Lmk it you want context for anything or if my handwriting is incoherent 😭
— Valentine is a Couples Counselor: someone asked if her characters are inspired by ppl she knows and she said that they’re inspired by a combination of ppl but ppl always think that her character are inspired by them specifically like Cassie’s friends mom thought that Valentine was inspired by her ex husband who was a couples counselor 😭
— someone asked if Sizzy or Clace would be better at babysitting Malec’s kids and she said Simon and Clary bc Jace and Izzy would be a disaster lmaoo
— she says that she wakes up feeling sad about tsc ending and she has the ending in mind now, (but don’t worry haha bc we’re still over a year out from tlkof and prob like 5 yrs from tls 😭)
—the third book is called The Bone Conjurers
— Holly, Cassie, and Marie Lu took a road trip in Italy?? Anyways Marie Lu was carsick and Holly and Cassie were arguing over whether to stick to their magisterium outline (cassie is very pro outline while holly is the opposite)
characters who very calmy do the most unhinged shit imaginable all while maintaining a perfect expression of blankness — but also they loose all ability to function on any level when they get horny (often) — like there’s a thin line between “many gears turning but I won’t let it show” and “no thoughts head empty” and they straddle it perfectly

An illustration to accompany the release of Barnes & Noble’s Exclusive Edition of Sword Catcher, written by bestselling author Cassandra Clare! This edition not only features a unique gold hardcover jacket, but also includes two mini posters with illustrations of the narrators, Kel and Lin. Featured here is the illustration of Lin Caster, an outcast with forbidden magic
It began with a crime, the theft of a boy. The prince’s body-double and Lin join forces to expose a web of corruption and intrigue in the gilded city of Castellane. Caught in the middle of forbidden love, dangerous magic and dark secrets, Kel and Lin could change their world forever in the start of this riveting and epic adult fantasy series.
I JUST FINISHED SWORDCATCHER (and why does it seem like no one else has on here?)
Wasn't expecting to like it and get as invested in it as I am rn?? There's something about both Kel and Lin that really draws you in
Just documenting my thoughts below for fun:
- In the very beginning, I was kinda rooting for Lin and Kel (sorry I am kinda heteronormative and boring) but then as soon as she had her first interaction with Conor, I knew there was gonna be something there - but by the end, I have to say nothing at all is very clear there
- I TOTALLY CALLED LIN HAVING THE GODDESS IN HER ON TEVATH, although honestly I thought it would be for real (all the dreams and the stone etc) and not her scheming (which is so much better)
- So wanna see more of Lin scheming to get what she wants, and I'm totally seeing an arc where she gets ahold of too much power/magic but needs to make the choice between what is ethical and what she wants etc
- I'm predicting that Antonetta is gonna betray Kel at some point for her own gain/the Silk Charter/whatever
- I was really loving the Kel and Vienne interactions so I was honestly really sad to see her die :(
- Kel seems to have some sort of tie to the sea? And if I'm remembering correctly the three gods are war, death and the sea - interesting connection there and I wonder if anything will come of that
- I also feel like Silla is gonna be involved in some sort of betrayal against Kel ? (Idk I just feel like everyone's gonna betray him at some point because Cassie likes her main characters to suffer a bunch)
- I'm very curious to see what becomes of Conor next, because so far he hasn't done much of import, I'm interested in what kind of scheming he's going to pull off and whose interests are going to be protected
- Why do I feel like Mayesh is gonna die and there's gonna be some sort of struggle within the Sault over who succeeds him, and of course this will affect the coming war with Sarthe
- The King coming into his own was unexpected, there's gotta be some sort of agenda there too + his unexpected (physical) strength
- What I'm hoping to see is more of Kel's self exploration and him finding himself, his thoughts, his motivations outside of House Aurelian and Conor
- ALSO WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE KING ON THE HILL AND THE RAGPICKER KING????? GIMME MORE BACKSTORY ON HIM AND JI-ANN OMG I SO WANT TO KNOW (Does he remind anyone else a bit of Kaz Brekker and Inej?)
- Going to be super interesting to see what happens when Kel's interests and Conor's interests diverge at some point
