“How is your son? Cat, is it?” “Kit. He’s a good boy. Growing like a sprout. Quick hands, very useful in my line of work.” “You have your child picking pockets?” “Some of that. Some passing on trifles like keys. Some sleight of hand. All sorts. He’s multitalented.” “Isn’t he about ten years old?” Magnus asked. Johnny shrugged. “He’s very advanced.” “Clearly.”

I just realized that since Cirenworth is so heavily warded, things could go wrong somehow and we could get a parallel with what happened to Kit’s dad after the protection spells faded help

Love that when Kit is mad at you he ignores you just like his father

He avoided talking to Ty after the necromancy and then ignored him for three (four?) years 👍

The Moon Will Sing is Kit to Johnny

Another thing I want Kitty to do in LA is to go back to Kit’s old house. Even though Kit wanted to, he was never able to go back and get his stuff. It was just straight to the Institute and then to Cirenworth.

I want him to go back and remember his life there and what happened. Are his old stuff in his room still? His old books and video games? Is the floor bloodstained where his father died? Will he remember the sad look on his father’s face as he died?

He thinks in LOS about how his home wasn’t the beautiful LA of mansions and beaches but the “uglier” part with cracked pavement and skies leaden with smoke which is a pretty big difference from what he’s been used to while living with Jem and Tessa. And a big difference from his almost ridiculously glorious heritage as a Herondale and faerie royalty

Ty and Kit can even reminisce on the first time they met. That would also be a nice first kiss lol - showing that Ty loves every part of him

I hope the reason Kit and Ty go to LA is to dig up something Johnny had buried since Kit said he had som stuff hidden around town.

I think it could be a good opportunity for Kit to be reminded of his old life. Literally digging up the past…

Johnny Rook is such an interesting character to me. Don’t get me wrong, I despise him for what he did to Kit, but just reading about him (especially in GoTSM) was so fascinating! We can see when Johnny was young, he was genuinely full of life, and he seemed to have potential (in a way, he kinda reminds me of Kit), and you can see how much he loved Rosemary. But once Rosemary left, he turned bitter. Johnny may have been wonderful in his youth, but he couldn’t be an adult and stay strong for his child in the end. And he just ended up projecting everything onto Kit and completely doing the opposite of what Rosemary asked him to do when she left

I’m still questioning who sent all those demons to kill Johnny and Kit?? Was it just a bitter past ‘client’ of Johnny’s or something to do with Kit’s magic and him being the First Heir??
