Okay but can we APPRECIATE OUR BOY JAMES LITERALLY LEARNS FARSI FOR HER AND GIVES HER A NECKLACE AND IS BASICALLY IN LOVE WITH HER EVEN WITH THE FRICKIN GRACELET ON LIKE IF THIS ISNT LOVE IDK WHAT IS?!?!?!?! HERONDALES UGHH 😭😭😭😭
i can't even imagine the pain cassie's gonna put us through with chain of thorns i think it's gonna be clockwork princess all over again and i'm not ready i still haven't recovered from clockwork princess
@@viranyleng4917 i know right every time i read the epilogue of clockwork princess it destroys me i don't think i will ever be ready for chain of thorns
@@Jellybeansatdusk hey there stranger you just replied to two comments I made in two completely different videos in a span of of like an hour tf? (Btw, the r/insaneparents video and this one)
Hey, what about the necklace James gave Cordelia. The globe pendant, he want to say something related to that necklace to her. But things kept happening
I have only read The Infernal Devices before this and I just cannot imagine reading The Last Hours without that context, like...imagine not tearing up every time Jem is mentioned!? But anyways, Matthew Fairchild deserves a happy ending so much, but just not with Cordelia. I hope we get more Ariadne/Anna and Thomas/Alastair content in the next book, because I love them.
I'm literally only 13 minutes in and you said "I dont want this to end with cordelia being like 'I'm gonna be with mattew' while james realizes he's in love with cordeilia" and IM NOW IM SO EXCITED TO SEE YOUR REACTION AT THE END YOU'RE LITERALLY PHYCIC WHAT THE FVCK
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
am i the only one who likes both ships? matthew x cordelia wouldn’t be a bad ending for me and neither would james x cordelia. either way i want matthew to be happy
@@sofiaschimmeck1517 honestly same. Matthew deserves the happiest ending out of everyone but I feel that he won’t find that with cordelia. She is so in love with James and it wouldn’t be fair to anyone. Even if she starts having feelings for Matthew, I don’t think it will compare to what she feels for James.
I went through the 32 stages of grief reading chain of iron oh my god. Can I just say Alastair Carstairs is literally my favourite book character of al time now & thomastair melted my heart. Also yes I have been won over by jordelia I really did tear up over them.
*Spoilers* I felt horrible for Grace when Tatiana told her to _seduce_ (🤮) Jesse. But the way she went running to James still acting like she loved him made me lose every ounce of sympathy... However, am I still looking forward for Grace and Christopers scenes? Yes.
okay all your reactions are literally how i fucking reacted. this book broke me, i’m not even kidding. also can we please talk about how cordelias voice made james come back into his senses when he was feeling the hate? i’ve just read 215 pages so i stopped at that point so that i could read along with you.
this book is the kinda of book you’re dying to finish to know what happens at the end, but when you do finish you just don’t know what to do to yourself (i literally finished one week ago and i cried during your entire vlog)
This is small but I really loved that Risa would just pretend that she couldnt speak english and then had little nicknames for the merry thieves - matthew being "the one from the circus" really cracked me up
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
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 😐
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 .
What got me was the fact that Lucie brought Jesse back without using a warlock. Yeah there’s going to be repercussions of that but I was like WHATTTT!!!!!!
I read chain of iron when it came out and till this day I still feel like this book is nothing but a dream. I can’t get over the ending, I love James so much and I was so mad when Math and Cordelia left even though they both are my favorite characters In TLH. Like what the hell? 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. I am truly emotionally dead after this book, I no longer believe in love without pain. But thank you, Hannah I adore your Channel and you. And I am happy that you are currently happier than before. ❤️❤️
Ikr! If Cordelia had waited 5 minutes before running out she would have gotten the full conversation and maybe even a confession from James, or if that was. too much to ask for if she hadn't been in such a rush I feel like they could have taken a later train to Paris and found out about Lucie and inevitably postponed the trip. Ugghhhh I'm so upset it's not even funny.
I agree so much omg 😭😭. I love math and cordelia, but I was lowkey disappointed that they just up and left. Especially with Matthew I mean come on, I know u love cordelia but he's your parabati, it's still crappy to run away with his wife, no matter the situation :(. Wish this love triangle wasn't a thing, Matthew needs to love himself please 😭
James mentions something super briefly at the end that the globe necklace he gave her has some sort of power and he gave it to her two weeks into their marriage,,,,,,
@@adrianleong5660 He says that he didn’t have the chance to tell Cordelia about the necklace. It’s super brief and only remember it because I finished the book like yesterday lol.
This book destroyed me. The most frustrating reading experience ever. My only plot theory is that the reason behind the all “The Carstairs owe the Herondales” is because James and/or Lucy are going to solve the deal that Cordelia made with Lilith
The last hours characters as bts songs because I love pain: James - filter Cordelia - heartbeat Grace - fake love Lucie - pied piper Matthew - save me Anna - my time Ariadne - serendipity Thomas - singularity Christopher - black swan Alastair - lie Jesse - awake
I haven't even read these books yet but now I already know their character traits lol. Imma come back one day after reading these and tell you if I agree or not
Omg, this is so accurate... I will listen to this when I reread the book. I read it in one sitting because it always happens with Cassie Clare's book's. I bet I will cry even more the second time especially with those songs playing in the background
all i can think about is the angst thats gonna be in chian of thorns and i am not okay. The tension bettween Cordellia and James when they meet again and all the emotions and i am so scared and in pain. Magnus just needs to get them all in a room and make them explain EVERYTHING to eahother. why can't shadowhunters communicate like its so painful. Cassie chose violence.
Jem playing the violin during the wedding left me sobbing, 100% agree about "Enchanted" by Taylor Swift being the theme song for Lucie and Jessie. 😂, I hate love triangles
If anybody thinks she is being dramatic you should have seen me reading clockwork Princess, losing my mind shouting and crying at a family function with everyone staring at me like I was mad and still to this day ask me why I was crying so much and my mom literally refusing to buy me more Cassandra Clare books because I was mourning the book for weeks and thought that they would make me depressed when the fact is that her books were the only things that stopped me from being actually depressed. You don't get it. These books saved my life. Literally.
@@alexcaro720 same, both of my friend r reading the shadowhunter chronicles, my friend just finished cogold and she asks if she can borrow coiron but I need to wait for school to start to give it to her and we’re all studying for a huge exam
I can not put into words how much these reading vlogs mean to me 😭😭 like none of my friends have read Chain of Gold or Chain of Iron and I neeeeed to hear more opinions about it and ahhh 💗💗💗 I have never been in such pain
Unpopular opinion*** - I loved the ending. I want her to just chill with Mathew in Paris( as friends) away from all the James craziness. I think their friendship is a great dynamic and can't wait to read more of it.
Hopefully, but Matthew might have withdrawal symptoms (cuz she asked him not yo drink) and that’s not gonna be fun for her after what happened with her dad
I feel like Paris isn't going to be as great as they expected because they are quite literally running away from their problems. Paris won't fix them. It's probably not going to sober Matthew up, nor make Cordelia forget about James. However, I really do like their friendship. I'm looking forward to some wholesome moments between them in Paris. Either way, they'll both have to come to their senses and go back to London and TALK to people eventually.
i can’t remember the exact line but the bit where it went “the hardest thing james herondale had to do in his life was nothing at all” when he doesn’t go after them on the train broke me
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!!
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 almost threw the book across the room at Tatiana's suggestion to grace. The once thing people always bring up about Cassie is the whole incest thing. To be fair the mortal instruments title was a incest fanfic lol.
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
I literally started bawling my eyes out on page 82 when Jem is playing the violin at their wedding. Like Cassie did not have the RIGHT to make me cry that much 82 pages into this book 😩😭😭
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.😭❤
[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 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
Tatiana wanted James to retrieve the bracelet cuz Tatiana thinks it will make James feel like he's hero or somethng and that James would feel like he's helping Grace...so basically to spark some sort of a heroism.
omg i relate to all of these reactions SO HARD. i honestly wasn't rooting for james/cordelia at first (i'm definitely rooting for fairstairs even though i know it won't happen, i love matthew too much), but i'd be happy with them together. they had so many cute moments together that i have no choice but to stan. also THANK YOU for talking about jesse and lucie, they were one of my favorite parts of the book and my vlog was just me screaming over them and matthew 😂this book was PAINFUL i need chain of thorns yesterday 😭
I was randomly recommended this video and 1) haven’t read any Cassandra Clare books in about seven years, 2) haven’t had the pleasure of coming across your channel before now, 3) am totally blown away by your pure empathy and love for these characters, and 4) will now be picking back up reading Cassandra’s books. thank youuuu💕
I so ship Thomas and Alastair!! And the James/Cordelia kissing scenes are literally hotter than half the sex scenes I've ever read. So frustrating- just get together already and put me out of my misery!!! *Ughhhh* I loved this book.
YOURE REACTIONS WERE MY REACTIONS HONESTLY I HAVE NEVER RELATED MORE I WAS A COMPLETE MESS READING THIS AND I LOVE THIS VIDEO WITH ALL MY HEART😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
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.

What page was this I’m so blind
@@adrianleong5660 He says that he didn’t have the chance to tell Cordelia about the necklace. It’s super brief and only remember it because I finished the book like yesterday lol.
If James X Cordelia isn't endgame, I too will simply evaporate.
Update: I literally just finished the book and this vlog is my coping mechanism.
@@melpet9 so true besti
@@melpet9 SAME I am STRESSED
This book destroyed me. The most frustrating reading experience ever. My only plot theory is that the reason behind the all “The Carstairs owe the Herondales” is because James and/or Lucy are going to solve the deal that Cordelia made with Lilith
ohhhh this is very possible!!
I really thought it was Jem and Will but this is a really interesting theory!
Only seen the first thirty seconds but, yes, I agree. pain.
Probably the most intense ending of a book I've ever seen Hannah has read.
it was too much 😭
"Daisy, my love" KILLED ME (mostly because I was pretending that he was talking to me, but still!!!!)
And then the ending did the work of my funeral 😢😭
"something's gonna happen with grace and james and cordelia's gonna be hurt and turn to matthew" HOW DID YOU KNOW???????
because my brain always automatically goes to the worst case scenario
"he's literally being gaslit by a bracelet"
"not reading for the plot" literally a mood, i forgot there was one
legit rewatching this cause chain of thorns comes out this month…..can’t believe it’s been sooo long 😭😭😭
your emotions every time james and cordelia had a scene was literally me LOL
SAME! Never felt so seen!
The last hours characters as bts songs because I love pain:
James - filter
Cordelia - heartbeat
Grace - fake love
Lucie - pied piper
Matthew - save me
Anna - my time
Ariadne - serendipity
Thomas - singularity
Christopher - black swan
Alastair - lie
Jesse - awake
I haven't even read these books yet but now I already know their character traits lol. Imma come back one day after reading these and tell you if I agree or not
Omg, this is so accurate... I will listen to this when I reread the book. I read it in one sitting because it always happens with Cassie Clare's book's. I bet I will cry even more the second time especially with those songs playing in the background
Omg they're all so accurate, I especially love cordelia's, ahhh that song, I love it sm🥺🥺
ooh i love this but could you provide an explanation for your choices?
all i can think about is the angst thats gonna be in chian of thorns and i am not okay. The tension bettween Cordellia and James when they meet again and all the emotions and i am so scared and in pain. Magnus just needs to get them all in a room and make them explain EVERYTHING to eahother. why can't shadowhunters communicate like its so painful. Cassie chose violence.
me halfway through a spoiler filled video kinda realizing that I might actually enjoy reading this series 👁👄 👁
do it, do itttt
just wipe everything i said from your mind
"DON'T STAY HERE" girl i wish she'd stayed there
yeah me too at this point 😭
😭😭😭
As someone who has never read a single Cassandra Claire book I have to say this video sent me on an emotional roller coaster
Jem playing the violin during the wedding left me sobbing, 100% agree about "Enchanted" by Taylor Swift being the theme song for Lucie and Jessie. 😂, I hate love triangles
enchanted, sparks fly and haunted were all written for luciejesse... i absolutely love it 🤍
my family listening to me scream IT GETS WORSE at you from the other room 👁👄👁
💀💀💀💀
The Thomastairs prison scene got me the most - I cried whilst explaining it to my mum 2 days later. Like I just couldn't handle all the emotions
If anybody thinks she is being dramatic you should have seen me reading clockwork Princess, losing my mind shouting and crying at a family function with everyone staring at me like I was mad and still to this day ask me why I was crying so much and my mom literally refusing to buy me more Cassandra Clare books because I was mourning the book for weeks and thought that they would make me depressed when the fact is that her books were the only things that stopped me from being actually depressed. You don't get it. These books saved my life. Literally.
Books saved my life too
No but like the way I get it.
alternate title Hannah crying her heart out at any and every page in chain of iron lol I feel you
Your reaction to the last hours will be my reaction to the wicked powers.
the part where you explained to your sister is exactly what i did to my brother as soon as i finished the book
FJSGSJ I DID THAT TO MY SISTER TOO I JUST KEPT REPEATING THE WORDS "IM INSULTED, IM SO INSULTED RIGHT NOW"
I can’t even explain it to my sister because she’s a reader too and is going to start reading the Shadowhunter chronicles and I can’t spoil her 😭😭😭
@@alexcaro720 same, both of my friend r reading the shadowhunter chronicles, my friend just finished cogold and she asks if she can borrow coiron but I need to wait for school to start to give it to her and we’re all studying for a huge exam
It's so fun watching this having just finished Chain of Iron and knowing that all of your predictions are spot on LOL
Am I correct to assume that Hannah would cry less cutting onions than reading Chain of Iron?
My copy hasn't arrived yet and I'm in eternal pain over it but commenting because you deserve appreciation ❤️
I love you 🥺💓
I hope it arrives soon!!
I can not put into words how much these reading vlogs mean to me 😭😭 like none of my friends have read Chain of Gold or Chain of Iron and I neeeeed to hear more opinions about it and ahhh 💗💗💗 I have never been in such pain
The way Hannah literally predicted the ending 😭❤️
Unpopular opinion*** - I loved the ending. I want her to just chill with Mathew in Paris( as friends) away from all the James craziness. I think their friendship is a great dynamic and can't wait to read more of it.
@Steph Blue idk why but I kinda want that to happen
Hopefully, but Matthew might have withdrawal symptoms (cuz she asked him not yo drink) and that’s not gonna be fun for her after what happened with her dad
SAME!!!
the ending was devastating but wonderful. the train? ugh, amazing. i can't wait for paris scenes in chain of thorns
I feel like Paris isn't going to be as great as they expected because they are quite literally running away from their problems. Paris won't fix them. It's probably not going to sober Matthew up, nor make Cordelia forget about James. However, I really do like their friendship. I'm looking forward to some wholesome moments between them in Paris. Either way, they'll both have to come to their senses and go back to London and TALK to people eventually.
i can’t remember the exact line but the bit where it went “the hardest thing james herondale had to do in his life was nothing at all” when he doesn’t go after them on the train broke me
I would've watched the 6 hours HAHA. I literally had to FORCE myself to read the last 20 pages of this book because I was in ~so much pain!~
Hey Hannah! Just finished reading "Chain of Thorns" and eagerly waiting for a reading vlog of the same😭💘
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!!
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 havent even gotten to the end yet and now I'm frustrated.....wth...??
@@WiseDragon50 ahhhh good luck. Let us know how u get on lol
@@nune-lt4sp Lol def will come back to the comment section when I finish😂😂😂
@@WiseDragon50 yayyy have fun 😂😂
Ok Im back....I finished the book today and.....I'm pissed at Matthew and Cordelia not giving James the time of day to EXPLAIN HIMSELF about Grace!!!!
I almost threw the book across the room at Tatiana's suggestion to grace. The once thing people always bring up about Cassie is the whole incest thing. To be fair the mortal instruments title was a incest fanfic lol.
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
I literally started bawling my eyes out on page 82 when Jem is playing the violin at their wedding. Like Cassie did not have the RIGHT to make me cry that much 82 pages into this book 😩😭😭
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.😭❤
If Mathew is unhappy I will never forgive Cassie
i ship Matthew and sobriety
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
Oh James and Cordelia scenes and thomastair were like love. Matthew's confession to cordelia literally just broke me oh I cried so bad.
This book made me feel like my heart was pulled out of my body, torn to shreds, then put in a blender. I loved it.
Lmao this is what ppl mean when they say being a reader is peaceful
the only booktuber you’ll catch me watching hour long reading vlogs for. I loved this!!
[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 😂😂
lol same. i didn't care for them in the first book, but chain of iron decided it for me.
@@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
Tatiana wanted James to retrieve the bracelet cuz Tatiana thinks it will make James feel like he's hero or somethng and that James would feel like he's helping Grace...so basically to spark some sort of a heroism.
omg i relate to all of these reactions SO HARD. i honestly wasn't rooting for james/cordelia at first (i'm definitely rooting for fairstairs even though i know it won't happen, i love matthew too much), but i'd be happy with them together. they had so many cute moments together that i have no choice but to stan. also THANK YOU for talking about jesse and lucie, they were one of my favorite parts of the book and my vlog was just me screaming over them and matthew 😂this book was PAINFUL i need chain of thorns yesterday 😭
I also need chain of thorns yesterday 🤣🤣
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.
THIS BOOK BROKE ME - can i please hibernate for a year??
I was randomly recommended this video and 1) haven’t read any Cassandra Clare books in about seven years, 2) haven’t had the pleasure of coming across your channel before now, 3) am totally blown away by your pure empathy and love for these characters, and 4) will now be picking back up reading Cassandra’s books. thank youuuu💕
I so ship Thomas and Alastair!! And the James/Cordelia kissing scenes are literally hotter than half the sex scenes I've ever read. So frustrating- just get together already and put me out of my misery!!! *Ughhhh* I loved this book.
I’ve been waiting for this one. Turn it up!
The timing of this video couldn't be more perfect. I just finished it last night! I almost threw the book across the room a couple times
"Matthew I love you, but please don't be a car guy" AHHHH ME AF
I've never read a single Cassandra Clare book, but I'm here for the fandom. Your enthusiasm is amazing, and made my day. :)
What I love is how both Emma and Cordelia were always described as smelling of rose water. It's the Carstairs signature scent.
YOURE REACTIONS WERE MY REACTIONS HONESTLY I HAVE NEVER RELATED MORE I WAS A COMPLETE MESS READING THIS AND I LOVE THIS VIDEO WITH ALL MY HEART😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I read most of this book on a plane, and the guy sitting next to me kept casting me very concerned looks😂
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.
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!
I havent read a single cassie book I just came to leave a comment 😭❤️
ily 😭💖
What am I doing here? I just read City of Bones XD
