The last two days made me even more excited for City of Heavenly Fire! 93 days to go!
TMI Source 
Super Excited for CoHF!! Only 3 more months to go!!!!! 😀 ❤
I’m not sure how I feel about her answer to Alec loving Magnus. I don’t see any of Alec’s actions as him trying to piss of his parents.
exactly. i just felt like there’s a bomb somewhere. but we’ll find out in cohf
Yes! This makes me feel kind of sad. I mean, he’s not a character who’s constantly seeking vengeance, unless someone’s done something wrong to his family. Ugh I am very very bugged by that.
I don’t think Alec’s such a person… well unless you count that minute scene in the tunnel where he was set out to kill Camille (only to be disappointed)
OMG a malec reunion????? Thank u caddie?
What does she mean she Had trouble writing the death of W.H???????????who does she kill????Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! I can’t wait any longer fot CoHF
I’m very sure she meant Will Herondale in Clockwork Princess.
William Herondale. There’s no other character with W.H. in it.
wh is will herondale
@hannah i’m pretty sure she just meant will in tid
Ok phew…..sorry for freeking out 😳. Wills death was really sad though I cried for like a week… 😭
Thx guys
“Sebastian was the dark reflection of Jace. (…)” WAS? What does it mean?
And there is another one you haven’t put in the post: “TDA begins with Sebastian, for that reason I guess he is not amongst the ones to die in CoHF.” (link: http://bit.ly/1mAg5Kz)
So… he WAS dark reflection of Jace and TDA begins with Sebastian. Is that mean he won’t die and become, em, good?
Cassie what are you doing to us?! I don’t know what to think!
I didn’t mention this one because the girl form TMI Mexico wasn’t sure if Cassie meant City of Heavenly Fire or The Dark Artifices.
i heard sebastian isnt gonna die so i dont think she purposely wrote that.. apparently he will be in tda
“Tessa and Jem will definitevely get back together in CoHF and in TDA, but remember that she is immortal and he isn’t.”
I was a little worried before that Tessa and Jem might be killed off in CoHF. So I am happy to hear they will be in TDA. Cassie already said that there are going to be two weddings in CoHF, I hope this means Tessa and Jem is one of them. Also I hope that means that Jem will meet his relations (Carstairs) in TDA. I just don’t want to read about his eventual death.
That tweet on Magnus forgiving Alec i have a feeling will be when one of them dies!
On Sebastian:: i believe she is going to give us a kind of redeemable Sebastian, looking for acceptance and for “love” and i dont want that, i want him dead, he has done too much and will do more, she better not try to shove a “good ” Sebastian on our faces at the end…
CoA Movie: Damn .. i already lost all hope on my favorite Book of the saga turning into a movie D:
Reblogged this on Avid Reader and commented:
Ooooh! Juicy stuff just came out that has me dying right now. I want COHF now! Roaaaar. 😦
Sebby gonig around and kidnapping o.o Yep, he does just about everything under the sun it seems. Ah well, still love him ❤
omg now my urge to get CoHF has grown so much more
“Why did Izzy and Alec fall in love with immortals? – For Alec it’s about being able to piss off his parents, dating a warlock.” <—wow. wow just wow great way to drop a bomb cassie. i'm still curious but maybe you shouldn't have dropped that bomb and saved it for last. that's a major spoiler
I’m wondering if she meant Izzy,,, Would make more sense. If Alec was dating Magnus to piss of his parents, The entire book would make no sense at all. How can he piss them off if his parents don’t even know about it till middle of book 3. And his actions to be with magnus forever is a step to far to piss off ones parents. That way the entire question is odd. Some think it was joke, but idk.
It startled and bothered me quite a lot given that the dynamics of Alec and Magnus’ relationship really hits close to home (minus the supernatural setting) so to read this was… wow. I do hope it was a typo.
Cannot wait for city of heavenly fire!
People complaining about SPOILERS from the books that ‘re already published…. umm… we already know Alex falls in love with a warlock. Malec is one of the most shipped couples in TMI. I’m more freaked out by the comments Caddie made regarding the deaths that will occur in CoHF. I’m very worried about my Clace. Cannot wait for is book.
*Alec
My kindle keeps correcting me when I don’t need it to. ALEC. NOT. ALEX. I’LL
Reblogged this on She reads she blogs and commented:
More exciting shadowhunters news! Cassandra Clare’s Mexico City Q&A.
So, if I’m getting this right, CC just said that at the start of CoHF Seb is abducting children for his dark army, he goes to the LA Institute and possibly Emma’s parents are killed protecting their kids, the Julian is trials by the sword because he was there. OMG DID SHE REALLY INDIRECTLY TELL US ALL THAT??!
Jonathan wants someone to love him… gosh, he’s like a shakespearian character.
Yes, yes she did
I CAN’T WAIT ANY LONGER!!!!!!
I ❤ Clace, Malec, Sizzy. Don't kill them off
and don't get rid of clarys parents either (luke)
and I do kinda like sebastion as well so at least let him fall in love THEN die
I don’t want to be mean but am I the only one who doesn’t like the idea of Jem and Tessa being together? I have loved both characters since TID and the relationship they had but to be honest, everytime I think of Tessa the only man I can see next to her is the adorable William Herondale as her true love 😦 I know Jem is wonderful and his story and his love for Tess too but I don’t know guys … Anyway, CoHF is gonna be a master piece like the previous books and I CAN’T WAIT TO READ IT 🙂 🙂 🙂
Same! I kind of really hated the epilogue of CP2. I love their friendship, but I never liked when they were in a relationship. You are like the first person I’ve met who thinks like I do!
I totally agree!! Jem is nice and a perfect friend but Will is the only one for her… I just can’t se the two of them together. And besides I’m kind of crying every time I just think about the epilogue in CP3… Even though it’s been a half year since I read it for the first time…
is anyone else waiting to pre-order the signed copies?! i havent pre-ordered mine cuz im waiting for the signed copies to be available!
That’s what I’m doing because I’m afraid if I pre-order it I won’t get a signed copy.
OMG, I can’t believe it. The spoilers are KILLING ME
**gun up to head**
Lmao Dont do it! *takes your gun* Nephilim dont use guns….*smh* for shame. *gives you seraph blade.* that’s better =)
I swear once I get my hands on a copy of CoHF I will not be seen by anyone for however long it takes me to read it. Leave food at bedroom door and don’t disturb 🙂
wait whaaaat? what did she mean alec is dating magnus to piss off his parents??? thats kinda messed up:/ that makes it sound like he was just dating mags for that reason and he doesnt truly love him, yea i didnt like that response at all
OMG!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOO PLEASE NOT THE SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!! NOW I REALLY NEED TO READ THE BOOK!!!!!!!!! 3 MONTHS IS TOO LONG!!!!!!!!!!! Sebastian!!!!! kidnapping the children and make them like him and add them to the army thats madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guys…. chill out XDD She was joking about the reason Alec loves a warlock. We know for a fact he’s in love with him. She was goofing around because you can’t help who you fall for.
“As soon as I created the characters I knew which would die. Some characters will die, some that we will not expect.” I think that she was talking about Alec and Simon, because in CoB they both almost die and you wouldn’t think to have her kill off characters who she saved in the very first book. Idk, that’s just my personal oppion. to each there own.
Honestly we need a new snippet from CoHF. Please Cassie * On hands and knees* we need something to get us through the next 86 days of waiting
