i literally can’t comprehend why ANYONE would want james & grace together
I agree but also isn’t it cool that we have female villains like their always so awesome. Like Grace is kind of a Badass and it’s cool when Cordelia finally puts her in her place. Like grace has her own motivations makes you think if she might change. The fact that she’s working with Lucie also shows she might not be allllll bad (but she’s pretty damn bad)
James doesn’t even love her, so how is that even a real ship? He’s been cursed to love her.
wait does anyone actually ship them together? like is that a thing?
they are the worst ship in the book holy heck
@@victorialovess oh yeah my tumblr is filled with people who ship grace and James and are predicting that they might have a kid together 🤮🤢
I’m kinda disappointed that Emma didn’t mention basically anything about Matthew and his character besides the fact that he’s bisexual. I felt he was one if not the best character in Chain of Gold.
same omg i love him soo much!!! and this boy needs to be saved ASAP otherwise my heart can't take it
Lizbeth Barajas same, I love him so much
MATTHEW BETTER BE HAPPY IN COI OR I WILL ATTACK
YES SAME MATTHEW IS AMAZING HES PERFECT AND IF HE AINT HAPPY IN CHAIN OF IRON I WILL RIOT
OMG YES MATTHEW IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE HES MY FAVORITE CHARACTER
The gracelet better come of next book that's all I'm saying
Lucy H "gracelet" 😂😂😂 i totally agree
I hate the gracelet
@@Ana-fv8ce i hate the gracelet with a passion
I was so furious what she did, that bracket needs to come off so Cordelia and James can actually be a true couple
Ahhhh... The "gracelet" frustrated me soo much...
Emma: I'm not sure what more's going to happen in the last eighty pages
Everyone watching: Honey, you've got a big storm coming :-))))
hahahaha truth
Let me break your heart even harder: Jessies locket with his last breathe became Livvy's .
No...no..no, NO!!😭😭😭
WHAT! How could you omg p.p
Alx_Writer when I found out my heart broke, I just did not want to be the only one balling my eyes out
OH MY GOD
OMG I DIDNT EVEN PUT THAT TOGETHER!!! So livvy inherited the locket, Izzy inherited Anna’s whip and ruby necklace. I wonder if there are any more!
OMG "LOVE CUTS DEEPER THAN ANY BLADE" AND GRACE IS TATIANA'S BLADE OMFGGG
YOU ARE A GENIUS
I feel like this book was really focused on James and his powers that are linked to his warlock heritage. So I'm really hoping that in the second book we focus a bit more on Lucie and her powers, why is she the only one who can see Jessie and why can she order ghosts around in general ?? I CAN'T WAIIIT I NEED MORE LUCIE CONTENT
jame’s character was a bit too chosen one-y for me
shaecamardoe Shae Camardo yes!! Every time someone said "it’s always been about you James" I was like "what about Lucie she also has powers it must be about her too!!" 😅
tbh I think it will focus more on Lucie? since the other trilogies also focused on different characters in different books (from what I remember, clockwork prince had a different "main character" than clockwork angel. like there were the same characters but we got to explore more stories. so I think that'll happen with this trilogy too)
@@penelopebunce Hope so! :)
relationships that just have to be endgame
- james x cordelia
- anna x ariadne
- alistair x thomas
- jesse x lucie
- matthew x happiness (or the new girl in the next book)
(Christopher deserves better)
i don’t take criticisms ;)
Nidhi Reddy Matthew x Happiness is my favorite ship ever 😂
You commented this on Christine's booktalk too 😂😂
Honestly I couldn't agree more lol
Yaaaaasssss!!
wait what new girl? also its Alastair :)
@Meera ohhhh exciting!!
SPOILERS IN THE COMMENT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE YET TO READ CHAIN OF GOLD!
1. I’m so glad that this vlog was spoiler filled.
2. Cassie said to not trust the family tree because it’s already betrayed us.
3. I feel like the general consensus for Alastair was a lot of people went into CoG hating him (myself included), but by the end they either absolutely loved him (like me) or understood him a lot betted. The scene where Lucie chases after Alastair after the confrontation with Thomas and Matthew and she noticed that Alastair was crying completely shattered me. I can’t wait to see more of Alastair’s character development in the next two installments. I’m already shipping Thomas and Alastair really hard, but before I can get my epic romance with these two, I need Alastair to really, REALLY, R-E-A-L-L-Y make up for all his past mistakes because while I know Thomas always saw a different side of Alastair that wasn’t the bully that bullied the Merry Thieves, that doesn’t in any way, shape or form, make up for the things that he did. On a happier note, regarding Alastair, the sibling relationship between him and Cordelia was my favorite sibling relationship in the book.
4. I’m so intrigued to see where the Cordelia/James/Matthew/Grace thing goes because 1. I think James and Cordelia are obviously the endgame but Cassie is not going to make it easy to get there, 2. James is still under the control of the Gracelet and thinking that he loves her, and 3. We are led to believe that Matthew is in love with Cordelia at the end (I don’t believe he is. He just cares about her a lot.), but Cassie has already done the parabatai in love with the same girl thing and I don’t think she would do it again, but I guess we will see.
5. Your reaction to Magnus’ first appearance was my reaction.
6. I adored Chain of Gold overall, and I just want to skip the rest of 2020 and go to March 2021, so that Chain of Iron will be out. I NEED IT LIKE I NEED AIR!!
Wait when has which family tree betrayed us?! :o I don't remember her saying that. Welp.
6. Agree so much!
theunicornreader It’s the “found” family tree that was special content in the first edition of Clockwork Princess. She said not to trust it here. cassandraclare.tumblr.com/post/611772695156260864/hello-cassie-i-have-already-finished-cog2-and-i
Tbh I was not feeling Matthew and Cordelia haha. it felt like Matthew had (or had in the past) both feelings for Lucy and Cordelia? But it was probably more a crush or admiration.
I love Matthew so much. He deserves to be happy, please, please, let him find his own happiness in Chain of Iron!
I LOVE MATTHEW SM
I don't think Lucie has a power that allowed her to sense James was in danger. When Belial tells James "You are not the only one I can approach", he conjures an image of Lucie, and I think that it's at the same moment that Lucie saw James in the demon realm, so I think Belial sort of reached for Lucie and pulled her a little bit into his realm (not physically, but enough that she could see it).
That’s what I was thinking.
I thought the same
on the topic of queer rep, Thomas is in love with Alastair.. why is no one talking about the Paris chapter?????
I knew that
WAY
Before
I think it's because their isn't enough content/scene between Thomas and Alastair.
But I root for them in the next book
@@hamkyo07 if thomas forgives him
@@lahlybird895 I think thomas will. After a lots of talking, drama and influences from the plot.
Likenfor example:
We know one thing that will play a part of the drama and it's that Alastair still have something on James, that he doesn't want Cordelia to know. We can even theorize on how and why it will comes out. Like if he learn for the fake wedding or because of his feelings being hurts again by Matthew.
@@hamkyo07 i cant wait
WHY IS NO ONE FALLING IN LOVE WITH ANNA LIKE ME
AND LIKE ANNA AND ARIADNE ARE SUCH A CUTE COUPLE
hardcore crushing on Anna over here haha I feel u
i did the EXACT same thing as you when Magnus came in. i was laying on my bed and starting kicking my feet in the air and screaming “MAGNUS!!!” my mom came in my room with a worried look on her face😂😂
Not CoG related but just wanted to say: when I was reading The Bane Chronicles I noticed in the short story "Saving Raphael Santiago" that it was forshadowed what happens to Magnus in Thule in Queen of Air and Darkness (it's in around page 9 of the short story) and it's kinda subtle since it's Magnus thinking 'if I ever went mad and poisoned the air around myself I hope someone loves me enought to kill me' or smth but like!!!!! I NEED SOMEONE ELSE TO NOTICE THIS PLS like Cassie forshadowing 5 years earlier
also I LOVE your wand - make-up brushes
OMG😭
23:18 ME OH MY GOD 😂😂
(spolier)
Magnus Bane’s perfect timing never fails to amaze me, I missed him!!!
i loved chain of gold so much. It was such a fun story for me, especially since I've been in love with these characters literally since I finished Clockwork Princess. I think I had tears in my eyes at least 15 times throughout this book. And mention of Jem, Will, and Tessa makes me cry, and anything to do with Matthew makes me so sad. I love his character so much and want him to be happy in the future books but I do not like the idea of him and Cordelia together. Also Thomas and Alastair are amazing and the best couple in this book.
I was so heartbroken after the Scene with Thomas, Matthew and Alastair. Alastair is my favourite (I know he did or said a lots of teribble things back at the academy, and there are no excuses, but I just love him so much) and I just really want him to be happy. Also, if Thomastair isn't gonna be Endgame, I'll be really mad
The long intros to the plot actually make the books so much better in my opinion. You get SO immersed in the storyline! Cassie is a master at that, for sure
FINALLYYYYYYY
Edit: 20:37
Emma: I was expecting a bigger threat
Me: just you wait
I have been waiting ever so patiently to see her reaction to just EVERYTHING
I think Grace is a fascinating character. I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't hate her. She just seems so complicated. She's definitely been abused by Tatiana and there's just so many implications of pain and depth. Yes, she's done awful things, but I think she does honestly care about James in a way. I just can't wait to learn more about her!
I hate her, but I am OBSESSED with dissecting her as a character
Geeves SAME. I feel like I’m the only one! I don’t relatively LIKE her, but I don’t relatively HATE her either.
I’m so exited to read more about her in chain of iron
I agree with you. I don't get all the hate for Grace. It's pretty clear to me that her mom is the one pulling all the strings (I mean, didn't Grace excuse herself before putting the bracelet on James's wrist? I might be wrong, tho.) Tatiana hates the Herondales (well, actually, she hates pretty much everyone) but Grace doesn't really have a reason to. James was her childhood friend, and I think she really cares about him. I just believe that Tatiana is emotionally distant since losing Jesse, and Grace is just desperate for her mom's love and affection, so she will do anything to earn that.
I'm a fan of a spoiler-filled vlog! 😊 It was fun to see you react and talk about the book without having to be vague.
I seriously cannot wait for Chain of Iron and I'm so happy Cassie is already sharing snippets and a bit of other information. 😍
Btw, I don't think Charles is bi. I'm pretty sure he's gay like Alastair. That's why his engagement with Ariadne (yay for the right pronunciation of her name) worked so well before he decided to dump her.
This book put me in a reading slump. It’s all I can think about... but I don’t think that’s in a good way. I didn’t hate it, but I also didn’t love it. There was a disconnect in this book that I haven’t felt in a CC book since MTI (I didn’t love that series). I think Lady Midnight was such a better first book. It felt like nothing and everything was going on at the same time. I’m definitely going to reread it soon and see if my opinion changes, but that’s how I’m feeling right now 🤷♀️
THANK YOU FOR WORDING WHAT I FELT AO PERFECTLY!! I also felt like everything and nothing happened. I think there were too many characters and I couldn’t really grasp them individually so like I just didn’t feel anything for any of the boys. I love love loveddddd cordelia and Lucie but other than that ugh I was disappointed too
I thought the first half was okay, but nothing was really happening. Then the second half I loved! So... I’m torn.
I was bored so many times by this book but the ending saves the book
This is so interesting because I absolutely loved chain of gold, while lady midnight put me in a slump when I tried reading it and I never finished it
But I cannot be the only one who truly believes that Mattew has a secret love for Cordelia or James
I thought the same thing! When he saw them kissing, he felt some type of way about it. And he said he was more worried about how james would hurt cordelia.
I love the fact that this is spoiler filled! I like hearing your thoughts as they happen.
Emma! Could you possibly do a video of ranking shadowhunter books? Like your most favorite to least favorite? 😍
this book is literally all I can think about, I loved it so much I can't believe we have to wait a year to get a sequel
chain of gold was SUCH an experience omg i loved it so much!! i finished today and i was so deeply in love with all the characters and the plot! the writing was gorgeous and i can NOT wait for the next book!!
Finished the book yesterday (well, today at 2:30)! What KILLED me is Grace's bracelet that made James believe he was in love with her. I'M not sure if I'M the only one who picked up on it, but I'm SURE of it! From how he just went to Cordelia after Grace "broke-up" with him like nothing happened because he had nothing holding him back. It's the chain of gold, the bracelet. It blew my mind and started crying because HOW DARE YOU DISTURB MY SHIP?!?!
You are the reason I am going to start The Shadowhunter Chronicles ❤️
She was the reason for me to 💙 im so so grateful 💙
Why is charles in
THREE
Love triangles
And who is Matthew inlove with?
Lahly Bird he has sth going on with Cordelia😒
@@annamariatreifeldt3252are you sure?
Bc it could also be james
And in universe ppl seam to think its Lucie
Matthew had a crush on Lucie but he now likes (fancies? loves?) Cordelia.
@@Cathrin1801 complicated
@@lahlybird895 a bit. 😂
IM SO READY!!! I finished COG yesterday and it DESTROYED MEEEEE
I adored Chain of Gold too. And to think at the end of TDS all I wanted was to skip right over TLH to TWO. But now, love it. TID is always and forever my favorite but this is a VERY close second. I love how in the historical works, all the character speak the way people would have spoken then and really her writing becomes more similar to the writing of the time. Also, I think in Chain of Gold I have met my favorite Herondale. Jamie Herondale forever!
i missed u emma! so glad u posted. hope you’re doing well during these chaotic times 💕 this is just what i needed to take my mind off things
unpopular opinion: i honestly got kind of bored of james and cordelia’s characters. i was kind of disappointed about their romance so far and felt like it took up too much of their characters. honestly i felt like their romance wasnt all that satisfying either. i also felt like the other characters needed more spotlight! shoutout to my babies: matthew, lucie, anna, alastair, jesse, thomas, christopher, will, tessa, jem, etc
shaecamardoe Shae Camardo totally agree
SAME, I was more thrilled to see Lucie and Jesse like a girl falls in love with a ghost(who she only can see) and hopefully raises from the dead. If they ever have kids, it will be the weirdest love story
Hani Ahmed it was such an interesting love story!!! i wonder what will happen with them
@@velvetupsidedown I pray that Jesse is gonna be brought fully back. Since he's the only possible ancestor of the current blackthorns. Cause we know that Tatiana and Grace don't have blackthorn blood. And since Arthur's blood was used to bring back Annabel(who came before Jesse) that will mean that their ancestor had to have had blackthorn blood like Annabel. So Jesse is gonna come back trust me and Lucie(more likely) or Tatiana is gonna do it.
@Nadia Rebelo well that's ok love. Everyone has their preferences. I was just really invested in the Lucie and Jesse storyline than others, which included Cordelia heavily. I like Cordelia but she seems all too perfect. She constantly saves the day, always there to support and everyone in this fandom(and the book itself) basically love her. And that's ok but until she has actual flaws and morality challenges. Then she ain't my type of character. I do see the appeal about her but not the hype yet.
Your reaction to Magnus showing up was literally my same reaction! I had to get up from my seat and do a victory lap lol!
I enjoy watching sit down reviews of books. I get to see people freak out over things I freaked out over. And hearing their thoughts and feelings. It's refreshing in a way because I don't have someone in my life that I can go on and on about books (Cassie's at least)
25:54 - Two words: Her. Shirt.
Also, I love u, Emma, I love watching your videos, and I enjoyed the book so, so much♥️♥️
I waited over a whole year for this video cause i just finished the book a few hours ago. I absolutely loved it and cant wait to read the sequel soon. 😊
Just started it- it. Is. Amazing. I LOVE ITTT my fave is Cordelia
Your reaction to Magnus was exactly my reaction. I just really love how he appears in every single book
Just finished Chain of gold (I still have the bonus story of Tessa and Will) it was 4/5 stars for me. There were so many characters that it took me a LONG time to get sense who is who. I enjoyed the book but I feel like Cassie is recycling some things of her other stories.
23:16 is such a mood I love it
Whoo I'm here months later because I didn't want to be spoiled lol! I just read it and I my favorite characters are Matthew, Alastair + Thomas. I am most intrigued about their character/ relationship development. I would say I actually appreciate the lengthy introductions because the author likely does that for new readers like me. This is the first book I've read by her and I like that I was able to be invested in the story without having read any prior series.
Personally I completely loved this book, the characters and everything, and I can’t wait for the second one!
I was so excited when my copy of Chain of Gold arrived at my house. I immediately started it and read it in two days. I couldn't put it down and this is absolutely my favourite Cassie Clare book, ever. I cannot stop gushing over this book.
ok so watching this video was a wild ride because i decided to watch it while i was reading the book and somehow i don't know HOW i never got to hear any spoilers or anything, i just knew where to stop and if i made enough progress reading i would come back to the video and see if i can still watch it without having any spoilers. as i said, a wild and dangerous experience but i'm glad i did it because it felt like i was reading it along with you and i would scream in agreement with all of your thoughts every time i came back and yeah it was amazing. i'm looking forward to see your regular review
I’m so excited for this book. I have a long way to get to it. I’ve been reading in publication order, TMI First 1, 2, 3 3rd being City of Glass. I’m now reading Clockwork Angel, and am now on the Chapter of
Camille, the vampire. I love these books. Cassandra Clare is a great writer, I love her books. I love that book swag you got too pretty with the gold.
You don’t understand how happy I was when I saw this ?!?!?? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh btw love you emmaaaaa!!! ❤️
i just started reading the TMI series!! i'm 200 pages in City of Bones and i love it🌻🙌❤i'm sorta crushing on jace lol...😅
_iemand_ wiejyniekennie_ same here, sis. He’s da perfect man
_iemand_ wiejyniekennie_ ofc Jace😍
I love Jace 😍😍
Wait till you meet will in TiD, Julian in TDA, Matthew and James in TLH
Aadya Mudgil i already love Matthew even if i haven’t read chain of gold. His character in the short stories already are 😍
"It's gay as shit and I love it"
^I've not read the book, but I feel like this sentiment explains my attitude to relationships in my own stories XD
Emma! I love that this is a Spoiler filled Vlog!
I just loved the focus on the characters because characters are always what I care for the most in books. And I love Cordelia with my whole heart and I didn't go into this book expecting that because of all the Cassandra Clare books I have read the main female characters have never been my favorite even if I did like them. But Cordelia is just everything I love and just so many good characters in this book for me to love especially since I haven't read any novellas, I haven't been introduced to any of them before so it was just all so new to me.
I love it when Lucy reads out her stories, so funny.
You saying you’re busy reminded me that I’m procrastinating studying. I’ll come back once I’m done for the day. 😅 //video request: a typical day in the life of emmmabooks?
Chain of Gold totally broke me haha. But it also pushed me into starting booktube. Post-Chain of Gold me in my video was still a jumbled mess😂
Alastair was starting to grow on me to by the end of the book, and I am super excited for Chain of Iron!
please do more videos about shadowhunter chronicles😍 i enjoyed watching every single one of them👍🏻
Nataliaaaa!! 😍 Will Natalia make a future appearance on a future book tag? 🤔 I have been in a reading slump for a month and watching your reading vlog makes me want to pick up a book. 💖Thank you for being such an inspiration!! 😊
Omg I love and your videos. My mom and I read cassie’s books together as like bonding and I loved the book so much. And when I tell you that cassie’s book saved my life more then once I’m serious I love her and you and the books. Ok I’m done rambling 😂💕
Anyone else thought she was gonna start singing "My Shot" from Hamilton when she said, "Rise up!!" in a sing-song voice??? 😂😂
i enjoyed this video so so much ahh! and i completely agree i so hope that we get more anna in the next book!! also i need someone to confirm was the virginia that she supposedly has been with before virginia woolf? bc i thought that might be a little literary reference but i wasn’t sure😂😂 honestly chain of gold is very possibly my new fav shadowhunters book and i am just BEYOND excited for this series!!!!
Just to mention, CoG came out at the beginning of november in my country, and just hours after finishing it I ran to watch this lol Totally worth the wait tho♡♡
That book cover is beautiful! The colors are so soft
Loved loved loved it! I’m so excited for the next book!❤️
Just finally finished and now watching this!!
How in the f@&k do you read in the bath and not get the pages wet?!? It’s honestly a talent 💁♂️
Honestly I love the whole concept of Shadow Hunters and I really enjoyed TDA but I just couldn't get through TMI and TID. And now I don't know if I should give Chain of Gold a chance,like I'm so confused because the names of the characters are repeating...soooo what do you guys think??
the names of the characters are repeating because this is a sort of sequel to TID. Honestly, if you couldn't get through the previous Shadowhunter series, maybe try getting this one from the library so that if you also can't get through it, at least you won't have wasted your money. I really liked it but I like all the previous ones.
I have never read this series... I'm just here to watch your excitement!
Spoiler reading vlogs are the best!! The reason I’m watching is too see someone react to what’s happening
Oh yass finally !!! Do a review video !!! I love your shadowhunters videos !
Green looks SO good on you!
I love the way you were like “there are 80 pages left, what can happen?” girl, if you only knew jsjsjdjs
Just wanted to comment that Cassie has said rather crypticly that the family tree has already lied to us. Sooo that’s interesting the only confirmed confirmed endgame that I can see hints of is Jesse and Lucie. Cassie also mentioned that there was gonna be a big twist that she hasn’t done before in one of the love triangle and it sounded to me she was talking about the Mathew+Cordelia + James. So take that as you will. I honestly love Mathew so much and I just want him to be happy. Also she said that Mathew needs to be okay with himself before being with someone else so that also disproved that the twist is gonna be That love triangle. From all the ones we’ve seen I’m wondering what’s gonna happen like major plot twist is Cordelia ends up with Mathew but I also don’t think that will happen. Also random thought that Emma and Julian are kinda related if Cordelia does end up with James (which is likely) and Lucie does end up Jesse (which is cannon from what I can tell) that means their related from their shared Herondale blood. Just a small realization.
emma carstairs wouldn't have herondale blood because she's descended from alistair
Annabelle Spencer I realized after not literally but their still related and have a Herondale connection. It’s just interesting to me.
Alx_Writer oh, yeah! it's absolutely interesting, i'm so excited to see how this series ends up!
I stopped taking the family tree seriously when Barbara died. It says in the tree she died in 1917 which is obviously incorrect at this point. So now I am ready for anything :)
kefinkamed it also has sona's name as colette and wills birth year is wrong
23:18 I’m not even kidding that was my exact reaction to Magnus showing up 😂
Does anyone what, ‘for clary (the real one) means at the start of the book?
rachael ferguson yesss I wondered that too
Same what was that suppose to mean?
Maybe clary is based of a real person who is cassie's friend so the book is kinda like a "gift" to her
I was just thinking to myself I hope Emma uploads today! Yay! Hope you're doing well in these interesting times 💛
You such a dedicated Cassandra Clare fan and you have made me too 😊☺️🤟
i can't stop staring with your eyes while you're doing your make up, I imagine it's the same shade as Lucie's!!
just finished chain of iron and came back to see this video so hi (should be watching chain of iron vlogs but I really need to get myself together)
Yesss going to watch this and draw since I’m stuck at home ❤️
I’m so glad you read this!!!
Your reaction to Magnus showing up is my favorite part of this whole vlog 😂🥰
I don't like black tea, but her drinking breakfast tea made me determined to start liking it and I found a way to like it? And I love it now? So thanks I guess 😂
I was curious to read this book
Your reaction when Magnus showed up was mine as well LOL gah I love that warlock.
I worry about Matthew :(
Me: JAMES X CORDILIA
Stranger: I ship JAMES X GRAVE
Me: u have 3 seconds to run....
I really did like chain of gold but I thought that some things in the book were similar to other shadowhunters novels but I did quiet enjoy it.
I felt like the plot was lacking but otherwise loved it!! And I realize my privilege of reading in quarantine because I read it in 25 hours 😅
i loved this too i've just finished Chain of Iron so good,
we need the full spoiler review please Emma!
I am already in the middle of the first of many re-reads, and so far, I have to say that while I liked Chain of Gold well enough (and I mean 4-stars worth), I expected to get even more from it. It´s definitely my fault, because out of all the Shadowhunter Chronicles, The Infernal Devices is my favourite trilogy, so the bar was already way too high.
Still, I have loved pretty much all TID characters (with Tessa, Will and Jem getting extra love, of course), and I have been very excited to meet the new generation. However, so far, I am only really loving Cordelia, Matthew and Anna. I suspect we have seen only glimpses of real James when the bracelet was off, and I am ready to forgive and forget in the next book - if he treats Daisy well, that is :)
I am also hoping Lucie will get more character development in Chain of Iron. Don´t get me wrong, she is perfectly lovely and cute, but to me, she does not feel fully formed yet. She seems much more child-like than the rest of the gang, not like their peer. I am not seeing the Lucie-Jesse romance yet, either, but I am very curious if and how this is going to work...
All that being said, I am going through some serious withdrawal (I have already re-read TID and started Ghosts of the Shadow Market again), and I cannot believe we have almost a year of waiting ahead of us!!!
Eating, annotating, & reading all at once is a skill. I could never 😭
Jesse can't really be just a ghost, I think he's something in between because otherwise Will and James would have been able to see him, because Herondales are able to see ghosts. I mean Will was able to see that ghost from the graveyard in Clockwork Angel, and also Jessamine. So I feel like James can also do that because he also has that ability to turn into a shadow.
I love book darts!!! I use them all the time except the last can I bought, the lid got stuck on the can. It’s cross threaded and I can’t get it. I’m going to have to drill a hole in the top and get them out.
THEORY TIME because I just read this somewhere: what if Cordelia slicing the creature off James' back is foreshadowing of her cutting the gracelet off him? :0
I haven’t finished this book yet. I’m currently reading it and I’m almost done but I need to watch this and I’m now trying to bang out the rest of this book to come back and watch the rest of this AGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH

just finished it two days ago so me watching this video : YES YES YES YES this is what I needed.
When you said cassi writes long chapters i was like no way i felt that the chapters where really short.. then I remembered that the book i read before chain of gold was the first Witcher book. The chapters there are extreamly long at least in my german copy. 379 pages in 7 chapters... no wonder the chapters in chain of gold seamed short to me 😂😅
where did you get your pjs from? love them!!
