Plottwist: The lord of shadows is actually Nico di Angelo
Howling Beta that made my day😂😂 and also love your profile pic
Howling Beta 😂
YES
Howling Beta YASSS
Yeessssss 😂😂😂
*waiting for sebastian's evil demon faerie offspring*
Why are they going to London? For the biannual everyone-thinks-Will-is-a-luntatic meeting. Obviously
I mean really, he may be dead but Jem and Tessa are still alive, and Jessamine is a ghost there we gotta have the meeting 😂
Me: I should do my homework
Me: *see's video*
Me: IM SHOOK
That'a exactly what I just did. XD
Aleyna Black me too
Samantha S same
But why has no one noticed the asnwer to the parabatai problem is RIGHT THERE! "A blade made by Wayland the Smith can cut through anything". And I mean anything, including runes!! Come on, I can't be the only one thinking this.
I don't know if anyone pointed this out, but didn't Gabriel and Gideon's uncle fall in love with his parabatai and they both killed themselves?Because that happened in London so 👀👀
Cristina Drafta OMG I LOVE THIS. Julian will go to London and try to find out more about parabatai love and then he'll find out about the two who committed suicide and what happens if you fall in love with your parabatai and THEN he'll get mad at Emma and then DRAMA EXPLODES.
Cristina Drafta do you mean Silas Pangborn by any chance?
Ohhhh I like this theory but SHIT'S GONNA GO DOWN AND I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED FOR IT
Oh yeah that's right and he was related to the blackthorns right? And lord of shadows shit needs to like get finished in queen of air and darkness
Your julian-lord of shadows theory is just brilliant...
How does Cassandra Clare have time to write all these series I'm deceased omg first The Dark Artifices, then The Last Hours, then Wicked Powers (not sure if that's what it's called?) and now a Magnus Bane series?? boiiii
Gillian Bennett Don't forget the series she cowrites with Holly Black.
Gillian Bennett crackpot theory....Cassandra Clare is a shadowhunter and uses hella energy runes
I am missing a lot... sigh
yes they travel to london in tda!!!!!
JULIAN POSSIBLY BEING RELATED TO TESSA????? YOU JUST BLEW MY MINDDDDD
you are so set on that scene with emma and malcom i love it XD
after sebastian i've learned to trust simon when he says "never trust the bad guy's bad until you find a body" i'm convinced malcom is alive
the only thing that sets me off about rafael lightwood-bane is that i'm pretty sure he's hispanic? he's lived his life in buenos aires since before the dark war and the canon fanart has him with brown skin. with sebastian being pale af and shadowhunters with faerie blood having blonde hair and pale skin, i don't think i'm sold on him being seb&seelie queens child but i am POSITIVE his birth parents are going to come into play at some point and it'll be wiiiiiiiilddddd
i think it's AMAZING that clary didn't say yes! truthfully, i hope she says no or at least not right now. i think it's way more important for cassie to show that women don't have to be engaged at such a young age and can be independent of their significant other. as much as clary loves jace, she's running an institute, she still has less training than most shadowhunters her age, i think her and jace deserve to just chill and enjoy each other's company without even more complications XD at least that's the way i viewed it as soon as that scene happened!
my current theories:
1. anselm nightshade plays a bigger role than anyone thinks because clary's grandmother's maiden name was nightshade and cassie clare didn't give a downworler a shadowhunter name for no reason
2. i have high hopes that we'll find something out about johnny rook that makes him something other than a shadowhunter, because making him just another herondale is waaayyy to easy for me. 1. emma says in the beginning "people think johnny is a warlock, but he's not. he's something else." 2. marks???? (this goes for kit as well) if he was a real shadowhunter of the clave, he would have gotten runes, but to our current knowledge, kit and johnny don't have any. otherwise, johnny would have had to cover them for all of his life, working in the shadow market and what not or else everyone would know he's a shadowhunter. since tessa's father was a demon, she has warlock powers but i can't remember what happens to the child of two shadowhunters who don't receive marks (i think it's mentioned in cp2 possibly?? idk if they're just mundanes or if something else happens) but we ALSO don't know who kit's mother is and she may not be a mundane/shadowhunter/downworlder so i am hopeful this turns into something more than just another extension of the herondale family hahahha
IDK IM THINKING SO MANY THINGS AND I CANNOT WAIT TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS SORRY FOR THE CRAZY LONG COMMENT
I love the nightshade theory.Thats makes it so interesting. I never looked deep into the double names when I was reading. Well if they really are apart of the lost herondale lineage both Rooks were brought up as mundanes therefore they shouldn't have any runes. But, remember clary didn't have runes at first either so I think Kit will be able to apply runes. Idk I suspect Kit has demon blood in him. Again we don't know what his mother may be so it raises suspicion. Yeah Malcolm definitely isn't dead. I refuse to believe he died unless the body turns up. True... Clary's a strong independent women and Jace has to except that :p Btw Julians gonna lose his shit real fast. The foreshadowing proves it. All we might be spot on about would be that somehow the lord of shadows links to James Herondale since he had the ability to turn into a shadow. I just wanna know already. I'm literally going to make a huge family tree because it's gotten so large its hard to keep track.
I thought I was the only who realised that there is a high chance that Nightshade is related to Clary because Jocelyn's mother'a surname was 'Nightshade'!!!!! Thank god I'm not!
emmmabooks I think children of unmarked shadowhunters might be born stillborn? Or maybe that's just demons/shadowhunter offspring? But, at the same time I feel like if it were the case, Catrina would have done some warlocky magic so that the original Lost Herondale could carry on and have a family and normal life
Karla Villanueva yep it's Shadowhunter-demon offspring because most Shadowhunters don't get marks until 12! I'm not sure what happens if they enter teenagehood/adulthood without marks
Lauren Falcon that's a good point about clary!! I also wonder if the ritual that was performed on her may have had a different impact? I'm not sure if kit or Johnny had the same ritual all SHADOWHUNTERS do since they're technically "in hiding" from the clave
I feel like Kit and Ty are the lead characters in the Wicked Powers...
ThisSickBOOK i ship so bad i would die for that
Oh damn oh damn yaaas please please please cassie let this happen please
I have a crackpot theory that Emma is a Herondale. It's mentioned that's she doesn't look anything like her parents, and Clary said she reminder her of Jace, and we all know how Cassie loves complicated family drama...
If they go back in time can we see Will?!!?
It was my first thought
Ayla Clarke Christine...Tessa cannot where runes. After the climax of Clockwork Princess, the people at the London institute tried to put a rune on Tessa, and it just sank into her skin. She couldn't have a parabatai.
Ayla Clarke OH MY GOD YES!!!!!!!
One theory that I have that I'm surprised that I haven't heard from anyone else is that Arthur is evil/ working with Malcolm. The reason I think this is because Lady Midnight was kinda based on/ revolving around the poem Annabel Lee and one of the lines in the poem Annabel Lee is "Neither the angels in Heaven above nor the demons down under the sea could ever dissever my soul from the soul of the beautiful Annabel Lee." BUT in chapter 19 of Lady Midnight (page 447 in my book, though it could be different in other editions)when Julian is having a flashback to the time when he found Arthur had cut his wrists because he was hearing voices, and Julian asked him who's voices he was hearing, he responded "the angels in Heaven above and the demons down under the sea." THAT IS AN EXACT QUOTE FROM THE POEM ANNABEL LEE THAT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME OTHERWISE. I don't know what Arthur's deal is but I do not believe for a second that he is the innocent looney Uncle who just sits in the attic all day.
WOW I DID NOT THINK OF THAT BUT HOLY SHIT
I'm so freaking excited for this book 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😀😀😀😀😀😁😀😁😀😀😀😀😀😀😝
SAME
Blue Wind me too
I imagine Cassie watching this video like: *smiles evil* soon, my child, soon
that moment, when you realise there's still WAY TOO MUCH time till Lord of Shadows
Scarlet Moon ikr
Scarlet Moon I live in Germany and I still have to wait for a few month's until it's translated. So sad...
angelina Ich lebe auch in Deutschland, aber ich hab auch schon alle anderen Bücher von Cassie auf Englisch gelesen, werde also auch Lord of Shadows auf Englisch lesen 🙈😊
Scarlet Moon Ja, nur das Blöde ist, dass ich jetzt alle anderen Bücher von Cassie auf Deutsch gelesen und ich das dann auch weiterführen möchte. Hoffe nur es wird schnell übersetzt😊
angelina Ja, kann ich verstehen. Aber da Cassie's Bücher ja bekannt und beliebt sind, wirst du wohl nicht allzu lange warten müssen 😊
I don't think that the parabati connection was severed at the ending of Lady Midnight because Will described it in Clockwork Princess as a string being snapped. I think they would've felt that immediately and realized it.
The time travel storyline would be so much fun, I would totally read that!!
Woah these are some really great theories! Watching this makes me even more excited for Lord of Shadows!
THANK YOU! AND YAY! =D
sandyreadsalot me too
sandyreadsalot only 30 more days
18 days leeeeft
The one about Malcolm's soul in her sword slated me
What if Clary is afraid of having children (she certainly has issues with her father and then her mother lied to her for her whole life) and doesn't want to marry Jace because she's worried he wants kids
You just made me more excited for this book
Lol I think I've finally accepted the fact that there will not be a "Last Star" BookTalk.
Aj Anane same with dreams of gods and monsters
Was also waiting for that one :/
Aj Anane and library of souls
AND Trials of Apollo
Or End of Days 😪
OMG some of these theories are so interesting and plausible! Cassandra Clare is a genius, I hope she has some mad crap planned. I'm definitely more excited for Lord of Shadows now. I hope that she doesn't do yet another miscommunication plot though. We had it with Jace and Clary, we had it with Will and the curse, Emma better tell Julian about the parabatai thing soon or I'll be really pissed off because miscommunication is kind of a cheap plot device and I don't want Cassie to not know how to write anything else bc she's queen and can do better.
Ok I think I may need to go and reread the whole Shadowhunter Chronicles because I'm sure there are SO MANY clues. I'm dying to find out what the significance of London is, I want to know why they go there...ahhhhh!!!
What if clary is pregnant or something and that's why she doesn't want to answer jace
Aisling O'Kelly I really hope so
Aisling O'Kelly she created a birth control rune tho
Paola Delgado I know but I can't think what else would make her hesitate
that's what I thought (and hope), maybe she forgot to reapply her rune but I don't think cassie would add that to the plot.
I was thinking that she may be hesitant since she was raised in the mundane world and getting married at a young at is sort of looked down on.
Clary and Jace.......I'm freaking out
There's so many theories like, is she pregnant? And they're too young, she's not ready, or she's worried that something in the future may affect the marriage (like say a miscarriage or a war like Valentine)
But some of my theories are, is she worried that the reason why (which is not true, but it's a theory) he wants to marry her is because that one day he will die because Shadowhunters die young, she's scared that one day (that will never happen, it's just a theory) Jace and Clary would end up like Maryse and Robert
And possibly, she's dreading, maybe that one day they have a child there could be a possibility that her child will be a boy, with blonde hair green eyes and would look exactly what Jonathan would have been if he was not Sebastian, or Clary cant get pregnant and she knows that Jace wants to marry her (obviously) and want to start a family with her but she can't and she's d r e a d i n g her answer because she might not get pregnant
(There could be a plot twist there though, because she could get pregnant but she thinks she can't do she doesn't a birth control rune, and she ends up pregnant......I kinda want that, element of surprise)
There's a lot of theories, what do you guys think? Because I'm going crazy here, my precious baby's they deserve happiness it's not fair
Kristiemaymay Kouloumanou I know right like I did not expect her to react to the proposal like that like she's dreading it what does that mean 😱😱😱😰😰
Kristiemaymay Kouloumanou I doubt she's pregnant because she is literally the one that created the birth control rune
SO MANY THEORIES
IDC I love memes it is because she thinks she is going to dieee
I honestly can't wait for lord of shadows, so I'm embracing all theories until then.
What really broke my heart in Lady Midnight was the ending with Emma and Mark. I don't know I just felt like something clicked. By the way I love your theories, and I can't wait for Lord of Shadows to come out.
So about the theory about Malcolm in a way possessing one of the Blackthorn children and one of the children had actually died, I don't think Annabel actually was woken because Blackthorn blood was shed. In the short epilogue, I think it's pointing out that the blood of the person who loved her was what had woken her from her death, mixed with some magic of the ocean. idk what that is
Christine are you gonna make a crackpot theories for A Court of Wings and Ruin video?
Meredith Glenn YES PLEASE CHRISTINE =)
Meredith Glenn YES YES YES YEEEESS YASSSS!!!!!
RHYSAND! RHYSAND! RHYSAND! xD
YAAAS
PLEASE DO
I read once that Cortana could be able to cut the parabatai bond between Emma and Julian because in chapter 23 Emma's mother said (and I quote) "a blade made by Wayland the Smith can cut anything" So, maybe it will be like the scene where Clary stabbed Jace with the angelical sword to released him from Sebastian.
I've been so excited for this video!!!
I feel like Ty Blackthorn might not actually be a Blackthorn
Woahhh. But he looks like Jesse Blackthorn, right? He got his features from Jesse Blackthorn, who married Lucie Herondale. The only thing is that he doesn't have Jesse's green eyes.
Reyloshippers He's a twin though.
i mean it's kind of hard to explain but there's more too it than appearance
Ceallaigh Gorman Oh, that's right.
Ceallaigh Gorman It's odd that he looks so different from his sister. I understand that they aren't identical, but twins usually share at least hair and eye color.
your hair looks AMAZING, Christine!
Emma could be pregnant...
If something went wrong with her birth control rune or whatever.
And if the baby looks like a Blackthorn, well, she's dating Mark...
it's very unlikely but it is kinda possible...
And I am so ready for JulianxEmma babies XD
You're theories are so intricate and interesting 😱 Makes me more excited about Lord of Shadows!
All of your theories are FREAKING AWESOME. Gahhh I'm so excited for lord of shadows!!!

LOVE. I'M DOING IT FOR LOVE!
Always appreciate a legally blonde reference 😊
Christine, for some reason your outfit is giving my phoebe vibes in the best possible way. Also it is bloody brilliant to be so invested in a series that is large and intricate which gives us the ability to theorise.
You are actually amazing, like how do you come up with these theories? It wouldn't even have occurred to me 😱
Omigod so much awesome love the theory's they make so much logic!
I WAS ABOUT TO WASH THE DISHES AND THEN I SAW THIS!!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR MAY 23!!!
My theory for the spilled Blackthorn blood is Dun Dun Dun Emma. She got cut at least once it the whole spuffle fight scene, and since shes parabatai with Julian I think she shares blood metaphorically with him and therefore Blackthorn blood.
I'm finally early for once!! Some of these theories actually make some sort of sense. lol I could never think of these myself tho. love your videos Christine! xx
So excited for this book now!!!
great video! I'm sooooooo excited!!!
YOU BROUGHT BACK SO MANY FREAKING FEELINGS GAH CHRISTINEEEE
