Cassandra Clare shares new information about ‘Queen of Air and Darkness’

In addition to sharing the Queen of Air and Darkness chapter titles yesterday, Cassandra Clare also did a rather extensive Q&A for the last book in her The Dark Artifices trilogy. I had a look at her tumblr and collected the most important pieces of information. I’m pretty sure some will cause quite an uproar.

• The book is 893 pages long (including the ‘sequel’ to A Long Conversation).
• Cassie suffered a lot when she was writing Queen of Air and Darkness. On a scale from 1 to 10: “10. I thought I might die. 🙂“
• A Shadowhunter will kill another Shadowhunter.
• We will find out what the Dark Artifices are. Cassie said “they aren’t precisely objects.”
• The effects of the parabatai curse will cause a physical change in Emma and Julian.
• It will be a “big deal” that the Mortal Sword is broken.
• “The warlock sickness does become more serious.”
• It is possible that Kit and Ash are related.
• Cameron Ashdown will surprise everyone in QoAaD.
• Information about the Blackthorns:
  – Helen will meet Kieran.
  – “Mark and Helen definitely have some thoughtful and serious time together.”
  – The Blackthorns, especially Dru, will have a good relationship with Aline. No hard feelings because of the frittata incident. 😉
• The epilogue is set about two weeks after the last chapter.
• The epilogue is from the Seelie Queen’s point of view!
