Cordelia with Matthew too.And after all he's been through,I don't want Matthew to suffer anymore.Chain of thorns is going to be devastating.😭❤

[@SYeter]

If Mathew is unhappy I will never forgive Cassie

[@mariama1735]

i ship Matthew and sobriety

[@samankhalid1279]

maybe he will find someone else, cuz if cordelia loves james, she will never be matthew's and that will just torture him even more

[@chanelletime]

I havent read a single cassie book I just came to leave a comment 😭❤️

ily 😭💖

[@nune-lt4sp]

The end of this book made me so mad, I couldn't even read the final few pages without taking several hours long break to fume in silence. I ship herondaisy so much and this whole love triangle situation made me want to scream omg I hate it. P.S. this vlog was such a mood I loved it so much lol

“I can’t do this I’m trying to make lunch” me every time I get a panic attack

when you said that you only care about james and cordelia, I really felt that. the plot is the extras and they are the main event.

[@moonchildslay]

you lowkey look like cordelia with raven hair 💙

"According to that family tree... that we cannot trust." Yup, that's my feelings in a nutshell.

[@sweetnightwithyou1865]

i finished chain of iron 4 days ago and i still cant stop thinking about jordelia :'(

[@aminaabdi9092]

Hannah having a breakdown on page 3 was me reading this book

[@vihansamiranda7987]

All I have to say is that chain of thorns better have fucking 1000 pages, so many things were left undone and I thought at least one couple will be happy but noooooo cassie just wants to torture us (I still love her tho) and cordelia better not lead Matthew on and Matthew better not try something while knowing that SHE'S IN LOVE WITH HIS FUCKING BEST FRIEND. And I feel like Matthew doesn't have legit feelings for cordelia BECAUSE Anna said something abt him and hopeless love sooo idk. And Lucie idk wat to say abt her I'm worried and alot of people are saying she and Jessie are going to be evils I mean that would be fun but I don't want to see the pain of everyone else if this were to happen but um yeahhh...... Love the vlog btw I've been waiting for this vid for Days!!! I mean after reading it I needed to see what other people think about it and I read it the day after it came out and not alot of reviews anyway love you thank youuuu for thiss❤❤❤❤ And right now I'm literally re reading tda Why grace why just why

[@madofbooks3288]

[@SharonVictoria90]

i waited to read this book until chain of thorns was out because i know how cassie gets in second books. i knew we were in for a world of pain. i reacted to this book so similarly, lots of ugh’s, oh no’s and oh my god’s. i’m so scared of the last one..
