I bet when Cassandra Clare was writing COHF she deliberately made Brother Zachariah not say his real name (even though it was written after Clockwork Princess) so people would still be shocked. Because the reveal of "Jem is alive and is now a silent brother" in Clockwork Princess is honestly one of the biggest shockers in any book ever.
After I finished clockwork princess, I sat there, staring at my roof with emptiness in my mind and then, I started CRYING and then it went on until the next day!!....The epilogue was so perfect yet BIG SPOILER ALERT!!! ...........How could Will be dead? I mean I never thought....I can't .....I saw will as my hero.He was so perfect.I never imagined him as a old man.I miss will, his jokes, his way of talking and the whole infernal devices.....
i..i know how you feel...im still trying to get through that like the feelings just popped up *AGAIN* bbahahahabhasbhsdchlaer sdbyck its been at least 7 months
bubblepebble245 i know. LIKE HOW CAN WILL DIE AND TESSA STAYS ALIVE. i thought on the epilogue she will kill herself or let someone do it because she can't live without will. i can't believe tho jem and tessa also ended up together. i was never a team jem because i never really felt tessa's love for jem. idk
While I was reading Clockwork Princess I thought of your theorys a lot and the fact that you were on the right track for a lot of things is awesome. Congrats, you are an amazing reader.
Again, I love your theories!! :D I cannot wait to read Clockwork Princess! I've been reading the two series again and I've realized something: the books constantly say that Alec has inherited his amazing blue eyes from his mother, Maryse, not from Robert Lightwood. I think it's never stated Maryse's family surname so maybe she's related to the Herondales somehow...? I think it's possible, and that way Jace and Alec would be relatives!
Read TID a couple of months back ( still having withdrawals) and found this video hilarious, Will being the silent brother😂 I don't see where the hits came from.
OMG BRILLIANT THEORY! You just made me more excited for the book to come out! AHHH! PS. anyone feel sorry for Cassandra Clare? How do you end such a book?!?!?
Amazing stuff! But I still really want to know what your thoughts are on Will's future. I think its devastating that Will and Tessa probably won't end up together........
There's also Cecily being with one of the Lightwoods (probably Gabriel), which would explain why Alec's signature blue eyes remind Magnus and Camille so much of Will Herondale!
After watching all of your crackpot theory videos, I realized I only picked up like 50% of the shadowhunter books that I had read. I missed A LOT of details.
After rereading City of Glass when Luke and Clary are in the cemetery on the outskirts of Idris, Clary finds two graves one is Aloysius Fairchild (great-grandfather of Clary) and the other is Adele Fairchild (grandmother of Clary) so that explains her middle name. But, its still kind of weird because of Aloysius and Adele Starkweather in Clockwork Princess. Because, like you said, there is no coincidences in Cassandra Clare's books.
to be a descended from the fairchilds I'm pretty sure in clockwork prince so yes Clary is related to her and Henry. I love watching your videos and have watched both crackpot theories :). Love how you pick up on stuff!
Jim and Cecily...hadn't thought about it...but I dig it. My Jem theory (or coping mechanism, call it what you like) is that he becomes a silent brother after ALMOST but not quite dying, and Will helps him to complete the process like last minute, and takes care of Tessa (and maybe the love of Jem's life Cecily and their baby? Idk but that works ). That would be the debt the rather owes the Herondale family. And Jem would see Will in Jace, which would explain that intensity.
okay theory #1: - Will is going to be the first herondale with the starshaped mark ( because they said that every male in the herondale line for as long as they can remember has been born with a star shaped mark (i think, i miight have read wrong on that one)) theory #2: what if the reason why the cup only can change children and young adults into shadowhunters in TMI is because something will go wrong in TID when (/if) sophie tries to drink from the mortal cup causing the cup to "malfunction"?
The first chapter of Clockwork Princess was released not that long ago (if you haven't read it yet do it!) and I won't spoil it but it mentions that Cecily momentarily catches the eye of Gabriel Lightwood, which got me thinking... in TMI it's mentioned that Alec looks like Will, same black hair and blue eyes, which obviously Cecily has as well sooooo I'm thinking her and Gabriel end up together and they created the dark haired blue eyed Lightwoods we love today! :)
That moment when you've got clockwork princess next to you but your not emotionally ready to read it so you google theory's and clockwork prince book talks
I love the Charlotte and Henry theory! Actually makes a lot of sense and might explain the sort of recognition that Tessa and Clary have in City of Glass... Maybe Clary would resemble their child...
~SPOILERS~ I'm watching this after having read EVERY SNIPPET of TLH and TDA and EVERY OTHER CASSANDRA CLARE BOOK/NOVELLA and its just like "Emma is related to Jace." "She is." "Does Jem have any living relatives?" "Yup" "Tessa is a warlock-shadowhunter hybrid!" "I know." And then the Clary-Henry-Fairchild-etc. thing: *silence*😐😐
Did anyone else realise Henry's middle name is Jocelyn? And also Cassandra Clare has stated that it's not coincidence that Tessa and Clary have a similar last name. Gray, Fray? :O SO EXCITED TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS!
I think you might be right on the Cecily and Jem thing cuz I saw some the first chapter and part of it was from her pov and she was saying how she liked Jem but he was to in love with Tessa but still showed some affection towards her. But the friendly kind.
if you read magnus' vow (a very short story thing in the back of clockwork angel), youd know that both jem and will are dead, but tessa is alive. therefore, niether of them can be silent brothers, plus, in a snippet of clockwork princess, jem says that the option of becoming a silent brother is not open to him.
Cecily is fourteen and Jem is twenty I think, so to me it would be weird for them to be together, but everything is different in the Victorian Era. Other than that, awesome theories! Soo excited for the book. Btw, did you know that Cassie released the prologue and the first chapter is almost out too? Thanks and I love your crackpot theories. I freaked out when I saw that title :D
The thing with a Carstairs in the Dark Artifices though... is that Cassie Clare said that when a Shadowhunter family dies out completely, a person that ascends to become a shadowhunter, they must take a shadowhunter name... which may be why she wants to be "the best shadowhunter since Jace Wayland." To prove herself. I don't think Jem will make it. :(
I think Tessa will become an Iron Sister. She was wearing a white dress at the end of CoG, and Jocelyn mentioned an Iron Sister that she used to see years ago. Tessa was the one who helped Magnus with erasing Clarys memories. When Izzy and Jocelyn went to see the Iron Sisters, the one they talked to was explaining how time can't take away the pain of loss but it makes it "bearable". And I just kept thinking of Tessa being immortal and how Will isn't. He'll grow old and die, and agfjfkfmms
have any of ya'll seen the family tree in the book sleeve of clockwork princess that thing is soooooo cool and Clare practically stopped most of the crackpot theories though there are still some. I just keep looking at the family tree and it keeps surprising me
Personally I think Adele (weird old guy's granddaughter) is Tessa's mom. They said she died, but I think something happened to her, and weird old guy aksed for Mortmain's parents (the warlocks who conviniently live nearby the York institute) for help for her, and in helping they did something, that will later make Tessa mega special... or something like that... and that's why he reacted like that when he first saw her? he maybe recognized his Adele in Tessa... just a theory
its so good i just finished reading it! the ending was so perfect. cant wait for the upcoming shadowhunter series that cassandra clare is working on !!!!
Hey Xtine... I'm not sure if anyone else has made this connection and mentioned it. But... Aloyisus Starkweather... Isn't Hodge's last name Starkweather??? LOVE your theories; I can't wait to read "Clockwork Princess"!
ALSO . . . Henry's middle name is Jocelyn! I can't find the specific page that it tells you that, but I read TID before TMI, so I remember seeing that Jocelyn Fray was named after Henry Jocelyn!
so in City of Glass we're told that there isn't a Herondale without a star shaped scar so wouldn't that mean that if Gabcily (cebriel whatever) was true that Alec and Isabelle would have those marks and we've never heard of them having them before. Right?
I think Emma Carstairs is something to throw us off. Firstly because I think Cassie said that Jem has other family members in Shanghai. Or also, because in a post about the family tree she said one of the reasons not to read it first is because it may not be entirely accurate (as in the person who compiled it knew official facts so if a child was born out of wedlock it would have the official last name of whoever the husband was- so she could marry Jem but have Will's baby).
I'm currently rereading CoG and at this one point where Clary and Luke are on this graveyard (3rd chapter I think) there are very familiar names in the gravestones of the Fairchild family : Aloysius and Adele. They are definitely related!!!
Hi! Before I watch this, I just want to know if there are spoilers for the Mortal Instruments. I have only read City of Bones, and am very eager to move on in the series, so I don't want any major spoilers. I have read Clockwork Angel and Clockwork Prince though =)
I think her mom is a shadow hunter like you said, but her dad was a demon. And it's proven because in clockwork angle, Tessa's brother says mortamin gave him powers, which I think means he was a shadow hunter but didn't know it and mortamin told him and taught him how to fight. If that's true, he's aunt Harriet's child, so Harriet was a shadow hunter and Harriet and Tessa's mom were sisters and sconce shadow hunter blood is dominant, Tessa's mom was a shadow hunter, so is Tessa
If you look behind the sleeve for clockwork princess it shows the family line (It's in mine so if not yours then we have different copies I'm not crazy)
it's better if you read the book in order they were published City of bones, city of ashes, city of glass, clockwork angel, city of fallen angels, clockwork prince, city of lost souls, clockwork princess, and then City of heavenly fire.... this is just a recomendation, if you want it, you can read The infernal devices before the mortal instruments.
In clockwork prince will's ring is mentioned and in city of fallen angels the seelie queen asks clary why jace doesn't have a herondale ring so what if will gives the ring to Tessa and later in city of heavenly fire Tessa gives it to jace
Or did she mean to say City of Glass because Tessa was confirmed by Cassie to be the warlock Magnus was talking to at the end although it was never said in the book
Some kind of new mark(the Herondale star birthmark, cause I think she is part warlock too) and they go to New York to keep an eye on their distant relatives(the lightwoods, and Jace) AND (sorry I forgot one) clary and Jocelyn will be related to Henry and Charlotte somehow
i dont know if you remembered this, but charlotte was always described as small and delicate and so was clary and since charlottes last name is fairchild, shes probably related to clary. :D
I DON'T KNOWWWW, so many theories floating about! BUT it's getting so close to the release date and I am so excited. I think Charlotte could die? or Henry like you said... oh i don't know i just need the book now!!!!
Oh and I just thought the box jace gets is with stuff about his real father in was silver with birds on right? And doesn't jems family ring have birds on it and isn't it silver?
So now there is one Herondale child, one Carstairs child and one Morgenstern. Also, it makes sense because Jessamine wants kids so badly and there are no Lovelaces in the books. and yeah. I also think that Tessa is half shadowhunter and half demon and it only works because when mortmain says "i made you" he means that she has a clockwork heart. and with her necklace, as long as it ticks, she's alive. also, magnus is her half bro, with the same dad. that'd be AWESOME! anddd yeah ;P
Clare said that a mundane who assends has the option to choose a ShadowHunter surname from a Roster of names that have died out so that means although Emma's last name is Carstairs that doesn't mean she's related to Jem in anyway. She could have chosen that name :/
I think that Tessa was switched at birth like the fairy said happens to some of the fairy children and she was swapped with Starkweather's granddaughter since he said she was sickly which is wat the fairy said was the reason for switching sickly fairy children with healthy ones which was the whole reason Cassandra Clare wrote that scene. Foreshadowing
1) Cassie confirmed jam can't be a silent brother. 2) she also hinted that Stephen herondale might still be alive. But my theory is that Gabriel and Cecily get together because that would created the "lightwood look" needed for izzy and Alec
I agree with most of what you said but on Henry and Charlotte's baby, charlotte is an only child right? So my take on this is that since no one can inherit the Fairchild name after her when she took the name branwell that she gave her maiden name to the child to raise it as the head of the Fairchild house and of course if Henry dies it will became the more obvious path for her.
you know I really would like Cecily and Gabriel together because that would be soooo amusing to see how Will would react, but I also want Tessa and Will together and Jem's heart not to be broken so I want Jem to love Cecily....uuuggghhhh I don't know what I feel! This has got to be the only book where I can't figure out which guy I love the most, will or jem... *sobs*
Cassie said that if a Shadowhunter dies someone else can adopt there last name when they become a Shadowhunter, maybe tessa does that.(hopefully not though) also Adel was Clarys middle name, named after like her great grandmother right? And have you read Magnus's vow? It's a bonus at the end
you can read it in any order, i read TID first, and i found it waaay more interesting than TMI, (though tmi is still amazing beyond all things) but it depends if you want to start in the 1800s or more present day. I would suggest TMI, but theres no particular order even though tid is the prologue series :) i hope that helps x)
And also in City of Lost Souls when Jocelyn and Clary were talking, Jocelyn said "A Female Warlock, stood in the place of an iron sister.".. Jocelyn said that when she and Clary were talking about the protection ceremony. Could this female be again Tessa...?
I can't believe Clarys mom made Fray by combining the last names: Fairchild and Grey!! THATS BRILLIANT!!!!
I watched this after reading Clockwork Princess and I'm laughing so hard at the "Brother Zachariah is Will theory"
Yes me to 😂
honestly I finished cohf before i read the infernal devices so I also thought it was Will!😂😂
meanwhile I am crying because it wasn't the case
I bet when Cassandra Clare was writing COHF she deliberately made Brother Zachariah not say his real name (even though it was written after Clockwork Princess) so people would still be shocked. Because the reveal of "Jem is alive and is now a silent brother" in Clockwork Princess is honestly one of the biggest shockers in any book ever.
There was one hint in COHF: Brother Zachariah picks up Church (the cat) and he doesn't protest, which only Jem could do.
I lost it in the epilogue. And when jem ‘died’
omg me too
i laughed so hard when she said zachariah was will. like. so hard.
haha I know right I was too
Me too
Ya
After I finished clockwork princess, I sat there, staring at my roof with emptiness in my mind and then, I started CRYING and then it went on until the next day!!....The epilogue was so perfect yet BIG SPOILER ALERT!!!
...........How could Will be dead? I mean I never thought....I can't .....I saw will as my hero.He was so perfect.I never imagined him as a old man.I miss will, his jokes, his way of talking and the whole infernal devices.....
i..i know how you feel...im still trying to get through that like the feelings just popped up *AGAIN* bbahahahabhasbhsdchlaer sdbyck
its been at least 7 months
I finished it yesterday and I felt the same exact thing except the fact that I was crying while I was reading as well
Hiyono Luck 12 months for me
bubblepebble245 i know. LIKE HOW CAN WILL DIE AND TESSA STAYS ALIVE. i thought on the epilogue she will kill herself or let someone do it because she can't live without will. i can't believe tho jem and tessa also ended up together. i was never a team jem because i never really felt tessa's love for jem. idk
Wait what WILL DIES?! SPOILERS!!!!(guys I'm just reading Clockwork Angel😭😭😭)
did anyone else pick up on the fact that Henry's middle name is Jocelyn
6:37 "I don't think it will be as upsetting as one of our trio dying." ...*hysterical laughter in the background*...
AND HENRYS MIDDLE IS JOCELYN LIKE SERIOUSLY WTF
looking back at how life was before clockwork princess that shit tore my heart into. 27638273826276 pieces
Oh thank god so glad I'm not the only one who lost their mind reading clockwork princess
Oh my gosh! This series was the highlight of my summer reading! I loved it!
While I was reading Clockwork Princess I thought of your theorys a lot and the fact that you were on the right track for a lot of things is awesome. Congrats, you are an amazing reader.
I just finished the book this morning, ive never cried so much in my life
I just finished Clockwork Princess and I was sobbing yes SOBBING on page 506-508 I just lost my shit
same
Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!! You got the Tessa origin right!!!!!
I seriously love all of the videos you make. I am subscribed to every channel I see you in. You are really funny and amazing.
Watching this in 2017 makes me happy.
This video made ME even more excited for Clockwork Princess and idk why I found it so funny when you kept saying "preggers"
Awesome video!
My head has been running wild with ideas and it's starting to make me go crazy! I just need the book now!
It's so funny to watch this video after reading the book xD! "It won't hurt as much as one of the trio dying"... Well will dies so
WE DON'T SPEAK OF THAT
Claire Austin 😢😢😢😢😢😣😣😣😣😣😣
I'm watching this for the first time and I'm praying for 2013 Christine who had to wait 3 years for Lady Midnight
I agree with gundamharo123 and good theories!
I finished the book and I can't wait for your review! IT WAS SO GOOD. I was in tears- now I want to hear your opinion.
Rewatching this after reading Clockwork princess and cackling incessantly at all the theories you got right~ Cassandra may try but she cannot fool us
You were so right it's scary. You basically named everything that happened in the book and was very close with some others
Again, I love your theories!! :D I cannot wait to read Clockwork Princess!
I've been reading the two series again and I've realized something: the books constantly say that Alec has inherited his amazing blue eyes from his mother, Maryse, not from Robert Lightwood. I think it's never stated Maryse's family surname so maybe she's related to the Herondales somehow...? I think it's possible, and that way Jace and Alec would be relatives!
Read TID a couple of months back ( still having withdrawals) and found this video hilarious, Will being the silent brother😂 I don't see where the hits came from.
OMG BRILLIANT THEORY! You just made me more excited for the book to come out! AHHH! PS. anyone feel sorry for Cassandra Clare? How do you end such a book?!?!?
This was by far my favorite book out of the series!
BROTHER ZACHARIAH IS JEM GODDAMIT then hes a shadowhunter again
Amazing stuff! But I still really want to know what your thoughts are on Will's future. I think its devastating that Will and Tessa probably won't end up together........
I finished the book today and it's interesting to see how write your theories were.
There's also Cecily being with one of the Lightwoods (probably Gabriel), which would explain why Alec's signature blue eyes remind Magnus and Camille so much of Will Herondale!
I DIED OF LAUGHTER WHEN YOU SAID HENRY MUST TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM. ALL THESE FEELINGS EVERYWHERE SDLKJGSDKLASDG D:
After watching all of your crackpot theory videos, I realized I only picked up like 50% of the shadowhunter books that I had read. I missed A LOT of details.

"Gotta take one for the team Henry"
Omg laughing so hard 😂😂😂
Jim and Cecily...hadn't thought about it...but I dig it. My Jem theory (or coping mechanism, call it what you like) is that he becomes a silent brother after ALMOST but not quite dying, and Will helps him to complete the process like last minute, and takes care of Tessa (and maybe the love of Jem's life Cecily and their baby?

HeyItsVic Books,TV,Movies,Writing Omggg that is currently me right now!!!
I love the Charlotte and Henry theory! Actually makes a lot of sense and might explain the sort of recognition that Tessa and Clary have in City of Glass... Maybe Clary would resemble their child...
~SPOILERS~
I'm watching this after having read EVERY SNIPPET of TLH and TDA and EVERY OTHER CASSANDRA CLARE BOOK/NOVELLA and its just like "Emma is related to Jace." "She is." "Does Jem have any living relatives?" "Yup" "Tessa is a warlock-shadowhunter hybrid!" "I know." And then the Clary-Henry-Fairchild-etc. thing: *silence*😐😐
+Emma W Tessa can have kids because she is a hybrid but Magnus can't because he is a pureblood
Sparklez Rainbow Ikr, I remember finding out and freaking out bc James Herondale.
@Brianna Stonick at the end of my copy of clockwork angle. Lots of cool theroy info in that.
Did anyone else realise Henry's middle name is Jocelyn? And also Cassandra Clare has stated that it's not coincidence that Tessa and Clary have a similar last name. Gray, Fray? :O SO EXCITED TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS!
I think you might be right on the Cecily and Jem thing cuz I saw some the first chapter and part of it was from her pov and she was saying how she liked Jem but he was to in love with Tessa but still showed some affection towards her. But the friendly kind.
I am so excited to see your review, I just finished book and had a rush of emotions! :'(
the trailer for this book was amazing

I don't think I will be able to handle all the feels in the last book.... BUT I CAN'T WAIT!!! :)
Just Rereading Clockwork Prince, Made The connection That Henry's Middle name Is Jocelyn, Coinsadence, Clary's moms name is Jocelyn
The thing with a Carstairs in the Dark Artifices though... is that Cassie Clare said that when a Shadowhunter family dies out completely, a person that ascends to become a shadowhunter, they must take a shadowhunter name... which may be why she wants to be "the best shadowhunter since Jace Wayland." To prove herself. I don't think Jem will make it. :(
OMG felt the same way! After I finished it, and eventually stopped crying, I just looked around like, what do i do now?
I think Tessa will become an Iron Sister. She was wearing a white dress at the end of CoG, and Jocelyn mentioned an Iron Sister that she used to see years ago. Tessa was the one who helped Magnus with erasing Clarys memories. When Izzy and Jocelyn went to see the Iron Sisters, the one they talked to was explaining how time can't take away the pain of loss but it makes it "bearable".

its so good i just finished reading it! the ending was so perfect. cant wait for the upcoming shadowhunter series that cassandra clare is working on !!!!
WHERE DO U GET ALL YOUR BOOK MERCHENDISE?! Like your camp-half-blood shirt and your TID necklace and shirt?
Hey Xtine... I'm not sure if anyone else has made this connection and mentioned it. But... Aloyisus Starkweather... Isn't Hodge's last name Starkweather??? LOVE your theories; I can't wait to read "Clockwork Princess"!
ALSO . . . Henry's middle name is Jocelyn! I can't find the specific page that it tells you that, but I read TID before TMI, so I remember seeing that Jocelyn Fray was named after Henry Jocelyn!
I was going to start the mortal instruments series but I don't know which to read first city of bones or clock work angel or does it matter
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING WITH JEM AND CECILY! I love your theories I feel the same way!
so in City of Glass we're told that there isn't a Herondale without a star shaped scar so wouldn't that mean that if Gabcily (cebriel whatever) was true that Alec and Isabelle would have those marks and we've never heard of them having them before. Right?
I think Emma Carstairs is something to throw us off. Firstly because I think Cassie said that Jem has other family members in Shanghai. Or also, because in a post about the family tree she said one of the reasons not to read it first is because it may not be entirely accurate (as in the person who compiled it knew official facts so if a child was born out of wedlock it would have the official last name of whoever the husband was- so she could marry Jem but have Will's baby).
I'm currently rereading CoG and at this one point where Clary and Luke are on this graveyard (3rd chapter I think) there are very familiar names in the gravestones of the Fairchild family : Aloysius and Adele.
They are definitely related!!!
OMG Ive been waiting for you to say something about Clockwork Princess book trailer..Finally!!! Thank you xtine
Hi! Before I watch this, I just want to know if there are spoilers for the Mortal Instruments. I have only read City of Bones, and am very eager to move on in the series, so I don't want any major spoilers. I have read Clockwork Angel and Clockwork Prince though =)
I think her mom is a shadow hunter like you said, but her dad was a demon. And it's proven because in clockwork angle, Tessa's brother says mortamin gave him powers, which I think means he was a shadow hunter but didn't know it and mortamin told him and taught him how to fight. If that's true, he's aunt Harriet's child, so Harriet was a shadow hunter and Harriet and Tessa's mom were sisters and sconce shadow hunter blood is dominant, Tessa's mom was a shadow hunter, so is Tessa
can you do a video of all your crackpot theories combined about (TMI/TID) ....and how would you reread all those books...
If you look behind the sleeve for clockwork princess it shows the family line
(It's in mine so if not yours then we have different copies I'm not crazy)
it's better if you read the book in order they were published
City of bones, city of ashes, city of glass, clockwork angel, city of fallen angels, clockwork prince, city of lost souls, clockwork princess, and then City of heavenly fire.... this is just a recomendation, if you want it, you can read The infernal devices before the mortal instruments.
In clockwork prince will's ring is mentioned and in city of fallen angels the seelie queen asks clary why jace doesn't have a herondale ring so what if will gives the ring to Tessa and later in city of heavenly fire Tessa gives it to jace
At about 4:35 what warlock was she talking about???
Or did she mean to say City of Glass because Tessa was confirmed by Cassie to be the warlock Magnus was talking to at the end although it was never said in the book
SO. MANY. THEORIES!! MIND. ON. OVERDRIVE!! so EXCITED for the release!!
Some kind of new mark(the Herondale star birthmark, cause I think she is part warlock too) and they go to New York to keep an eye on their distant relatives(the lightwoods, and Jace) AND (sorry I forgot one) clary and Jocelyn will be related to Henry and Charlotte somehow
i dont know if you remembered this, but charlotte was always described as small and delicate and so was clary and since charlottes last name is fairchild, shes probably related to clary. :D
are you going to do a talk on the magnus bane featurette?
and my heart will forever be broken.I just don't see this book ending well...:'(
Cassandra Clare said that Clockwork Princess and City of HF are gonna be huge books apparently!
What chapter was it in city of glass that magnus talked to the girl in the white dress?
I don't get any of this because I just started City of Bones, but I'm still watching it because I love all of your videos;)
So excited for clockwork princess. I share your same theories :) need book now
I DON'T KNOWWWW, so many theories floating about! BUT it's getting so close to the release date and I am so excited. I think Charlotte could die? or Henry like you said... oh i don't know i just need the book now!!!!
Oh and I just thought the box jace gets is with stuff about his real father in was silver with birds on right? And doesn't jems family ring have birds on it and isn't it silver?
So now there is one Herondale child, one Carstairs child and one Morgenstern. Also, it makes sense because Jessamine wants kids so badly and there are no Lovelaces in the books. and yeah. I also think that Tessa is half shadowhunter and half demon and it only works because when mortmain says "i made you" he means that she has a clockwork heart. and with her necklace, as long as it ticks, she's alive. also, magnus is her half bro, with the same dad. that'd be AWESOME! anddd yeah ;P
Clare said that a mundane who assends has the option to choose a ShadowHunter surname from a Roster of names that have died out so that means although Emma's last name is Carstairs that doesn't mean she's related to Jem in anyway. She could have chosen that name :/
I think that Tessa was switched at birth like the fairy said happens to some of the fairy children and she was swapped with Starkweather's granddaughter since he said she was sickly which is wat the fairy said was the reason for switching sickly fairy children with healthy ones which was the whole reason Cassandra Clare wrote that scene. Foreshadowing
What's the new series going to be called again?
where can you read the first chapter I can't find it!!!! and I totally called that at the end of clockwork prince when she showed up lol
I'm fairly sure that no matter how it ends, Cassie is gonna rip our hearts out just like in Clockwork Prince. THE FEEEELS!
1) Cassie confirmed jam can't be a silent brother. 2) she also hinted that Stephen herondale might still be alive. But my theory is that Gabriel and Cecily get together because that would created the "lightwood look" needed for izzy and Alec
I agree with most of what you said but on Henry and Charlotte's baby, charlotte is an only child right? So my take on this is that since no one can inherit the Fairchild name after her when she took the name branwell that she gave her maiden name to the child to raise it as the head of the Fairchild house and of course if Henry dies it will became the more obvious path for her.
you know I really would like Cecily and Gabriel together because that would be soooo amusing to see how Will would react, but I also want Tessa and Will together and Jem's heart not to be broken so I want Jem to love Cecily....uuuggghhhh I don't know what I feel! This has got to be the only book where I can't figure out which guy I love the most, will or jem... *sobs*
Cassie said that if a Shadowhunter dies someone else can adopt there last name when they become a Shadowhunter, maybe tessa does that.(hopefully not though) also Adel was Clarys middle name, named after like her great grandmother right? And have you read Magnus's vow? It's a bonus at the end
you can read it in any order, i read TID first, and i found it waaay more interesting than TMI, (though tmi is still amazing beyond all things) but it depends if you want to start in the 1800s or more present day. I would suggest TMI, but theres no particular order even though tid is the prologue series :) i hope that helps x)
Having read the book, a lot of your theories are pretty close to what really happens.
where in city of glass is Tessa!! what page?? what chapter?? I have to see!!
And also in City of Lost Souls when Jocelyn and Clary were talking, Jocelyn said "A Female Warlock, stood in the place of an iron sister.".. Jocelyn said that when she and Clary were talking about the protection ceremony. Could this female be again Tessa...?
