Honestly, Cassie ought to send you an official Doctorate of Shadowhunterology certificate.

[@fiza3033]

i love this comment so much!

[@spencerd6126]

Christopher, who goes by kit, not to be confused with the character from the dark artifices named Christopher, but goes by kit

[@flyingninjamimejr]

Yeah i found that weird, is Kit a common nickname for Christopher? I always though Chris was the more common one

[@TheKawaiiSlartibartfast]

@@flyingninjamimejr it's been around for awhile. Christopher Marlowe went by Kit.

[@AwesomeSpyro]

One Christopher dies way before the other Christopher is even born, so I guess that counters the confusion Also they're from a diffferent series. But I agree that Cassie could have been a bit more creative with the names xD

[@fernandawritesstories2701]

ten bucks cassieclare did it on purpose and they're about to be interconnected in some way

[@AwesomeSpyro]

@@fernandawritesstories2701 From all we know about TDA Kit's heritage and how he stems from (spoilers) Tobias Herondale, I think its pretty much impossible for TLH Kit and TDA Kit to be interconnected in any way.

[@morganblanch6164]

If Magnus doesn’t meet early 1900s Alexander Lightwood and immediately hate his guts what was even the point?

[@user-cl6jp5vj1g]

YES OMG AND THEN LIKE THE CONTRAST TO NOW ALEXANDER LIGHTWOOD I NEED THIS TO HAPPEN

[@raikkonenss]

*character shares a name with kit Herondale and is a Lightwood* Me - ‘ah shit here we go again’

[@juliejustdance]

When she was talking about all the characters I was just sitting here trying to wrap my mind around everything. It’s so confusing even though I’ve read every shadowhunter book. A lot of them have the same names as other characters too so it’s just a lot.

[@davidbasurto2903]

Juliejustdance I know right!!! It gets so confusing and in my case I skimmed through most of the complementary novellas that are supposed to introduce us to this new set of characters

[@abigaillrodriguez6400]

Yess!! I tend to reread books and look at wiki pages cause all these family names get confusing. I already have bad memory as it is 😂😭

[@killlamas57]

She actually did a great job of breaking it down bc she went in order of siblings. We will have to read the book to fully understand.

[@masruratahsin8435]

SAME

[@macerryk7524]

@@abigaillrodriguez6400 same! 😭😂

[@lisa-3373]

For anybody who's still confused about the family relationships: Gideon Lightwood, Gabriel Lightwood and Tatiana Blackthorn (née Lightwood) are all siblings. So all of their children (Barbara, Euginia & Thomas Lightwood, Anna & Christopher Lightwood and Jesse and Grace Blackthorn) are cousins. Gabriel is married to Cecily Herondale, the sister of Will Herondale, so Anna and Christopher are also cousins with James and Lucie Herondale.

[@AwesomeSpyro]

If only there was a family tree which shows all the connections and relationships in a very simple way........................

[@merherondale5156]

Oh no. Christopher lightwood, called kit? This is gonna be so confusing 😂

[@fangirlforlife9745]

When she said that the giveaway was only for US residents, my heart broke!

[@merle-k]

What I realized throughout this video: I should just read all the other shadowhunter books again because I am so confused right now

[@avapaull3814]

How is Emma so brilliant at explaining what books and novellas are about?! I find it impossible to explain a book without slipping into a long lecture...😑

[@sarajuhar4902]

The Infernal Devices is one of my favorite series I read I can't wait for the sequel to be release

[@aadilamoolla4068]

Cassie also released 10 really short stories about the characters on her website leading up to the chain of gold release

[@graverobbersassistant]

When Emma makes The Shadowhunter chronicles-related video, you just have to drop everything and watch 💖

[@rikke4654]

"us residents only" me: surprised pikachu face

[@kennedyjames8680]

A year ago I was watching your video on how to read the Shadowhunter books. 15 books ish later and this is my first time reading a Clare book when it’s released. Thank you so much!!

[@mariekjanssen]

I loved this video I need to order Chain of Gold and Ghosts of the Shadowmarket RN. Even tho I have no money. hahaha. New Cassie content is just golden

[@malmalwan8925]

in Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy, on pg 189(paperback) Catarina says, “And I will explain how a demonic plague almost wiped out the Shadowhunters.” It doesn’t give anything away, but i thought it was cool how early Clare was planning everything.

[@bumblebeetarot]

I love Cassandra Claire her book have bring me do much joy. I can't wait to get my hands on it ❤️. Plus I love your videos on Shadowhunters!

[@205863729]

i know pretty much everything that you say in these kind of videos because i'm a massive fan of the shadowhunter world but i still LOVE to see them i cannot get enough of you talking about it 😍 i can't wait to read chain of gold to later watch a review from you!!! 💗

[@StarsAndEmbers]

I am so impressed you managed to convey all this information so concisely! I am so aboard the train of 'read all the books in publication order.' You get so much more about of the story!

[@miras849]

TIL that it's because of James Herondale, Jace has golden eyes. Also ANOTHER character named Kit? I can't!!!

[@booksteaandlove2135]

I'm so frickin' excited!!!!!

[@Bailey_93]

Way to excited for this release! I found shadow hunters during a really hard time and it has helped me so much💜 I can’t wait to have more of this amazing world to enjoy ❤️💕

[@jacobis1012]

This is the best break down of Chain of Gold I’ve watched so far 🙌🏻 Makes me excited to finally read it!!

[@chris_sophia13]

I was literally just about to go and try to do this research myself, you’re a lifesaver, Emma.

[@JimbeeTheFish]

I read the title and my heart exited my body. Oml I’m gonna make myself late for work because I’m fangirling too hard. Mint green is soooo pretty on you!!!!! (I’m biased tho because that is the superior color in the rainbow.)

[@stefaniastolz8830]

I just finished reading my copy and oh boy it's a long way till 2021 . I am already impatient!!!!

[@bookstack_fairy9182]

Super excited to read this now!! Thank you so much!! 😁

[@yesliruiz]

Ig: yes.ruiz TID was my favorite series, in the shadowhunter world. I cant wait to keep that story going with all my favorite characters kids. Ahhhhhh! I'm so so so excited!

[@nonamenoname9701]

I am so EXCITED! The cover is awesome

[@blujeangirl32]

I’m so ready!!! I actually took a vacation day next week just to read. ❤️❤️❤️

[@angelbunny101]

I had never read a shadow hunter book before. I started with Chain of Gold and I LOVED IT! Now I am reading Clockwork Angel.

[@trash9893]

Me at the beginning of this video: Yes. Tell me everything! Me at the end of this video: NO! WHERE ARE YOU GOING!! I NEED TO KNOW MORE!!! I'm so excited for this book.

[@greiwaren]

look at my shadowhunter girlie go !!! 💕

[@taylorpence2403]

Thanks so much for this video 😊 I love how you breakdown everything shadowhunter! My pre-order should be coming really soon, and I cannot contain my excitement 🤩🥰

[@SuhaR0310]

Hey Emma, I just wanted to tell you I appreciate your videos a lot and I really enjoy them but also your personality, you seem like a really fun and loving person to be around and I'm sure your friends are very lucky to know you! Keep up the good work!

[@nathanerickson8708]

Im so intrigued by the supposed “abilities” these characters are supposed to have?? I am not 100% sure if that is true but nevertheless, I am pretty excited to meet some new Herondales, Fairchilds, Lightwoods, and Carstairs!!

[@clementinekapoor438]

Warning-Spoilers!! Does anyone know what the significance of the bracelet is, the one that Grace gives James by the gates of the Blackthorn property? I remember when Grace confesses she dosen’t love James, she rips it free from his wrist, but then puts it back on when he is recovering from his injuries sustained during the battle with his demon grandfather. She apologizes when she does this, but I don’t understand why. Is the bracelet some sort of enchantment that possesses James? Is that why he can’t truly love Cordelia? If anyone has interpreted this scene differently, please leave comments. I just finished the book and need to know.

[@katrhinehart6188]

I think that the bracelet is what causes james to love grace. I think that the braclet is like a spell.

[@rainne2972]

The bracelet is an enchantment that makes James love Grace even though he really doesn't, that explains why he wasn't so affected with their break up because he wasn't wearing the bracelet anymore and he can feel his affection for Cordelia more clearly now. In the epilogue, Belial mentioned to Tatiana that James wasn't wearing it when he came to the shadow realm. With that, I think the bracelet makes James command whatever Belial/Grace (in that matter) wishes for him to do. Belial didn't succeed with his plans for James because the bracelet wasn't worn by him + Cordelia saved him.

[@manaswinisimhadrikavali1445]

as dome others have said it,the bracelet is the only reason that makes James think he loves Grace. This clouded his feelings for Cordelia.The reason James could kiss Cordelia so freely in The Whispering Room is that the bracelet was off,and he could think straight,about his feelings for Cordelia.

[@JanvanEs]

LOVING it so far! Around 12% done

[@nicolecollins5492]

I'm so freaking excited!! Currently still rereading tid I'm halfway through book two and it's just as amazing as i remembered!!!#

Cassie Clare kills off "two or more" characters within the first installment. I'm definitely not ready for this.
