Robert Lightwood's death is the most tragic death Cassandra Clare has ever written because unlike the others (who we already liked), Robert was just starting to change for the better. He was turning into a doting grandfather. He was proud of Alec. He respected Magnus. He was helping Julian and Emma and not immediately condemning them for their parabatai curse. And the biggest tragedy is that we'll never see him get to be Simon's intimidating father-in-law 😭
