The fact that Alastair Carstairs is the ONLY person in Chain of Iron that didn’t consistently lie, that openly talked about his wants and emotions and that actively changed to make up for his past mistakes and he STILL got ripped into by someone, in every scene he was in- is my villain origin story.

No I take it back I take it back I take it back…

if you saw me say anything about the Chain of Thorns we got... no you didn’t.

#turns out I’ve never been happier actually Chain of Thorns rules actually #the last hours #tlh #chain of thorns #cassandra clare #tsc #james herondale

Thomastair and Arianna both CARRIED Chain of Thorns on their backs and I for one would like to thank them for their service 🤝

Is anyone else upset about how little Herondaisy there is in Chain of Thorns? Like I know I’m insane but I wanted at least some of these things;

Cordelia to make a sacrifice that led into James bringing her back, linking into why the Carstairs owe the Herondales

The Layla and Majnun story and for James to read to Cordelia when she was wounded after doing something brave.

James to call Cordelia ‘Layla’. (Even “Daisy, my Daisy” didn’t feature…)

The line “I suffered every thorn for you I would again”.

Chess games where they revealed things to each other?

Second marriage runes.

For the Belial confrontation to be more Herondaisy focused.

A proper love confession. Like Will had his whole Tale of Two Cities “Last dream of my soul” speech, I was convinced James would have a “to the last hour of my life” love declaration.

Anyways….

Me personally... I am pissed about it

I was looking forward to a love confession IN Persian quoting LAYLA AND MAJNUN. The fact that Cassie omitted the “I have suffered every thorn for you. I would again.” line was a betrayal. Not including a battle scene between possessed James and Cordelia was a real missed opportunity. SHE GOT MY HOPES UP ON THAT LIVESTREAM WHERE SHE WAS LIKE 'ohhh yes.. there will be chess ;)' WHERE CASSANDRA WHERE WAS THE DAMN CHESS?? I understand the original ending was very different, even the characters were, but some lines really should have made it to this version

No the way you’re so right about absolutely everything. THE PERSIAN?#! Need to add that to the list, the way that James learning Farsi never came up again in any meaningful way.. love that for us. Completely forgot she said that about the Chess I knew I was robbed..

I’m so confused after finishing Chain of Thorns.. how are you feeling?? How would you rate it in comparison to Chog and Choi and are you happy with it overall as a conclusion for these characters? (I’m so selfish I need more..)

WE'RE FEELING GREAT BUT ALSO LIKE THERE'S NO REASON TO LIVE ANYMORE HA HA ha....🙃🙂🙃🙂

Oh oh Chot is my 3 fav book from all TSC series so far. But I have 4 issues with it

1)not enough Jordelia

2)no Gabrily reaction to u know what

3)no Malcolm/Annabel interactions

4)what about "I didn't choose this life"?

But I genuinely enjoyed everything else🥹i love how Mathew's alcoholism topic was handled, I absolutely love how Matthew and James supported each other even during some fights (they had even more sweet deep moments than Will/Jem, I said what I said), HERONDALE FAMILY ADOPTING JESSE and being loving chaotic family 🥹 SO MUCH Thomastair content omfg, fandom screamed SO DAMN LOUD that Cassie could have heard them from the moon

Every Christopher/Grace interaction, I was never their biggest fan, but THOSE DAMN MOMENTS did something to me🥺Plus CC remembered! that 8 years ago she said Lottie and Henry will have twin daughters 🫶🏻Oh and Matthew's letter to James🤌🏻 I'm SO GLAD Cassie let him being alone for a while, gave him some time to travel, to learn more about himself and the world around him. OH AND SHE FINALLY REMEMBERED ABOUT DAISY/LUCIE INTERACTIONS GOD HEARD MEEEEE

Of course I also need more, but I know we'll definitely have more: novella about one of the TLH characters + Jordelia extended scene (18+ version)

moony401

You voiced this so well… YES ❤️ Rina is right as per usual!

The novella is 100% Matthew I think, she said on some live that if she were to do a novella on any of the Tlh characters it would be Matthew!

RANDOM CHAIN OF THORNS MEMES

Bridget coming out of nowhere;

Albert Pangborn shouting on the phone to Will about Tatiana;

Matthew and James back and forth to each other for most of the book;

James and Thomas trying to get the Carstairs siblings to admit they love them;

Thomas and Alastair at all times;

I loved the way it was written we got so much of everyone!

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I did too! I loved so much of what we got in this book but I thought there was an issue with cohesion. It read as a collection of scenes to me and not a cohesive story… Love all the characters though and I think Matthews story was done quite well, the romantic relationships (side ones especially) were fun to read (Anna and Ari’s relationship was developed so well in this book as compared to Choi for example). I also really liked the epilogue…

#anon asks #chot #chain of thorns spoilers #chot spoilers #cot spoilers #still 5 stars to me like I love this series it’s got a very special place in my heart #chain of thorns #the last hours #tlh

I liked Chain of Thorns overall but the pacing in this book was fucking insane… it feels like a 100k word fan-fiction, not a novel. Things continuously happened but I felt she was trying to leave all the bigger plot points open until the very end which just didn’t read well, it felt oddly rushed yet somehow dragged out.

Me after reading the absolute WAR CRIME that was committed against Christopher Lightwood in Chain of Thorns:
