    Maybe Alec likes Brother Zachariah? Cause they found out who he is?

    That is hilarious! It’s probably that they saw Brother Zachariah as how he really looks for the first time. This book will be hilarious, heart-wrenching, and a fantastic book in general!

  3. Jem and Tessa come back to help I assume, or they all go to London and meet them there.

    • Ummm…. I don’t want to seem like a b**** over here, but I don’t want Tessa to be with Jem. She belongs with Will even if he is dead. I wish I didn’t read the epilogue in Clockwork Princess… totally made me depressed. I love Will and it’s soooo sad that he’s dead. Dead for a while now.

      • It’s not wrong to dislike the ship Jem/Tessa, but just remember that a lot of fans were hoping they would be together, I know i did. Tessa loved them both and she gets to be with both, so I’m really happy she ends up with him.

      • I am totally with I was so upset when I read the epilogue.

  4. YES! YES! YES! YES! We will get to hear more about Jem! and Tessa! because he wouldn’t go anywhere without Tessa!!!!

    • But remember, the epilogu
      e takes place at the END of CoHF or AFTER

      • No it doesn’t it fits perfectly well. Because in the epilogue of CP Tessa says she saw Magnus in Alicante a few months ago. She’s talking about City of Glass where Clary sees them talk in the epilogue. So their Meeting could be before CoHF. I don’t really know how much time passed between CoG and CoHF…

  5. Soooooo Jem is free from of his alliance with the Brotherhood before the end of the book? Ooooh 😀

  6. yea means that jem’s turning back at the end of the book and that assuming Izzy’s gonna stay alive, this conversation will take place near the end after the shadowhunters find out about brother Zachariah.

    • Why at the end of the book… could be that Gem is back, looking like his Shadowhunter self right from the beginning. I hope so anyway.

      • TEAMHERONDALE // June 8, 2013 at 1:44 PM //

        Jem*

      • Jem’s meeting with Tessa takes place in the beginning of the year 2008 the year following TMI’s COHF’s events. Also COHF takes place near the end of the year 2007 or midway through winter or fall… it’s only going to be reasonable for Jem to turn back into Jem during, say the last battle against Sebby boy, takes his time to recover from the change in his being, fix his situation with the silent brothers, then join Tessa as soon as he can which will be in winter (or was it spring?) 2008. I’m saying Jem HAS to turn at the end of the book or near the end anyway…

  7. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG IS THIS HOW HE BECAME HISELF?!?! THIS IS AMAZING I REALLY WANT TO READ THIS AHHH

    HOLY CRAP!! I KNEW JEM WAS GOING TO BE IN THE BOOK IM GOING TO D-I-E OF CHARACTER HOTNESS!! But…. On the downside I’m pretty sure this book is going to make me sad. OH AND TESSA(if she’s in the book)MIGHT GET ALL JEALOSE AND…… I don’t know where I was going with that.

    • Lena Grace // June 8, 2013 at 2:28 PM // Reply

      I don’t think Tessa will be in CoHF. If she was, she wouldn’t have *SPOILER* been shocked to see Jem in the CP2 epilogue.

  10. This is probably because brother revealed what he actually looked liked when he was a teen!!!!!!

  11. Yay!! I’m so happy that Cassie is writing Tessa and Jem into the book!! Jem is my absolute favourite character from the series 😀 Ah how are we supposed to wait until 2014?!

  12. OMG JEM ILY *O*

    I would love to see Will appear in CoHF, but that’s highly unlikely (although I have thought of solutions), so the next best thing is JEM !!!! OMG SO FREAKING EXCITED !!! we get to see Jessa !!! Uh oh , here come the feeeeeeels </3 SO. MUCH. SUSPENSE.

    • Like in a flashback? When Jem becomes himself again he’ll definitely miss his parabatai and his shadowhunting life, plus howMAJORLY AWESOME would be CC if she gave as a little more Will? 🙂

    i keep thinking he`s the same brother Zachariah (jem) from the infernal devices

  15. JEM!!!!! !! !

  16. KikiLOVESJace // June 8, 2013 at 2:20 PM // Reply

    Magnus must have given brother Zachiarh the cure to his illness,because he was the one in clockwork princess who’d was trying to come up with the cure. Then he takes the cure and becomes his normal self again. That’s how I put it.

  17. Omg how am I supposed to wait until 2014?!!

  18. JEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Izzy, careful now, *SPOILER* that’s your adoptive brother’s great great great grandma’s boyfriend~ Things could get awkward XD

  19. According to the end of clckwork princess, isn’t it jace and clary etc that discover how jem can live without his drug – hopefully that is what the book will be about!

    • The book will be about many things but the main plotline is trying to stop Sebastian’s hatred and the biggest war ever fought apocalypse like. Expect Archangels and Greater Demons in the mix – that’s what I’m hoping for.
      Supernatural seasons 4, 5, gr8and definitely 9 anyone? 😉

  20. So much FEELS! I can’t wait for this book! Come on 2014 come faster. In CP2 epilogue, Jem tells Tessa about the new generation of Lightwoods, a Fairchild, and a Herondale.

  21. My brother complained that my squeal hurt his ears. WHY, CASSANDRA CLARE, WHY MUST YOU TORTURE ME LIKE THIS?

  22. OMG! I literally freaked out 😀 and silently squealed. EEEEEEEH

  23. So wait…. Tessa might be in this book??????? GAHHHHHHH

    • I don’t know why everyone’s keep expecting Tessa to be in CoHF. I’d love it too, but what I’m most expecting is seeing both Tessa and Jem on TDA actively, not just in cameos (like in CoG) or in the sidelines.
      And judging by CP2 epilogue, she seems pretty much clueless or conspicuously silent about what transends in CoHF,maybe it’s a trick by CC to surprise us?

  24. AAAHHH!!!!!! SO EXCITED!!!!! I THINK I MIGHT JUST DIE FROM ALL THE SUSPENSE!!!!!! 😀

  25. I am DYING right about now…e-e

  26. So little words so much anticipation.

  27. TeamEdwardJace // June 8, 2013 at 8:09 PM // Reply

    oh izzy. and i’m guessing everyone sees jem for what he really is? so maybe tessa makes an apperance! cannot wait! i want to see some clace snippet and ones where maybe clary tells jace what sebastian trying totried to do her and jace goes ballistic over sebastian and tries to protect her

    • I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT!!! I CAN JUST IMAGINE THE TOTAL RAGE COMING OFF JACE AND HIM BURSTING INTO FLAMES!!!

    jemjemjemjemjemjemjemjemjemjemjemjemjemjem!!!!! yeah!!! XD

  41. But… it will come out in one year’s time. It must be in the middle of the book. Maybe he hasn’t turn Jem again. Maybe it’s something else.

  42. aww man, this is gonna be amazing. What if Alec falls for him LOL, but I do hope that Alec and Magnus get back together. It hurts so much after the break up.
    And also may be the last shadowhunter book I’ll read. I don’t think I want to read TDA or the trilogy about Wessa.

  43. Phoenix Herondale // June 10, 2013 at 11:40 PM // Reply

    I loved Jem soooo much. So I’m pretty sure this will put me in a melancholy mood :/

  44. *includes Clockwork Princess spoilers* I think its pretty obvious that this is when she sees him after the transformation back to Jem.

  45. Hight Worlock of Oakey // August 5, 2013 at 7:18 AM // Reply

    I love him hes so hot!!!!

  46. I just, i, i, i can’t even… JEM! YOU’RE BACK! I FREAKING LOVE YOU! BY THE ANGEL! THE FEELS ARE TOO MUCH JUST KNOWING THAT YOU’RE COMING BACK! BY THE ANGEL RAZIEL! JAMES F**ING CARSTAIRS AND TESSA GRAY (herondale) ARE FREAKING BACK YAYAYAYAYAY! CASSIE I LOVE YOU BUT WHY TORTURE US?! whyyyyy??

  47. I’m quite sure tessa does not figure in CoHF as in the epilogue of CP2 when she meets jem she is quite surprised about him being normal
    again and when she asked about him he says that it’s just another story of ‘lightwoods, herondales and fairchilds’ which implies that tessa has no idea about the events of CoHF…

  48. Jem Jem Jem Jem Jem
    I don’t know if he will be a silent brother but still…awesomeness
    And can I have a scene with Tessa and Alex (b/c he looks like Will)
    And a scene between her and Jace ( great x 10^? Grandma)
    YaY
    Ok I’m gonna stop obsessing now

  49. O. M. G. I really hope that 2014 will come soon, how can I wait? I wanna see why Isabelle made that comment and Clary’s reaction when she saw Tessa, if Jace ever finds out that Will is his ancestor, and a million billion trillion kazillion other things that are gonna happen in CoHF!!! Please 2014 come soon…
