Hi Cassandra! Just want to say I’m such a huge fan and your books have gotten me through so many hardships. Your characters make me laugh, cry and smile through every interaction.

I know you can’t say too much about your book but I was curious about Ty’s scars. How long have they been there, and do they have something to do with his visit to Kit? And furthermore does Kit find out and how does he react? Again I know you can’t say too much, but I am just so curious and am anticipating this book so bad! I love you and your characters, thank you so much for reading this! Oh and when will we get more Ty snippets? 🩵🩵

I am going to assume we are talking about the scars in this scene?

The scars have been there in some form from the time before the book started. They actually are getting worse. I can't tell you if Kit finds out or what he does, though! I guess it depends on if he ever sees Ty with his shirt off.

Hi Cassie. I love your books.I don’t know if this is too much of a spoiler, but I’d like to know what Livvy’s role in TWP will be like and whether she’ll have her own storyline.

Hey! I mean the whole thing is kind of a spoiler so I'll be vague. She is almost always with Ty, and he's gotten very used to her being around and chatting with her like she wasn't a ghost. With Kit, she can discuss concerns she has about Ty, something she has no one else she can talk to about. Livvy's role is really about what happens when you try to cheat not just death, but also grief and other human emotions.

Today I discovered that a couple of TSH characters were based on actual people Donna Tartt knew at Bennington College- amongst them were students Todd O'Neal and Matt Jacobsen, who were the inspiration for Henry and Bunny respectively.

AND JUST—

There's even their own comments about it and it's so funny wait:

hi cassie :)

i miss julian SO much and fear for his reaction to dru being kidnapped and ty leaving the scholomance to go off on this dangerous mission with the first heir 😭 our man is going to be STRESSED thinking he’s lost 3/4 of his kids, will we hear from him and emma in TLKOF and see his reaction to finding out what dru and ty are up to? (i wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to burn down the world to get dru back he’s THE julian blackthorn)

thank you and so so insanely excited to read the book, less than 6 months left!!!

Poor Julian! Yes, it's true Dru and Ty are older than they were last time we saw them with Julian, but I think Julian will continue to wish to protect them. I think he will wish to protect them on into their adulthood, and when he is ninety-six and Dru is ninety-two or whatever, he will continue to regard her as his baby sister, and Ty as his baby brother. (Who is ninety-three.)

Ultimately though Julian has a role like the TID characters in The Last Hours: he can worry, and he can wish to protect his siblings, but in the end he isn't the one who can do what has to be done. Only the protagonists can do that. He can't burn the world down to save Dru, in that she has to save herself. He can set little fires though. :)

Hi, Cassie! We know Kit has had some dating experience prior to TWP, which led me to wonder about Ty… has he explored his options as well? Who’s more experienced out of the two?

mayaheronthorn asked:

Hi Cassie! We know that Kit had a girlfriend - love u Hazel - and I was wondering if he dated other people in those 4 years? And most importantly, I wanna know if Ty dated someone? 💖 sending love 

izzyeatsfood asked:

hi cassie!! 

i got into your books in november of 2024, and it's been one of the most rewarding fandom experiences of my life. I love all the characters (especially kit and alastair, they're my shaylas) and am SUPER excited for TLKOF. I was wondering, while Kit was in london, did he date (or even just kiss) anyone other than Hazel? Thank you for your amazing books!!!!

yviintheclouds asked:

Has Ty had any romantic experiences in the time between TDA & TWP?

sherlockwaatson asked:

hi cassie! i want to say thank you for all of the content lately - it is truly giving me a reason to live and i am so grateful

my question is kind of silly but did ty date anyone between qoaad and tlkof? we know kit had a fling with hazel so i was only curious........

------

Friends, Romans, countrymen/women/people. I do understand why this is a burning question. Between TDA and TWP we have missed quite a bit of Kit and Ty's lives. Dating-wise, we only know about Hazel, and that was very clearly not in any way a serious relationship.

But unfortunately, any real answer would contain spoilers. Not even just for the first book! When Ty and Kit meet again, they don't know these things about each other either — Kit doesn't know if Ty's dated or kissed anyone, and Ty only knows about Hazel. Which he genuinely has no jealous feelings about because it is pretty clear that Kit's heart was not involved there.

I did not want either Kit or Ty to feel that the situation between them was impacted by the existence of some romantic rival. It's not the case, there's no love triangle, Kit and Ty's challenges come from other things: memory and forgiveness, understanding, star-crossed challenges of the epic sort.

Ty and Kit are probably not each other's first kiss. But they definitely would be each other's first most other things. :)

hi!! i’m not sure if i’m remembering clearly but was there supposed to be a kickstarter letter from ty to kit? if so will we ever get to see it (and the rest of the letters in general)? i miss them so much 😞 tysm!

I wrote to all the people who got character letters and asked if they'd be ok with me sharing them: a lot of people said yes, but for those who said no, or who I didn't hear from, I can't post those — I'm sorry!

[cassandraclare]

Hi!

I was wondering if you can tell us whether ty and ash will get along? I know they probably don't interact much in tlkof but in future books?

They don't interact much in TLKOF, but they do in LPOH. Which I am writing now. I always feel a little uneasy reporting on work in progress, because who knows what will change? But it's never been my plan to write them as not getting along, in fact I think they have interesting insight into each other. One of the first things Ash does is observe something about Ty that Dru realizes is maybe a little alarming but true.

LKOF chapter sampler snippet

Meanwhile, back at the Scholomance:

“You told us your final project would be about solving crimes using magic. But this”—Catarina tapped the stack of paper in front of her—“seems to be about the alternate dimension Thule. It includes a section on how one might possibly get there—” 

“That part is theoretical,” said Ty. 

“All right,” Catarina said. “But . . .

the final project is supposed to cover the kind of work you want to do when you leave the Scholomance. You’re an adult Shadowhunter. Solving crimes using magic seems like something you could do. Attempting interdimensional travel to a hell world does not. I know your brother Julian visited that other world, but there were extenuating circumstances involved that will never be replicated.” 

“I said it was theoretical—” 

“If you opened a door to hell in your dorm room and a beast came through and ate you, that wouldn’t be theoretical.” 

“No, I would call that empirical evidence. But I’m not doing that.” 

Catarina templed her hands beneath her chin. “I believe you,” she said. “And I don’t think you actually want to go to Thule, even if a version of Livvy is alive there. I think you turned in a final project you knew couldn’t possibly pass on purpose.” 

Ty froze.
