One Christopher dies way before the other Christopher is even born, so I guess that counters the confusion Also they're from a diffferent series. But I agree that Cassie could have been a bit more creative with the names xD
@@fernandawritesstories2701 From all we know about TDA Kit's heritage and how he stems from (spoilers) Tobias Herondale, I think its pretty much impossible for TLH Kit and TDA Kit to be interconnected in any way.
When she was talking about all the characters I was just sitting here trying to wrap my mind around everything. It’s so confusing even though I’ve read every shadowhunter book. A lot of them have the same names as other characters too so it’s just a lot.
Juliejustdance I know right!!! It gets so confusing and in my case I skimmed through most of the complementary novellas that are supposed to introduce us to this new set of characters
For anybody who's still confused about the family relationships: Gideon Lightwood, Gabriel Lightwood and Tatiana Blackthorn (née Lightwood) are all siblings. So all of their children (Barbara, Euginia & Thomas Lightwood, Anna & Christopher Lightwood and Jesse and Grace Blackthorn) are cousins. Gabriel is married to Cecily Herondale, the sister of Will Herondale, so Anna and Christopher are also cousins with James and Lucie Herondale.
How is Emma so brilliant at explaining what books and novellas are about?! I find it impossible to explain a book without slipping into a long lecture...😑
in Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy, on pg 189(paperback) Catarina says, “And I will explain how a demonic plague almost wiped out the Shadowhunters.” It doesn’t give anything away, but i thought it was cool how early Clare was planning everything.
I loved this video I need to order Chain of Gold and Ghosts of the Shadowmarket RN. Even tho I have no money. hahaha. New Cassie content is just golden
I read the title and my heart exited my body. Oml I’m gonna make myself late for work because I’m fangirling too hard. Mint green is soooo pretty on you!!!!! (I’m biased tho because that is the superior color in the rainbow.)
A year ago I was watching your video on how to read the Shadowhunter books. 15 books ish later and this is my first time reading a Clare book when it’s released. Thank you so much!!
Me at the beginning of this video: Yes. Tell me everything! Me at the end of this video: NO! WHERE ARE YOU GOING!! I NEED TO KNOW MORE!!! I'm so excited for this book.
Im so intrigued by the supposed “abilities” these characters are supposed to have?? I am not 100% sure if that is true but nevertheless, I am pretty excited to meet some new Herondales, Fairchilds, Lightwoods, and Carstairs!!
i know pretty much everything that you say in these kind of videos because i'm a massive fan of the shadowhunter world but i still LOVE to see them i cannot get enough of you talking about it 😍 i can't wait to read chain of gold to later watch a review from you!!! 💗
Warning-Spoilers!! Does anyone know what the significance of the bracelet is, the one that Grace gives James by the gates of the Blackthorn property? I remember when Grace confesses she dosen’t love James, she rips it free from his wrist, but then puts it back on when he is recovering from his injuries sustained during the battle with his demon grandfather. She apologizes when she does this, but I don’t understand why. Is the bracelet some sort of enchantment that possesses James? Is that why he can’t truly love Cordelia? If anyone has interpreted this scene differently, please leave comments. I just finished the book and need to know.
The bracelet is an enchantment that makes James love Grace even though he really doesn't, that explains why he wasn't so affected with their break up because he wasn't wearing the bracelet anymore and he can feel his affection for Cordelia more clearly now. In the epilogue, Belial mentioned to Tatiana that James wasn't wearing it when he came to the shadow realm. With that, I think the bracelet makes James command whatever Belial/Grace (in that matter) wishes for him to do. Belial didn't succeed with his plans for James because the bracelet wasn't worn by him + Cordelia saved him.
as dome others have said it,the bracelet is the only reason that makes James think he loves Grace. This clouded his feelings for Cordelia.The reason James could kiss Cordelia so freely in The Whispering Room is that the bracelet was off,and he could think straight,about his feelings for Cordelia.
Christopher Herondale and Christopher Lightwood, and Jonathan Christopher Herondale, Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern, Jonathan Cartwright and Jonathan Shadowhunter, and James Herondale, James Carstairs and Jaime Rosales, and Alec Lightwood and Alexander Lightwood. Yeah. I think you got the point
Ig: yes.ruiz TID was my favorite series, in the shadowhunter world. I cant wait to keep that story going with all my favorite characters kids. Ahhhhhh! I'm so so so excited!
I read chain of gold without knowing any other shadow Hunter books existed and found out when I finished it 😬 I was abit upset but it made sense and i really enjoyed it and look forward to reading the rest in a sensible order
I’m the biggest fan of TID but stopped reading due to being too busy. I’m so glad this book came out, I feel like it will help me get back into reading. I love love love the Victorian Era so this is super exciting to me. Might have to reread TID because I read it when it released which was years ago. I remember the story but forgot most details, so I feel like I need to reread it just to get back into it though I’m NOT looking forward to Will (don’t wanna spoil it) because wow, it was so sad! I cried so many tears.
you should do a video where you rank all the current shadowhunter books 😋 I haven’t even read further than the mortal instruments, but I love watching you rant about the books
This video made me so excited about Chain of Gold because the only series I finished was The Infernal Devices! Although I love cameos and knowing every single thing about the world so I want to read the rest of the series and be completely caught up before going to Chain of Gold. Someday I will...
I'm so excited because I got the good reads box where she signs and personalises the book and I'm SO EXCITED TO READ IT BUT I HAVE TO WAIT SOO LONG FOR SHIPPING
Hey Emma, I just wanted to tell you I appreciate your videos a lot and I really enjoy them but also your personality, you seem like a really fun and loving person to be around and I'm sure your friends are very lucky to know you! Keep up the good work!
I am so impressed you managed to convey all this information so concisely! I am so aboard the train of 'read all the books in publication order.' You get so much more about of the story!
I appreciate this! I love the novels but I can't get into the novellas and I bought Chain of Gold and Chain of Iron before I knew I had to read the short stories.
Every Exquisite Thing was also one of my favorite novellas! I'm excited for Chain of Gold and being able to see more of Anna Lightwood. For the giveaway, my Twitter username is bts_vinyl 😊
Way to excited for this release! I found shadow hunters during a really hard time and it has helped me so much💜 I can’t wait to have more of this amazing world to enjoy ❤️💕
Everyone should read the short stories released by cassandra clare on her tumblr and on the wikipedia page, you get great insight to the characters and their dynamic! Also tales from the shadowhunter academy and shadow market
I've been to 5 different bookstores in my country but I've yet to find this book :( I've been waiting for this book for 4 years and now that it's finally out I'm dying to get my hands on it!!!!
Omg, I'm so excited! I feel like we've been waiting so long for this release and now its finally here!!! For the giveaway, my insta is @spellbindingstories :)
I’m so excited for this release!!! Also that color is perfect on you, I also really enjoy that it matches the green on the cover of Chain of Gold For the five away my Instagram is: autumnsbooktique
I'm on a mission to read all of the Shadowhunter series this year. Definitely an ambitious goal, but this book release has really motivated me. Plus the cover is gorgeous. IG:@shek1029reads
I love your enthusiasm about the books and it is a nicely put video, very well done, but I feel like you gave away some spoilers.Things I wanted to discover myself.
I learned I need a flowchart to keep up with everyone in this book! But honestly, I've only read City of Bones but this video has me really hyped for Chain of Gold. I guess I need to finally read the entire series?!
Just love the whole Shadowhunter world and I'm so excited for Chain of Gold and happy that she's sharing so many creative interesting and moving stories and there will still be more books to come. 🤓📚🐛
Literally just got the collectors first edition of Chain Of Gold and I’m so excited as I’ve been reading shadowhunters since I was 14 or so (I’m about to be 20 this year so it’s been a bloody journey)! I was supposed to reread the series before it came out however, uni is really making me its bitch right now so, thanks for this video it was so helpful.
Thank you for this! I want to read the Infernal Devices so that I can read Chain of Gold, but I’m glad I don’t have to read the short stories if I don’t want to 😊🖤
I actually took notes when she explained the family relations because I read the first chapter and I didn't remember much from the Infernal Devices and I was like "WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE". So thanks hahaha
im reading annas story rn and before that i read mathews, i read the infernal devices and shadowhunter academy some years ago so i might read some summary of infernal devices ending :P
I read city of glass out loud to my granda and we finished it the night before he died with plans to continue the next morning. I lay on the floor that night just chatting away to him and i fell asleep at 5am at 520am my alarm went off so i could go to work and he was gone.He will be gone 6 years this year. I love when the new books come out but it also breaks my heart all over again that he cant continue in the shadow hunter world with me.
Omg i cant wait for chain of gold, i already preorder two copies (ops) the normal harback first edition collecters and also the beautiful waterstones edition, and since i dont live in neither uk and us, i might have to wait a little bit more than 2 weeks for my copy/copies... :( i might by a third paperback edition from my local library so i could read it sooner... i want to read this book so so much, and i really want to know more about cordelia, james, lucie, jesse and all the other characters but i find those the most interesting and somehow mysterious
@gchristina4shadow I am super excited to see where the series takes off to. I want to get back into reading because I’ve been swamped with my college classes and high school classes for a few months now so I can’t wait to pick up Chain of Gold!
I think a few months after the release of CoG I am finally ready to start it! Thank you Emma for summarizing everything I needed to know before starting it ^^
Thanks so much for this video 😊 I love how you breakdown everything shadowhunter! My pre-order should be coming really soon, and I cannot contain my excitement 🤩🥰
I received a sample of Chain of Gold in my owlcrate, but I've never read any books by CC, and now I am nervous bc you named so many characters with so many names 😂but this was actually very helpful and makes me want to pick it up!
I had a snow day yesterday and I legit spent 4-5 hours creating a big shadowhunter family tree because I just started ghosts of the shadowhunter market and I’m VERY confused 😂😂
I’m so sad. I got Chain of Gold today only to take it out of the box and find the front pages badly crumpled and folded with weird stains on it. Going to have to get another copy tomorrow.
