Notes from Cassandra Clare's Panel
• shadowhunter fighting styles are modeled after the roman and Greek styles of fighting Cassie studied while reading military history novels
• QOAAD IS FINISHED!!! And it's MASSIVE!!
• "Don't expect anything [in the shadow world] to stay the same!"
• the middle of the novel takes place in a new setting we have never seen before
• people will have strong feelings about the end of QOAAD
• how you feel about the end is tied to how attached you are to the shadow world
• QOAAD is "Fun book with lots of twists"
• characters go through high highs and low lows.
• the eldest curses (1st book) is done
• someone asked whether we will cry more over QOAAD than LOS, she said LOS has a more shocking and tragic end but there's a "really painful thing" that happens at the end.
• the moderator said she cried more while reading QOAAD than LOS, and that QOAAD is Cassie's best book.
