I think Kit herondale moving to Devon to stay with Jem and Tessa was a very appropriate decision made by Cassie.
Kit was, by no means ready to be in a relationship with Ty at that stage. I definitely do not like the way things ended with them. But what I do know is that Kit needed Jem and Tessa. Kit needed their love and guidance. Here, we are talking about someone whose father showed him such little affection that he felt that he was never loved by him. And he was the only family Kit had ever known while growing up. Kit did not value himself. He hated himself. And until a person learns to love themselves they won't be able to love others properly, no matter how hard they try.
I love the blackthorns. I really do. But tbh they are a bunch of teenagers with too much baggage on them already. They are always busy with their own businesses. They don't have time to help Kit with his mental health when they all clearly need therapy as well. Living at the LA Institute would not help with Kit's mental health in the slightest.
What he truely needs is a loving, caring family that can give him time and attention. Who can teach him to love and to be loved. Kit needed Jem and Tessa. He needed Mina. He needed church. He needed them to know the value of family, love, protection and care. He needed to be a son. He needed to be a brother. He needed to be a tol hooman for his cat.
Before he needed the Blackthorn's companionship, he needed the Carstairs family's love. I just know that by the end of the three year period Kit Herondale would be in a much better place as a much better, understanding and mature person. And most of all, I need people to understand this.
