Julian is probably more scary than any of the other antagonists in this series because he will literally do anything to protect his siblings and now that Livvy's gone, I'm scared of what he's going to become.
Xk8rsx I think the Shadowhunter fandom is just a Zara Dearborn hate club and I love it. Someone tell Cassandra we're gonna make a book of all the ways Zara could die.
I think one of my favourite things about this book was seeing how much Alec has matured and gotten over his insecurities of dying and being forgotten. Alec was my favourite character from TMI and just seeing him get over that made me so happy
Cassandra needs to be careful. She could be arrested, because what she's doing is another form of emotional and mental abuse. Every time I finish a Shadowhunter book I'm like. me: the next book can't be as bad as this one. cassandra: JUST YOU WAIT
I was basically tears when I finished Lord of shadows, the reference made by Livvy about the clock moments before her death and then the last sentence of the book broke my heart 😭😭. I love your video and the background, I can't wait for the next book
Well "Shade" said that it wasn't his actual name, so I think he's Ragnor Fell because I saw somewhere that Ragnor was the only character that Cassie regretted killing so... 👀
the deaths in this book are just..... IM DEVASTATED. Im upset about Jon, Im so upset about Robert (I seriously am, he was trying so hard to be a good person! AND HE WAS THE ONLY CHANCE FOR JULES AND EMMA) And i cannot even believe that Livia is dead... You dont... YOU DONT KILL ONE OF THE TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!!! But great review, thank you so much!
My main theory coming out of Lord of Shadows is that the Fey are drawing from all the warlocks (without the warlocks knowing or consenting of course) to do their anti-shadowhunter spells and that's why they're all sick.
The satisfaction that you feel when Jesse's like, "If you haven't read this book, leave and read it because I'm about to do a spoilery review," and you're like, "Ha, thank god I've read that book." XD
Hey, I protect my books by keeping them out of direct sunlight (sunlight damages books), and I use a piece of paper and rest it on top of all my books to protect the pages from dust, you can fold the paper to size. If the corners of the covers on your paperbacks split, you can use some craft glue a tiny little dab of glue, and seal it back together!
1. I love it when Alec threatened to Zara that he would have Magnus turn her into a garbage fire XD 2. When Magnus returns from Kit, Ty, & Livvy and Alec just goes 'You woke the kids', like they are such parents!
OMG JESSE THE TIMING OF THIS VIDEO WAS SO PERFECT! I'm basically in mourning after reading this book even though I've been done for a while. Thank you! Also your little re-enactments of the scenes had me dying with laughter
I love the background of this video! I hated Zara and the Cohort too. I really loved the friendship between Ty, Kit, and Livvy and I'm shipping Ty and Kit so hard. I can't wait to see their relationship development in the next book. The ending wrecked me. I loved hearing your thoughts in this book! I'm sad we have to wait 2 years for the next book D:
This is mostly copy/pasted from Emma's video - first addendums from Christine's video in bold, second addendums from Hannah's (A Clockwork Reader's) video in italics. SPOILERS This book honestly like completely broke me. I loved Livvy and Robert (he honestly went through so much character development at the end of CoHF and during TSA and he's one of my faves honestly) and I was just so numb when they died (_Also isn't it simultaneously the cutest and most devastating thing ever that Robert has a mural of Alec on his wall? To me that's the symbol that shows just how far he's come and it makes his death even more heartbreaking_). This is probably the second most depressing ending to a book I've ever read (first place is _Half Lost_ by Sally Green). I was also pissed when Jon Cartwright died. Not especially sad, but really angry that it happened off-screen. The one thing that angered me most of all was how TESTIMONIES FROM CLARY AND KIT COULD HAVE SAVED THE TRIAL. Like Clary could be like "oh Raziel condemned and killed Valentine for his actions against downworlders" or Kit could explain the history of the Treaty of Versailles and the rise of the Nazi party and show how the Cohort was exactly the same. OR THEY COULD HAVE TRIED THAT FUCKING WASTE OF BREATH ZARA WITH THE MORTAL SWORD RATHER THAN ANNABEL. *Magnus could have saved the trial too. [Christine was] right.* Kitty is the cutest fucking thing ever and if they don't get together I will be pissed. ALSO THAT WARLOCK. SHADE. HE HAD GREEN SKIN. AXEL MORTMAIN'S FATHER, JONATHAN SHADE, WAS A WARLOCK WITH GREEN SKIN. BUT HE'S DEAD. SO WHAT'S GOING ON? *I ACTUALLY DIDN'T CONSIDER THAT IT MIGHT BE RAGNOR, I WAS TOO FOCUSED ON THE "SHADE" THING. BUT DOESN'T THAT SOUND LIKE A CLASSIC CASSANDRA CLARE MISDIRECTION? CHRISTINE [HAS] GIVEN ME HOPE THAT THE GRUMPY GREEN BABY IS ALIVE. THANK [HER].* Also I kinda want Cristina, Mark and Kieran to end up in a poly relationship. _Scratch the "kinda." I live for it._ I honestly expected the slaying of the Hunter to be the "sword of Wayland the Smith can cut through anything" thing but no she straight up destroyed the Mortal Sword. Bad. Ass. Is it just me or do you think that was meant to be a symbol that the old ways must be destroyed? _[Hannah was] right that a lot of people could be hunting Cortana though. That could be interesting._ Also Emma's gonna have hell to pay with six ancient hunters baying for her blood. I didn't think it would be possible to despise a character as much as I despise Zara, Erec and the Unseelie King. I'm also super worried about Adaon. *I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS UNTIL NOW, BUT JULIAN IS SO GONNA TRY AND RAISE LIVVY FROM THE DEAD. It's basically inevitable, right? (Sidenote, why are all of Cassandra Clare's recent projects about necromancy? TDA, TLH and the Magisterium series are all about raising the dead. Why?)* ALSO GWYN AND DIANA ARE SO CUTE WHAT THE HELL? _I had a completely random thought, but we_ know _that Kit's mother is important, and in fact recognisable to many people. What if it's the Seelie Queen? What if he is half-faerie? I don't think it's especially likely but it's a possibility._ _Every day I grow more convinced that the faerie boy is the son of Sebastian and the Seelie Queen, and that he is the weapon that Clary and Jace believe Sebastian left there. Also I foresee a future romance between him and Dru, because that's what Cassandra Clare does._ _I actually think Jules might be a sociopath - like a psychologically diagnosable one - because honestly after all that he's been through, it would make sense, and I honestly don't think that Cassandra Clare intended for there to be any more behind his actions than has been given. I mean it wouldn't be as unlikely as you'd think - one in twenty-five people has some form of sociopathy and Julian actually reminds me of one of my own characters, Callum, who is a sociopath._ _Kit, Mark, Ty and Kieran are my favourite characters in this entire world (except Magnus and Alec, though they're probably on par)._ _I also just wanted to say that I literally can't wait for The Lost Book of the White (the first book in the Malec trilogy)._
I totally feel the same about the ship between Gwyn and Diana, and loved all about her situation. I almost choked myself when all the final scenes happened like whaaaaaat, I didn't expected that at all. omgg I need more.
I cried a lot with Robert's death because he made his mistakes, he had his issues, but he was really trying to be a good man and to accept Alec. And he was very proud of his son.
Jesse, wait, what? Emma dreams about that Sebastian is her father?! Did I overread that? Where is this scene?!:D But I LOVED Lord of Shadows even when the ending was... I don't even want to think about this ending anymore... Can it please go away and be disappeared in the next book? So that the dead characters are alive again, please?
Cassandra wrote in the first book that parabatai is a word from greek language. I am greek and i still don't get how the word and greek are connected. I loved this book even though i think Lady Midnight was slightly better. edit: I just watched the previous video of jesse about Lady Midnight . Now I think Lord of shadows was better.
"IM SO SAD ABOUT IT!" *he says while smiling 😂 I was just so numb at the end of this book especially for robert bc hes finally so proud and loving and accepting of alec, and magnus is sick and i just...I CANT!!! SO. MANY. THINGS. happened in this story im reading it again to let all the agony really sink in
Loved this video and the backdrop!! It's been less than an hour since I finished LoS.... Those last ten pages were rough. Livvy and Robert... I cried so much D:I loved all the sarcasm/witty banter in the book though, and obviously it was incredible!! Anywhoooooooo, thanks for a wonderful book talk!! :)
I already knew that Livvy dies cuz of an annoying classmate. But i still cried. A lot. And (kind of a QoAaD spoiler) i shipped Gwiana sooo hard and when Gywn told Diana that he loved her i wanted to cry happy tears!!
I really enjoyed your review!! I've read all of Cassandra Clare's books, they're absolutely amazing. I always watch Christine Riccio's book reviews but I am going to watch yours from now on as well!
I finished this book last night and saw this today. Still feel emotional a bit. That ending! I ❤️ Ty, Emma, Julian (even if he is ruthless - he loves too hard and he is ruthless even with himself) Kit Is growing on me so is Diana and Gwyn. I always loved Christina, Mark and Kieran. There relationship is so interesting to me. This was the best book In the series so far. Very developed and I am glad I actually bought it because I usually just wait for the library copy. Good job on the background! :)
My fav momement was when stupid zara told Alec something like "It's funny that Magnus is dying before you" and Alec gave a wonderful speech about how he dealt with Magnus's inmortality, how he accepted it and that he felt happy and lucky that someone would look after his son for ever and love him and remember him till' the end of times.
idk why but like every time gywn would be there and would like flirt or court Dianna i just couldnt stop laughing then id like die of happiness bc theyre so cute like omg
I think that may have Emma some king Faerie ancestry because her dad loved to play the violin and faeries love music 🤔🤔. And she did say at times she felt drawn to Mark maybe it was due to that since their relationship is purely platonic...
I loved how Lord of Shadows kept me guessing. Shall we start a I hate Zara club? I just want to throttle her. I think Lord of Shadows is the eleventh book in the Shadowhunter Chronicles.
YESS JESSE LOVE THOSE THEORIES!! Still so shook over Robert's death because he had just started to accept Alec and he looked like he was actually going to be a good grandparent ALSO Livvy's death will destroy Julian! SPEAKING OF THE SEELIE QUEEN...when they first arrived I totally hoped (though I didn't really think it would happen again) that the Seelie Queen would pull the same move she did on Jace and Clary and force Emma and Julian to kiss in order for everyone to leave and they could confront their feelings for each other like ugh I ship them too much!!!! CANNOT WAIT TWO YEARS GAHHH
Oml can you pleaseeeeeeee do a video on how to set up/how you got all the posters/pictures, it would make my dayyy! Also, I literally just finished LOS and I am crying so hard why would she do this!
Jesse, here is a theory to think about. Remember the guy Shade that saved Kit, Ty and Liv. After reading Clockwork Princess, we hear about John Shade, The Magister's "father" who wanted to get revenge on shadowhunters. That or Shade is really Ragnor Fell who did not die and is just really nice. Also, loved the vid! One of my favorite booktubers!
Oh man, the moment Magnus pass out in the trial I started shaking. I knew something was up, and then I was a ball of tears. I suspected that one of the Blackthorns was going to die, but still was a shock ! And reading about all the family breaking down, and Julian calling her break my little heart in pieces. Everything is going to be soooo mess up in the next book, but I'm adamant that Cortana could cut the parabatai bond between Emma and Julian, specially now that it break the Mortal Sword. At least that gives me hope (?
It isn't a Cassandra Clare series without Magnus walking in on the protagonists having sex
Did he walk in on anyone in TMI? I can't remember....
Little White Bookshelf he walked in on Clary and jace I think. and Alec walked in on Simón and Izzy 😂
sergio vela And Simon walked in on Alec and Magnus. 😂
and in TID he walked in on Tess and Will 😂😂😂😂
I liked what he said when he burst through the door. He said exactly what I was thinking why weren't they answering their phones.
i need to build myself a shadowhunter shrine all the cool kids have one
Katytastic hahaha join themmm
Katytastic same
me too
Katytastic so Christine and Jesse are the cool kids?;)
Katytastic same
Julian is probably more scary than any of the other antagonists in this series because he will literally do anything to protect his siblings and now that Livvy's gone, I'm scared of what he's going to become.
Zara should have been given the Mortal Sword...then all her tea would be spilled.
Xk8rsx I think the Shadowhunter fandom is just a Zara Dearborn hate club and I love it. Someone tell Cassandra we're gonna make a book of all the ways Zara could die.
Xk8rsx Basically, Zara Dearborn is the Dolores Umbridge of The Dark Artifices
Reyla Batongbakal Umbrige was good villian, Zara is dull
I think one of my favourite things about this book was seeing how much Alec has matured and gotten over his insecurities of dying and being forgotten. Alec was my favourite character from TMI and just seeing him get over that made me so happy
YES! His speech to Zara at the end made me tear up he has truly come so far
I agree! I loved the speech he gave to Zara about how he dealt the imortality issue.
I'm totally shipping Ty and Kit
Same!!!!
Yesss totally
OMG THEY ARE LIKE MY OTP AND I JUST WANTED A KISS BUT WHEN KIT WAS SQUEEZING/HUGGING TY IT WAS KIND OF BETTER.
Dan K. SAME BUT IVE HEARD THEYRE GOING TO BE PARABATAI AND SO I SCREAMED
SSSAAAAMMMEEEEEEEEEE THEY R THE CUTEST THING AAFBDHEWBRBRYIEBFEIQ
Can we talk about Alex defending his and Magnus's relationship at the end when Zara starts being rude! That gave me all the feels
Zoe T I read it over twice because Alec is frickin amazing in that scene
"i'm not going to mention Zara in this video"
*mentions Zara like...ten times*
classic jesse 😂
WondrousPages ikr😂 and that is why we like him(jesse)
Jesse's thoughts on Zara: "She doesn't even go here!"😂😂😂
Cassandra needs to be careful. She could be arrested, because what she's doing is another form of emotional and mental abuse. Every time I finish a Shadowhunter book I'm like.
me: the next book can't be as bad as this one.
cassandra: JUST YOU WAIT
I feel you sooo much! Every time!!
Lady Midnight: shattered my heart
Lord of Shadows: drowned in my own tears
Queen of Air and Darkness: DIED
LoS was my death so I think QoAaD is going to be my funeral.
Miška Burandová 😂
Has he reviewed Queen of Air and Darkness?
I was basically tears when I finished Lord of shadows, the reference made by Livvy about the clock moments before her death and then the last sentence of the book broke my heart 😭😭. I love your video and the background, I can't wait for the next book
World of stories OMG the clock reference killed me, I drowned in my own tears😭😭😭
Baily Hill Sometimes Cassie can be cruel but I still love her 😅😅
World of stories omg!! I'm so glad someone else was just as pained by this 😭
WHAT THE FUCK STOP SPOILING (i alr finished the book but this is for people who haven’t)
i was too fucked up to notice this :( The last chapter was a crazy ride
Mortmain's dad was a green warlock called John Shade. In the Shadow Market there was a green skinned warlock called Shade. LIKE WHAT!!!
Well "Shade" said that it wasn't his actual name, so I think he's Ragnor Fell because I saw somewhere that Ragnor was the only character that Cassie regretted killing so... 👀
I read a theory that said that he might be tessa undercover. In one of the books mortmain made her turn into his dead father. So the guy is dead.
A Homo sapien well now Ragnor is fucking alive and I need an explanation😂
the deaths in this book are just..... IM DEVASTATED. Im upset about Jon, Im so upset about Robert (I seriously am, he was trying so hard to be a good person! AND HE WAS THE ONLY CHANCE FOR JULES AND EMMA) And i cannot even believe that Livia is dead... You dont... YOU DONT KILL ONE OF THE TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But great review, thank you so much!
LeonaVolova Cassandra Clare is freaking heartless. 💔
Maybe J K Rowling and Cassandra Clare set up a “kill the twins” club. I honestly think that. I would go to hell and back to save Livvy and Fred!!!!!
Jesse
Ur theories
I am shooketh
LOLOL.
😂😂😂
I can't wait to see Kit and Ty in TWP!!!
They should get a spin off,
Where Stephanie Reads They're literally getting a whole ass trilogy.
THAT BACKGROUND THOUGH. THAT BACKGROUND.
My main theory coming out of Lord of Shadows is that the Fey are drawing from all the warlocks (without the warlocks knowing or consenting of course) to do their anti-shadowhunter spells and that's why they're all sick.
That's a great theory!
Ohhhh this theory is real good
I like this one
Oh I haven't thought about that! 😱
IzzyisaMaiREADING I totally agree with that ,i knew someone is making them sick and it must be the fey and the crave is busy infighting.
The satisfaction that you feel when Jesse's like, "If you haven't read this book, leave and read it because I'm about to do a spoilery review," and you're like, "Ha, thank god I've read that book." XD
Ariba Tariq Yas. He uploaded and I had to finish LOS so I could watch it.
IKR! 😂😂
My favorite moment was when Sophie was giggling about the scones and all the other sort of infernal devices moments with Jessamine
Jesse please make a video on how protecting paperback books please
Hey, I protect my books by keeping them out of direct sunlight (sunlight damages books), and I use a piece of paper and rest it on top of all my books to protect the pages from dust, you can fold the paper to size. If the corners of the covers on your paperbacks split, you can use some craft glue a tiny little dab of glue, and seal it back together!
VN nithish I usually put plastic covers on them. I have a friend who uses transparent contact paper as plastic covers
I finished lord of shadows at around 2 in the morning ... I then cried in bed until 4am .. poor livvy
Rebecca Brennan omg I finished it at 4am!😂
1. I love it when Alec threatened to Zara that he would have Magnus turn her into a garbage fire XD
2. When Magnus returns from Kit, Ty, & Livvy and Alec just goes 'You woke the kids', like they are such parents!
I WANNA WATCH THIS VIDEO SO BAD BUT I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF READING THIS SO IMMA THUMBS IT UP AND COME BACK AT NIGHT IM SORRY JESSE
Idk what character I hate more right now : Zara from L.O. S. Or Dolores from Harry Potter 🤔
Jesse is the first person I have heard say Jaime's name right 😂
OMG JESSE THE TIMING OF THIS VIDEO WAS SO PERFECT! I'm basically in mourning after reading this book even though I've been done for a while. Thank you! Also your little re-enactments of the scenes had me dying with laughter

I'm still shook TBH. Livy, Robert- I can't freaking deal
"in my head as i was reading this book, i was just like *'you don't even go here'*"
*i am cackling so hard rn i can't even oml*
YOUR BACKGROUND IS GOALS OMG. Also, I'm not saying Shade is Ragnor, but Shade is Ragnor and nobody can convince me otherwise.
I totally feel the same about the ship between Gwyn and Diana, and loved all about her situation. I almost choked myself when all the final scenes happened like whaaaaaat, I didn't expected that at all. omgg I need more.
Thank you for pronouncing jaime the way you did! i thought i was the only one!
Random Riley I always thought Jaime was like Jamie but maybe I'm wrong because I never even thought to pronounce it like that. Omg i need to know lol
I need to find a guy who can eagerly listen to my rants and reviews everytime I finish good books like Cassandra Clare's 😂😂
Can we talk about the fact that the clock chimed when Livvy died?! Or the Alec growth about Magnus' immortality?
I cried a lot with Robert's death because he made his mistakes, he had his issues, but he was really trying to be a good man and to accept Alec. And he was very proud of his son.
All I can think about is that today is Father's Day and Alec would be super devastated right now 😭
Jesse, wait, what? Emma dreams about that Sebastian is her father?! Did I overread that? Where is this scene?!:D
But I LOVED Lord of Shadows even when the ending was... I don't even want to think about this ending anymore... Can it please go away and be disappeared in the next book? So that the dead characters are alive again, please?
It's the first paragraph of chapter 22 on pg. 480
jessethereader thank you!😄
Plz do a vid on Queen of air and darkness!!!!!!
"STAY AWAY FROM OUR KITKAT!"
oh my how i have waited for this....
Cassandra wrote in the first book that parabatai is a word from greek language. I am greek and i still don't get how the word and greek are connected.
I loved this book even though i think Lady Midnight was slightly better.
edit: I just watched the previous video of jesse about Lady Midnight . Now I think Lord of shadows was better.
"IM SO SAD ABOUT IT!" *he says while smiling 😂
I was just so numb at the end of this book especially for robert bc hes finally so proud and loving and accepting of alec, and magnus is sick and i just...I CANT!!! SO. MANY. THINGS. happened in this story im reading it again to let all the agony really sink in
I feel the feels you're feeling. Kit Herondale is my spirit animal
Zara is basically the Dolores Umbridge of The Dark Artifices.
I love TDA and this video was everything . You spoke all the thoughts I had while reading LOS
I NEED that table. Like yesterday. 😍
6:51 wow jesse is really good at seal impressions
I just want Emma and Julian to be together! Ugh! I've cried over this too much! Cassie Clare hit me right in the feels with this whole book!
I also love kit ❤️❤️❤️
is anyone not going to talk about the titanic reference and seasonal allergies thing? it was sooo cute
thanks for the great review
Loved this video and the backdrop!! It's been less than an hour since I finished LoS.... Those last ten pages were rough. Livvy and Robert... I cried so much D:I loved all the sarcasm/witty banter in the book though, and obviously it was incredible!! Anywhoooooooo, thanks for a wonderful book talk!! :)
I already knew that Livvy dies cuz of an annoying classmate. But i still cried. A lot. And (kind of a QoAaD spoiler) i shipped Gwiana sooo hard and when Gywn told Diana that he loved her i wanted to cry happy tears!!
I really enjoyed your review!! I've read all of Cassandra Clare's books, they're absolutely amazing. I always watch Christine Riccio's book reviews but I am going to watch yours from now on as well!
Ty and Kit are actually going to be the focus of the magic powers series!
Madeline Hull Yass I ship them so hard lmao
I finished this book last night and saw this today. Still feel emotional a bit. That ending! I ❤️ Ty, Emma, Julian (even if he is ruthless - he loves too hard and he is ruthless even with himself) Kit Is growing on me so is Diana and Gwyn. I always loved Christina, Mark and Kieran. There relationship is so interesting to me. This was the best book In the series so far. Very developed and I am glad I actually bought it because I usually just wait for the library copy. Good job on the background! :)
How can such an amazing book destroy and left you in pieces? 😭😭
Oh the feels!!! Literally teared up with you, still SO upset... ! Two years until the next one ARGHHHHH you feel my pain right!?
I was crying so bad when I finished the book and I walked into my dads room crying and he was like "did you finish the book" and I was like "yeah"
Also are we going to forget the most important part of the book... KIT AND TY'S BUDDING ROMANCE
Man, I finished the book at 4 am and was a sobbing MESS when everyone in my house was sleeping.
I'm so curious, Jesse, where'd you get the tarot cards from? I'm in love! 😍
Jesse, that shirt looks really good on you!
I love your backdrop. It's so Angelic. Lol. I was REAL WORRIED when reading LoS and got to the Magnus part. I clutched my invisible pearls
My fav momement was when stupid zara told Alec something like "It's funny that Magnus is dying before you" and Alec gave a wonderful speech about how he dealt with Magnus's inmortality, how he accepted it and that he felt happy and lucky that someone would look after his son for ever and love him and remember him till' the end of times.
10:04 I had to stop the video to laugh hysterically because... I just can't even. XD
I love how Jesse is just rambling like he's high in this video. I love it. It's adorable.
I'm trying to finish another book before I start this. So I only watched the non-spoilery section. I just want to say that I love the set behind you.
Glad you made this review ! Love the background ❤
idk why but like every time gywn would be there and would like flirt or court Dianna i just couldnt stop laughing then id like die of happiness bc theyre so cute like omg
That close up of the tarot card of Livy being "The Protector" at 14:49 actually broke me
I think that may have Emma some king Faerie ancestry because her dad loved to play the violin and faeries love music 🤔🤔. And she did say at times she felt drawn to Mark maybe it was due to that since their relationship is purely platonic...
Jesse this review was awesome! I'm waiting for your Queen of Air ans Darkness video!
it brought me so much joy every time Zara got dissed in the book. Diana's roast was too savage, it was great!! we need more of that in the next book.
I definitely fell in love with Julian ❤️❤️
Can we just talk about Livvy's last words? 😭 "Ty. Ty I-" Why? Just why?
Kit kat is adorable
I loved how Lord of Shadows kept me guessing. Shall we start a I hate Zara club? I just want to throttle her. I think Lord of Shadows is the eleventh book in the Shadowhunter Chronicles.
YESS JESSE LOVE THOSE THEORIES!! Still so shook over Robert's death because he had just started to accept Alec and he looked like he was actually going to be a good grandparent ALSO Livvy's death will destroy Julian! SPEAKING OF THE SEELIE QUEEN...when they first arrived I totally hoped (though I didn't really think it would happen again) that the Seelie Queen would pull the same move she did on Jace and Clary and force Emma and Julian to kiss in order for everyone to leave and they could confront their feelings for each other like ugh I ship them too much!!!! CANNOT WAIT TWO YEARS GAHHH
Oml can you pleaseeeeeeee do a video on how to set up/how you got all the posters/pictures, it would make my dayyy! Also, I literally just finished LOS and I am crying so hard why would she do this!
Oh my gosh, my name is in this book.
Jesse, here is a theory to think about. Remember the guy Shade that saved Kit, Ty and Liv. After reading Clockwork Princess, we hear about John Shade, The Magister's "father" who wanted to get revenge on shadowhunters. That or Shade is really Ragnor Fell who did not die and is just really nice. Also, loved the vid! One of my favorite booktubers!
Totally amazing! Julian really gave me creeps!
"I could make a 2 hour video about how much I despise her."
SAME
SAME!
Also I love your book reviews! They're hilarious.
"We now interrupt this program for an emergency as the institute is invaded by sea demons"
FINALLY. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!❤❤❤
[Carole & Tuesday] 'mermaid sisters song' explains my feelings for Zara's every sentence in the book.
Jesse saying "dIANNA" at 8:46 gives me so much life
2:52 to 3:18 my feeling exactly
ive been waiting for this bc i cant move on
I can't stop thinking that it's the evil Sebastian baby
I'M HALF WAY INTO LORD OF SHADOWS AND IM SCARED TO FINISH IT AHHHHH
I just finished the book and I don't know how to deal with life right now 😦. Those last pages are soaked in my tears 😭.
why is this so insanely relatable?
Oh man, the moment Magnus pass out in the trial I started shaking. I knew something was up, and then I was a ball of tears. I suspected that one of the Blackthorns was going to die, but still was a shock ! And reading about all the family breaking down, and Julian calling her break my little heart in pieces. Everything is going to be soooo mess up in the next book, but I'm adamant that Cortana could cut the parabatai bond between Emma and Julian, specially now that it break the Mortal Sword. At least that gives me hope (?
first...OMG the book is so good I just finished it two hours ago
You're theories are are fire! Love your videos. Livvy's death- I was shook, oh my Lord I can't, I can't! What is your favourite ship?
finally..been waiting for this 😊
OMG it was so frustrating for me not to be in the book and not be able to pluck hair by hair from Zara's head until she remained blad.
