I also adored that Will and James had written in all the library’s books because of course they would.

[@lydiablazey9587]

Christine I'm not sure if you noticed this heartbreaking detail, but when Livvy and Kit are talking about the clock she tells him about this tale that every time the clock chimes the hour the gates of heaven open and then the book ends with "the golden clock began to chime the hour" UGH I'M CRYING LIVVY JUST AH

[@teatimewitht6937]

Leonialeo Umbridge still takes the cake for me

[@teatimewitht6937]

But Zara is quite close

[@helenlihoudis4822]

Leonialeo when she started shading Jace, Clary and Magnus i lost it

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

OMG I FORGOT TO COMMENT ON THAT CLARY VS KIT FIGHTING THING XD Lmao but like for Kit I'm imagining him fighting all sloppy and clumsy, just getting lucky that he's not dying and with Clary she was like BAM WATCH ME BE NATURALLY JUST AS GOOD AS YOU AND NOT NEED TRAINING XD

[@anac.camacho1609]

emmmabooks I SO hope the Ragnor thing turns out to be true. I isn't all that likely, but I would love it💜 Also, I had forgotten that the next Cassie Clare book will be a The Last Hours one, I can't wait for that series to begin!!

[@readingjoelle2735]

emmmabooks that green guy, wan't he called Shade, and was that not the am of Mortmains parents?

[@readingjoelle2735]

emmmabooks that green guy, wasn't he called Shade, and was that not the am of Mortmains parents?

[@ammawanders8980]

Livvy's death was devastating. I cried so much, and Julian was holding her begging her to wake up and oh my god, I can't deal with this....

[@thissickbook8968]

Page 36-37 "Sebastian Morgenstern left a weapon with one of the Courts of Faerie. A weapon that could destroy us all, destroy all Nephilim." Could it be Sebastian's demon spawn with the Seelie Queen? #FreakingOut Page 270 "Her dress looked as if it had been made for her in a time before she had been so starved..." OMFG was she pregnant? Page 561 "There was also a boy in the room." "His hair was white-blond, the color of witchlight." "His green eyes burned." OMFG OMFG OMFG

[@monsouranda2822]

Or maybe just a weapon. He did manage to have a custom version of the mortal cup and there's the angle wings he deliver. Maybe there's something in there worth nitpicking

[@srishtikhullar6478]

SAME

[@phosphoros3050]

She could always look that way (& her courtroom as well) due to concern over her son's captivity in the Unseelie Court. Christina even mentions that the Seelie Throneroom's appearance & state reflect the mood/state of the monarch. It's implied between the Seelie Queen mentioning that she wants the Black Book to retrieve a Seelie Court member very dear/important to her from the Unseelie Court, & the Seelie Prince's asking if his mother sent Drusilla that they have a caring relationship. Well, at least one in which the Seelie Queen (and by extension her mood throne room) might seem very off if her child was in the custody of her monarchical rival.

[@lily.skylar]

NO ASH IS THE SEELIE QUEEN'S AND SEB'S BABY. HE IS THE WEAPON AND THE QUEEN WANTS HIM BACK. IM CALLING IT NOW

[@cindy9855]

wait, who's Ash again?

[@cadencemarsolek3890]

Classic Christine. Book talks a book the day after it comes out. Much love

[@JC-uj1rd]

*spoilers* Can we just talk about how Livvy didn't want to kiss Kit again because she knew he was supposed to be with Ty 😭😭😭 Also we have to wait TWO MORE YEARS?!??!!!!????!!?!

[@bellab5680]

RIGHT

[@deb5392]

Spoiler I don't think Annabelle had a plan to kill anyone. She's mentally unstable, and the tension in that room just reached breaking point for her. The King found a way to kidnap her because she'd threatened to reveal his true name.

[@lyrafoxx7397]

Agree, at the end of the book, you could clearly see she regretted what she had done before she was whisked away...

[@holleay964]

I agree with that, too. What she did was awful, but she was definitely unstable and I really don't think it was intentional.

[@AcceberSk]

Deborah Adams I think she did it because of the parabatai curse. A magical compulsion for chaos

[@sapnareji]

But still even if you were mentally unstable u would think oh ! That is my family Member I don’t want to ever hurt them and she hurts livvy in the right place in which she is officially gone🤧🤧🤧🤧😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😩☹️😢😢

[@sapnareji]

Holleay Sevin but why in the heart ?

[@elizabethmusial1508]

YOU GUYS YOU GUYS YOU GUYS THE WARLOCK IN THE SHADOWMARKET ISN'T RAGNOR!!! IT'S JOHN SHADE!!!!! MORTMAINS DAD!!! his last name was shade and he had green skin. we know because mortmain forced Tessa to change into him in clockwork princess. so maybe he actually is dead and that was Tessa they were talking to. but green skin and the name shade is definitely mortmains dad!!!!!

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

OH MAN I FORGOT ABOUT HIM AHHHHHHH!

[@diptisolanki6529]

Elizabeth Musial OMG THATS WHAT I THOUGHT!!!!!

[@marathesayu]

Elizabeth Musial HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THOUGH JOHN SHADE IS DEAD

[@Likaye-b9t]

Sayali Marathe is anyone ever really dead in this series? Lol

[@selenaliu9676]

I don't actually think it's Tessa; remember how when she Changed into him, she didn't have any control over herself? And he acted like he knew Hypatia Vex, which means Tessa would have Changed into him many times before that and taken part in the Shadow Market. I think it's actually the real John Shade. Hypatia Vex (I think it was her) said herself not to count on anyone being dead, especially if they were a warlock. There's also the slight possibility that it isn't John Shade (or anyone impersonating him) at all. He tells Kit, Ty, and Livvy that Shade isn't his last name. (Obviously, he could be lying. But who knows??)

[@Rosevieenla]

My real question is how Cassie makes me ship characters I know next to nothing about. Like I already love Jesse and Lucie and I know nothing about them but when it said the initials that were carved in the London institute we LH + JB I was like damn that's cute

[@sf6242]

Sore Wa Chigau Zo YES!

[@reevenflow]

Who is Jessie?

[@reevenflow]

rycbar123 another blackthorn?

[@reevenflow]

ah cool, thanks!

[@reevenflow]

ah cool, thanks!

[@MT-lk7qt]

That last chapter... Cassie Clare KNOWS how to do second books. She KNOWS how to keep us hanging. AND WE HAVE TO WAIT TWO EFFING YEARS FOR QUEEN OF AIR AND DARKNESS. HOW WILL WE LIVE

[@jigeummybear]

IT'S CLOCKWORK PRINCE ALL OVER AGAIN.

[@djs960]

It’s here!

[@jananiananthanarayanan4794]

SPOILER ALERT Ty is gonna be blaming himself for what happened in the end. He wrote that letter to the person that killed who was killed :''|

[@dochaluvr]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@lyrafoxx7397]

Goddammit

[@jo22k]

I thought about that too but then if he hadn't called her they would of been dead anyway in the battle outside the institute when she intervened at the right time

[@isasmedberg1117]

Janani Ananthanarayanan I THOUGHT THE SAME THING AND IM SO SAD FOR TY HES GONNA HAVE SUCH A BREAKDOWN

[@springdayisnottoday371]

AND TAVY WOULDNT REMEMBER HER. FFUUUUUU

[@Kazatron10000]

Wait did you say kit and ty were gonna be... parabatai... I'm v sure they gonna be in a very not platonic relationship

[@carrietulip]

i hope not i rlly ship them

[@caitb233]

Kassi Savage agreed it's pretty obvious kit especially likes ty more than a friend

[@dochka]

ye because i think ty and livvy were gonna be parabatai so now...i doubt ty wld want to be parabatai with kit after everything

[@maryb5933]

I really hope that they get together

[@angelaperez6994]

I actually think that kit should not be with ty... Look I love Kitty but since kit is a Herondale, and Herondales are like endangered, Kit should have a n offspring:( I don't want Herondales to get extinct😭😭

[@lyrafoxx7397]

*Faerie Time Explained:* "It's more of a big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff..."

[@tahirarajwani]

Am I the only one who feels kinda stupid after watching Christine's videos for not noticing all the details she does and not coming up with these theories 😅

[@zaina303]

Book Queen i totally agree, oops!

[@jadenvasquez-smith1257]

Book Queen same! It also made me remember a lot of things from the other books that I've totally forgotten about cuz I have read them in quite a while

[@tahirarajwani]

HOW DO WE MISS ALL THIS!?

[@mayaatkins8051]

Dude sometime sometimes I skip details which led me to never even knowing Diana was trans orthat Dru fell into fairie despite reading the book. I’m way more stupid.

[@HugoPerezNeto]

“Are you a Shadowhunter?” Dru raised her chin and stared back at him. “Who are you?” she demanded. “And why are you so rude?” To her surprise, he smiled, and there was something familiar about it. “I’m called Ash,” he said. “Did my mother send you?” He sounded hopeful. “Is she worried about me?” A familiar smile. He's wearing a band of metal in his head. He mentions his mother. He was wearing rich clothing and leather boots. I only have 3 words. EVIL. SEBASTIAN. BABY. And Julian as definitely shady AF and I'm scared of what he will do with the photos he took of the Black Volume while Annabelle was talking, completely oblivious to the existence of cameras and cellphones. I absolutely LOVE your reviews!! I'm eagerly waiting for a QOAD Crackpot Theories Video

[@cookieblue20]

HugoPerezNeto at first I thought it was Diana's kid that she may have had with a faerie and that's why she couldn't run the institute because they'd find out about him but then we learned about her real reason and I was oh... Sebastian offspring question mark??

[@ria7330]

gabriela garcia ohhh

[@athenanguyen9455]

This book is so reflective of Trump's America. The registry for downworlders now this book=similar to the registry trump wants for Muslims. Dearborns say they are representing the silent majority=trump supporters call themselves the silent majority. Etc. etc.

[@meredith4646]

AthenaNguyen13 I was thinking the same thing! There's another line near the end too- I don't remember who said it, but they call the Cohort fascists

[@kathham9342]

It was Emma who called the Cohort/Centurions fascist

[@athenanguyen9455]

There's so many references that Cassie Clare is a genius at weaving in

[@suupeergoomii2]

I thought about this too!!

[@sergiovela7686]

I think these books are actually very political since TMI, but now we can see more relations with the present

[@nicolelovingmakeup]

I started crying so hard when juilian broke down and started begging Livvy to wake up. Saying sweetie, baby, I could not stop crying for 10 minutes

[@niakarahara]

I really hope what Livvy said to Kit was true about the golden clock and its legend: that Haeven opens since Julian is wishing for his sister to come back and I am gonna do the distructive stupid human thing and hope that death is indeed not final and because she was struck with the broken part of the MORTAL sword which was oozing balck stuff it has some deeper meaning

[@banagirl36]

Omg I hope that is true too, I was so devastated for Livvy T_T

[@holleay964]

Ohhh I hope so!!

[@alicruz5717]

niakarahara YOU READ MY FRICKIN MINDDD

[@agusmartinmica]

what i understood is thar the doors of heaven opened to receive Livvy

[@joshajburton]

I actually died reading the last line when it said the clock was chiming the hour because Livvy had said a couple pages before that when the clock chimes the gates to heaven open!

[@the_rising_tiger8164]

Josh Burton ikr the foreshadowing. I was like it's so sad. I'm glad someone else noticed.

[@madisonswordfishii8160]

i highly doubt Kit and Ty will become parabatai.. Besides, I don't feel like another parabatai-falling-in-love story...

[@jigeummybear]

And I don't think Ty would like that because Livvy wanted to be his parabatai for so long. He will feel like betraying his sister that way...

[@melanielinzbach]

Every Cassandra Clare book I feel like I finish and then just sit there like "hngggggg, what the hell?!?!??" Then proceed spend 4 hours pacing around like "what the eff what tHE EFF WHAT THE EFF?!?!?!" So many things happened and it was glorious.

[@melanielinzbach]

Also the end was a thing! AND IT BROKE MY HEART!!!!

[@fknkrs9363]

Melanie Linzbach OMG SO ME 😂😂😭

[@rae-annb6486]

I cried real tears. I actually mourned for a couple days. My lectures were concerned.

[@MSTechie]

Melanie Linzbach Same!!!

[@zoekate9943]

Y'all... what if Julian loses it and tries to use the Black Book to bring Livvy back? He's said over and over again he would do anything for his family...

[@ravenclaw3041]

Zoe Lala Julian is Malcom 2.0

[@sapnareji]

But considering what Julian’s been through I don’t think he can manage loosing another family member. in lady midnight he just got mark back but tabby was almost killed in the same book . In lord of shadows his uncle,the inquisitor and livvy his own little sister was killed by Annable

[@queenielynnn]

Yes i totally agree with you.

[@nasimarokeya4542]

He has to kill another blackthorn for that so no

[@wronga123]

but what if the seelie queen wants the book to raise sebastian

[@avakitzi8740]

Wait I didn't even think of that ahhh

[@avakitzi8740]

+rycbar123 and then that would mean that mean the seelie queen needs Fairchild blood to raise him, and Clary and Jocelyn would be the only two????!!!!!!!

[@amandamccomb2137]

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no! Sebastian needs to stay dead. But if he does come back, the evil part of him is gone, right? Because Clary destroyed that when she stabbed him. So if he comes back, would his evilness come back? Or would he be good? Also I hope Clary doesn't die. Jace and her finally have happiness! Sebastian needs to STAY DEAD lol.

[@kingkags3604]

Amanda McComb Yes, I thought so too. When Clary killed Sebastian, his eyes turned back to green which means all the demonic stuff has vanished from his soul right?

[@jaynemclaren5160]

Is it bad that I sort of liked Sebastian's character but also hated him for who he killed

[@bellaclark379]

Tavvy doesn't know about Livvy right? That's so sad and my heart is broken

[@lyrafoxx7397]

Well shit

[@banagirl36]

Me too... my book now has tear stains in it T_T

[@laurenpenzer5796]

Bella Clark hold on a second their Satan we can't handle all these feelings

[@Feyazzz]

Julian telling Emma that you can hurt someone without touching them, I actually thoughy he was talking about Emma breaking his heart what obviously hurts him more than propably physical pain could. Am I the only one who understood it like this?

[@reziahangelicafamorcan4880]

Sofeya yes!

[@angelicwaurla5721]

im so glad you mentioned robert having that tapestry of alec cause i almost cried when i read that and i havent seen anyone else mention it it made his death hurt me so much more that it would have if we hadnt have seen that

[@mikaylapacheco3021]

Last time I was this early to something, Phillip Hamilton was still alive.

[@cealls]

Ariel in Wonderland only 200+ years ago

[@theannaliviams]

Im so afraid about what might happen to Clary. and who Kit's mother is and why the riders were so interested in him

[@eefr3081]

My favourite parts in this book were definitely the parts with Kit, Ty and Livvy. They just fit together so well and they had some really funny scenes and I love their dynamic WHY DID LIVVY DIE KEBAKAVSJ

[@LisaJonasd]

I died when Kieran said "You all have to sleep with Magnus Bane? How exciting for you." Best line in the book!!!

[@n_mcg]

**my reaction from the end** HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK HOW WHAT HILY FUCKING SHIT

[@Sloonstarius]

Most of my laugh out loud cackling was due to Mark. Also possible Lightwood motto: “the more sexually charismatic of the bunch."

[@arielinwonderland2509]

Sloonstarius Isn't Bridget just the greatest? XD

[@Sunny-bc2mu]

I have never relate to Bridget so much before

[@banagirl36]

What if Livvy becomes a ghost like Jessamine and protects the Blackthorns?

[@gabriellavanegas980]

Harvard wants to know your location

[@Novody1234]

OMG...DONT GIVE ME HOPE😭

[@macklynneb]

I unapologetically love Julian. Easily my favorite Shadowhunter character. He's just very complicated.

[@5LikeThat]

SAME

[@bellab5680]

YES

[@rowanx0325]

Julian Blackthorn fan club ayo

[@jennaa4738]

Exactly

[@meex2434]

I have a feeling that Julian might be an anti-hero because of what happened to Livvy and Emma might be the only one to help Jules to overcome it. or Julian MIGHT TRY TO RESURRECT LIVVY AND HE WILL BECAME MALCOLM THE SECOND 😱 where he'll use his blood for the ritual. BUT NO. I HOPE NOT.

[@thegecko1742]

Mickaella Joyce Dumayag it's the parabati bond, because notice he's been getting progressively darker and darker... which is exactly how the curse works.

[@jigeummybear]

It's possible he would attempt to do it. It could be one of their dilemmas in the last book.

[@meex2434]

I hope no more deaths to come! >.< well except those in cohort specially those Dearborns

[@allykat5899]

Mickaella Joyce Dumayag what if Emma has to kill Julian that would tear my heart out That would break Emma too.

[@allykat5899]

Mickaella Joyce Dumayag imagine it parabatai vs parabatai to the death

[@emilykate0835]

I choose to believe that Christine is wearing white in mourning for those last few pages

[@duaghori102]

There was this one thing that in the first book when Livvy was saying to ty to become parabatai and gave the example of Jem and Will and how Will put his hands in fire to save last of the drug. Then ty replied with an example of Watson and Sherlock how they cared for each other without being parabatai and how Watson took a gunshot for Sherlock. Then in the lord of shadows ty asked kit to be his partner in solving mysteries and kit said that the reason ty was sleeping outside his door was because ty wanted a Watson to his Sherlock which then later on resulted to be so. It made me think that maybe ty and kit would decide to be parabatai in the next book.

[@elaineh9112]

*spoiler* I was screaming for them to get Zara and to give her the mortal sword and ask her did she kill Malcolm then the cohort couldn't say the sword didn't work on Annabelle cause she was "tainted"

[@oneinamillion2062]

Elaine H I WAS SCREAMING FOR ZARA TO BE PUT ON TRIAL AND BE EXPOSED

[@okelise]

EXACTLY

[@sydneywilson4748]

Was I the only one who wanted Sebastian's kid to be a girl and for the 3rd book to be like 2,000 pages long

[@margotsiobhan]

My theory is (!!LoS Spoilers!!) I think that Julian kills Annabel to bring back Livvy.. I stick to that hope like crazy. It was so sad for Ty because in the book was a line where it said that Ty was ready to become Parabatai with Livvy 😰😰😰.. So scared for everything and everyone 😱😳😱😵 I also realized that Clary is the aunt of Ash (Seelie Queen& Sebastian child) if that is true, which I'm pretty sure.. Love this video 😘

[@sammydavidson9811]

This theory would make me so happy! I need Livvy to come back 😢

[@camillecastro266]

I understand your point about Julian, and I agree about him being a little dark, but I wouldn't necessarily say that he's "slightly evil." I mean, the kid has been in charge of his family since he was 12. He had no choice but to kill his dad (sort of) when he was young. I think that his decision about Arthur was completely motivated by his new responsibility to his siblings and his refusal to lose the Institute. I agree about Julian being the real Lord of Shadows though. I think it's impossible for Julian's history to be what it is and NOT have him grow up with a bit of hurt and shadow in him. I don't think he's "evil" in the slightest though

[@謝慈恩-c8t]

I agree with your thoughts.

[@5LikeThat]

AGREE!

[@Sad.Purple.unicorn]

I love the relationship between Kier,Mark and Cristina🖤🖤🖤

ahhhhh your booktalks are amazing and i love when you act out/imitate characters it's perfect and !!!! 2 YEARS THE WAITING WILL BE DEATH IT'S LIKE THE CLOCKWORK PRINCE MOURNING PERIOD CRIES also - in TLH do u think tatiana blackthorn used the black volume bc she asked magnus for his help with dark magic stuff and then the whole thing with jesse blackthorn i thought he died but obviously he didnt (or he came back to life) since hes on the family tree so do you think tatiana used the black volume to bring him back to life or to stop him from dying and does that also have to do with why the blackthorns have the black volume? but also annabel would've come before them and the blackthorns already had the black volume but AHH i hope you create a crackpot theories for tlh ALSO YOUR SEBASTIAN-SEELIE QUEEN EVIL BABY CHILD THEORY OMG I REALLY HOPE IT'S TRUE I FEEL LIKE IT IS also i took like 2 hours to watch this video because i paused to take notes like every 10 seconds bc your review made me realize so many things but also does diana suddenly have a tattoo on her face that i did not realize until now did i just miss something? but the ENDING WAITING FOR BOOK 3 WILL BE TORTURE

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

oh my god I HAVE TO GO REREAD THAT BANE CHRONICLES STORY!! // and wait, i vaguely remember the Diana tattoo mention but I wasn't paying close enough attention to it so i don't know! Good catch! AHH I KNOW I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE LAST HOURS THOUGH AND THAT'S COMING FIRST

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

ALSO THANK YOU

[@hermioneherondale8972]

thanks for replying to me!! :)

[@Cathrin1801]

When Diana first shows up in City of Heavenly Fire, Clary notices the tattoo.

[@hermioneherondale8972]

Oh haha I didn't notice! I was so surprised in this book bc there was a huge fish tattoo right on her face and I hadn't imagined her that way at all. This might be a stretch, but maybe the fish dying was symbolic of Diana dying, not Magnus? Though there were a lot of other little things that seemed to be foreshadowing Magnus's death ahhh I'm so scared I really don't want more ppl to die especially not Magnus

[@carrietulip]

aaa love this, I just finished Lord of Shadows yesterday, but there was one thing you said, Kit and Ty being Parabatai? I know it was hinted at at the start but Kit's feelings for Ty have definitely evolved/grown from there, and there are many things that I think hint at them having a not very Parabatai like relationship if you catch my drift. Like that wasn't a very platonic hug for me. For instance, the whole thing about Kit feeling not comfortable with kissing Livvy again and having intense feelings for Ty. I also cannot forget to mention Kit wanting to wrap his arms around Ty again. Idk maybe just wishful thinking though. Great booktalk!!!!

[@caitb233]

Ella !!! AGREED I think Kit especially feels strongly toward ty more than a friend and clearly finds him attractive

[@eely16]

Ella !!! Cassie said that then being parabatai would not be a very good idea, haha

[@carrietulip]

eely oh thank god haha

[@domreads6115]

But surely, though, that's the whole reason why they might become parabatai! Because it's evidently such a bad idea -- they're clearly headed for a romantic relationship, not a platonic one. Although subtext at the moment, we know, however, that this will not be canonical anytime soon (as this is clearly what TWP is going to centre around); but it's Kit and Ty's lack of self-knowledge/self-awareness (especially with Ty) about their own feelings that will lead them into a very misguided parabatai relationship. And hence history repeats itself! Given, also, all these hints about how well they work together as a team (Sherlock & Watson analogies), and that Livvy has died, I think Ty is going to want to someone to cling onto even more (perhaps even be as close to as he was with Livvy?) I would be surprised if it didn't happen.

[@carrietulip]

DomReads Yes, I was also thinking that, honestly we know that Ty will be clueless about his feelings probably but we've already seen how Kit can be. He's literally like hmmm what should I call this intense feeling that makes me want to kill anyone who hurts Ty? What should I call this feeling that makes me want to wrap my arms around him? I know friendship!!!1! Honestly it could be Jules and Emma all over again. However I doubt Ty would want to be Kit's parabati because he was already feeling guilty for not being Livvy's parabati when she was injured, I think he would feel as if he were betraying her by becoming Kits parabati, but I still think Ty will cling to him none the less. Who knows though, Ty might feel like Kit will go the same way as Livvy if he doesn't have a Parabati?

[@ryanmarina3959]

I cried a river reading Ty's letter to Annabel. I love Ty so muchhh

[@beccawilliamson5896]

Mannon's Seven reminded me of Manon's Thirteen. Anyone else?

[@starfirenonie]

Becca Williamson DUDE SAMEEEEE

[@lianpage1805]

I want Isabelle and Simon to take over the LA institute (maybe more so Isabelle since Simon is a Recruiter) since the Clave kind of owes them a few favours and they have to be more popular than Horace Dearborn. Also, why weren't Sizzy at that meeting?! CC has said that they play a significant role in Queen of Air and Darkness, so what was so important that they missed the meeting that was supposed to determine the fate of Downworlders (which Simon used to be!)?

[@freyasimmons]

I'm in denial over Livvys death cus she is my second favourite blackthorn after ty. I know Julian would do anything for his family so what if in the last book he goes out on some mission to find and kill Annabel so he can raise livvy. I know it's far fetched but a girl can fucking dream. I loved livvy so much

[@Adriology]

Okay so on the Livvy front. The parabatai bond between Emma and Jules is really strong right now. Do you think they could use it to help Livvy and then that be what triggers the curse? Like I feel like we can't leave it like that right?

[@bookbabbles4934]

did anyone else see Cassie's tweet about four character's dying? we got two character deaths within the first half of the book, and then everything was good and fine. then in the last five pages like PLEASE STOP

[@elizagrace3684]

Is anyone else still holding on to the amd thinking maybe livvy isnt dead?.. and I ship Ty and Kit so so so so much omg!!!!!

[@saniyap.2615]

THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING... And completely destroyed me

[@victoriacecilia6980]

I just want ti put Ty in a blanket and watch Sherlock with him and cry

[@swimminginbooks3414]

I'm so worried about Ty. He's so precious and I don't know how he is going to handle Livvy's death:'(

[@sarahfaulkner2282]

Shadowhunters have a healing rune. Julian and Emma have special parabatai powers that let them make incredibly powerful runes not just on each other but on random stuff/buildings too. REMIND ME AGAIN why Livvy has to be dead?!?

[@alana2924]

why is no one talking about bridget still being alive ?

[@kellyffiestas]

Alana Vidal lol I know right? Will Cassie ever address this? Maybe we will find out how in The Last Hours. Also the scene when Dru asks her for a plate of scones! Aaahh! So funny!

[@stacymacdonahue2621]

Sweetheart, your energy and your humor over this story give me life!!

[@haennybeee487]

I loved it when Diana told Gwynn to loose the helmet. Funniest scene next to the family motto scene xD

[@throneofpages]

Literally whenever I finish a Cassie Clare book I IMMEDIATELY come to your channel to watch your book review 😍😍😍 you never disappoint, this review was amazing!

[@inlieuofbianca8279]

Ty and Ki- anyone? anyone else??? I ship it, but i can also see a parabatai thing...maybe, when time passes- cause yall we need to heal! Also, mark x christina x kieran ???? not sure whats going on there - this book was amazingly too much- Cassie does it again omgggg

[@livid.7571]

In Lieu of Bianca YESSS! I am such a kitty shipper and gosh i am so darn scared that cassie is gonna make kit and ty become parabatai and then we're gonna have the jemma cycle all over again😂

[@vidhidev5900]

you don't need to be worried about that! cassie answered a question asking that and she basically said it wouldn't be a good idea.

[@AroobCrystal]

I cried so hard during the end. Cassandra might as well have Emma drive Cortana through my heart than write that scene😭

[@theatrenerdsunite1254]

CHRISTINE CHRISTINE THIS IS IMPORTANT! The Seelie queen wants the Black Volume because she wants to raise Sebastian/Jonathan back from the dead. Remember how in Lord Of Shadows Malcom needed Blackthorn blood to raise Annabelle? The Seelie Queen needs Fairchild blood to raise Sebastian. That's why Clary thinks she's going to die soon. ALSOOO Ash is 13 because I think it must be that time slows down in the Seelie realms but speeds up in the Un-Seelie realms MAYBE

[@Rosevieenla]

Julian is straight up borderline Sociopathic. Not using the term as a buzzword either like he's actually a borderline sociopath with the way he acts

[@cestmoi914]

R.L B not really sociopathic at all but yeah there’s definitely something off there

[@booklovers123library4]

I was half laughing and half crying the whole time

[@xavierramirez4465]

I JUST FINISHED I AM SOBBING I DONT WANT TO SPOIL BUT ALL I AM SAYING IS THAT I AM SOBBING AND I DONT NORMALLY CRY DURING BOOKS SOOOOOOO

[@georgiaellis9360]

[@FiMilton]

Queen of Air and Darkness crackpot theories?? 🖤🖤🖤

[@nishyghoorbin]

the Sebastian faerie child thing literally just hit me omg. I love you your srine

[@gabrielanadeau1272]

Julian kind of reminds me of Percy in the way that he'll do anything for his family and has a lot of hidden darkness. But damn, this book though...

[@gabrielanadeau1272]

Julia Arnold yeah Percy is definitely more sassy! I think Percy is going to be in the next Magnus Chase book if Annabeth is going to introduce him to Magnus & will probably return in the Apollo series, just not as a main character. He's probably too tired to do much more questing! Haha

[@kaylawallace14]

OK OK OK SO MY SISTER CAME UP W A THEORY ABT THE CHILD: bc they've never said anything abt time going faster in faerie, we don't think it's sebastian's child. what her theory is that it isn't the child of the seelie queen and sebastian. she thinks that it actually is sebastian. that the queen saved the good in seb and used magic to save him so we think seb is actually still alive

[@MARICELA3066]

Kayla Wallace naa i don't think so cus he's wearing a crown and say something about his mother

[@pale_emo_princess]

when I first read this book (I just finished a re-read) I was listening to it via audiobook while driving and I did not see Livvy's death coming at all...as a matter of fact I was so shocked that I violently gasped and slammed on the breaks of my car 👀 thankfully I was in an empty parking lot- but ya I was completely caught off guard 😭

[@Caraphatash]

Jaime's name is pronounced Hi-me not like Jamie

[@jazebelleash6084]

Lol wait really?

[@Caraphatash]

It's a Spanish name. It's not even spelt Jamie?

[@WithinPremises]

Understandable mistake, someone with no knowledge of it being a Spanish name would never think to pronounce it that way.

[@Caraphatash]

Which is exactly why I told her she's pronouncing it wrong. She apologised for pronouncing Kieran's name wrong so she should do the same for Jaime.

[@WithinPremises]

It's great that you're informing her but I don't see why she'd need to publicly apologize for something like that, she's not offending anyone???

[@albavandeweem]

In the book they talk a lot about thorns and roses and stuff. They're called the Blackthorns, Jules's drawing of the Sleeping Beauty castle with all the thorns, in Faerie, Jules gets called son of thorns a lot. Also seeing Jules and Emma's relationship, you can see why roses would make sense, because their relationship is seen as so beautiful in the moment and later they ind the thorns (or something like that). Maybe there's a reason why the Blackthorns have the name of Blackthorn. And we still don't have a clear reason for Jules paiting Sleeping Beauty on his wall, right? Also there's this thing with the sea, that has been a huge part. Emma being scared of it, because of her parents and Jules (and the other Blackthorn kids?) loving it, because it reminds them of home and sea demons and stuff being present. Lastly, there's Thule, which was mentioned a couple times in the book. The poem in the beginning of course, but also one of the Seven says something about it..? Thoughts about all this?

[@謝慈恩-c8t]

I agree with your thought.

[@palestblue]

I am soooo excited, I have been refreshing KZbin ever since I finished LoS waiting for your discussion video. Your discussion videos are AMAZING and I loved loved loved this one so much!!!

[@kristie3238]

[@theoriginal4ever7]

This booktalk was amazing! So funny and you highlighted all the best moments and that moment where you almost cried about magnus not being in the hall when he would have been the only one who could have changed things - I almost cried too. Lord of Shadows was amazing but it left so many things up in the air, so many beloved characters are in danger, so much is uncertain. I can't wait for QoAaD but at the same time I am so scared of what is going to happen next.

[@sarahgeddes9492]

This gives me life. Please talk about Lord of Shadows more! Theories or talk to Cassie or anything! None of my friends have read it yet! I am trapped in my own emotions!

[@waves5652]

Saaaaaammme

[@kai9387time]

FINALLY I CAN WATCH IT. God that book destroyed me but I absolutely love these videos. I'm ADDICTED.

[@TheAmityElf]

I'm concerned that Julian is going to try some necromancy.

[@viktoriap.s.8218]

Your booktalks brighten my day, always.

[@alicruz5717]

Okay but when kit was like "I want a parabatai, maybe Ty" it litterally made my life but also like yo

[@elizabethmusial1508]

Also, zara kept talking about when she was in Hungary and shadowhunters were complaining their steles and seraph blades weren't working when they were fighting faeries I think. so that'll definitely come into play in the next book!!

[@Na23Be]

I'm rooting for a polymory relationship between Kieran, Cristina and Mark

[@keelykirkpatrick3620]

I felt a wave of sickness when Livvy was stabbed. That's how much it hurt. When Robert died, I couldn't stop thinking how he'd survived the circle, exile and war and whatever then...just...died. WHAT. WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH CLARY THINKING SHES GONNA DIE?! Enough said I HAVE NEVER SHIPPED THREE PEOPLE SO HARD UNTIL MARK, CHRISTINA AND KIERAN I love the Kit, Ty and Livvy trio Dru is amazing. I want more. JACE IS JUST YESSSSSS I can't stop thinking about Isabell and her dad. The children warmed my heart!!!! There's just so many feels....

[@ammawanders8980]

Also um.... Bridget is still here ?

[@SeannessyS]

I HAVE TO STOP AT THE SECOND WARNING IM READING IT NOW NOOO

[@SeannessyS]

I was just rewatching this video and magically found my own comment lmao

[@zoragandhi9552]

Ok I have this weird theory that Livvy isn't dead and maybe when she was injured at the shadow market something happened? Idk I'm probably just in denial.

[@gardenofeden358]

i was gonna reread Lady Midnight and Lord of Shadows before i start Queen of Air and Darkness, but ive decided im just gonna watch Christine freak out for 30mins and get a recap from her videos. because ive waited two years for this book to come out and i dont want to wait any longer.
