About the author

Cassandra Clare was born to American parents in Tehran, Iran and spent much of her childhood travelling the world with her family, including one trek through the Himalayas as a toddler where she spent a month living in her father’s backpack. She lived in France, England and Switzerland before she was ten years old.

Since her family moved around so much she found familiarity in books and went everywhere with a book under her arm. She spent her high school years in Los Angeles where she used to write stories to amuse her classmates, including an epic novel called “The Beautiful Cassandra” based on a Jane Austen short story of the same name (and which later inspired her current pen name).

After college, Cassie lived in Los Angeles and New York where she worked at various entertainment magazines and even some rather suspect tabloids where she reported on Brad and Angelina’s world travels and Britney Spears’ wardrobe malfunctions. She started working on her YA novel, City of Bones, in 2004, inspired by the urban landscape of Manhattan, her favourite city. She turned to writing fantasy fiction full time in 2006 and hopes never to have to write about Paris Hilton again.
Cassie’s first professional writing sale was a short story called “The Girl’s Guide to Defeating the Dark Lord” in a Baen anthology of humor fantasy. Cassie hates working at home alone because she always gets distracted by reality TV shows and the antics of her cats, so she usually sets out to write in local coffee shops and restaurants. She likes to work in the company of her friends, who see that she sticks to her deadlines.

City of Bones was her first novel. Sword Catcher is her most recent novel.

This was a cute extra for Chain of Gold and my love for Jordelia has amplified ten times more. (and I already was a huge stan hehe)

Cassie is a true demon. After reading this, does she really expect me to wait patiently (not that I was doing that before) for Chain of Thorns? (for which we might add we don't even have a release date, we don't have a cover and we don't have a sypnopsis) Knowing what James felt in this scenes? This is just pure torture. PURE TORTURE.

Woah, James! Oh God! I Just wish this boy knew what was *making* him (think he) love(s) Grace! This scene, tbh, was amazing from James's pov. But is it so bad if I ask for a pov from Jesse or Matthew? Like please give me that!
Also,

I need more fanart of this scene!!

“Cordelia danced, and by the end of her performance, James’s entire life had been disassembled and put back together in a new and different shape.”

[Athena of Velaris]

"Queen Cordelia, daughter of Leir, ruler of Britain before the Romans had ever landed on those shores. Like Boadicea, a legendary warrior queen. A blazing white fire behind fathomless black eyes."

TIHSFDKJHSD! JAMES AND CORDELIA! I NEED CHAIN OF THONRS!

All James’ life, he had struggled for control: control over his sudden falls into shadow, control over the dark world he could see, that was invisible to everyone else. He had worked and fought and trained for control every day, and for the first time in as long as he could remember it deserted him.

THEY ACTUALLY MADE THIS!!

(For those who don’t know, this is the famous chapter from Chain of Gold, but from James’s pov)

All James’ life, he had struggled for control: control over his sudden falls into shadow, control over the dark world he could see, that was invisible to everyone else. He had worked and fought and trained for control every day, and for the first time in as long as he could remember it deserted him.
The walls he had put up burned to the ground in an instant as he caught Cordelia to him.
He groaned against her mouth, his hands slipping over the silk of her dress, the hot satin of her skin. He undid the strap that held Cortana, got rid of it somehow — carefully, he hoped — and let himself fall back into.delirium.

Nessuno riesce a descrivere questo tipo di scene con una profondità, una dolcezza, una passione e una devozione tale come Cassandra Clare! 😍

Mi sono ritrovata senza fiato! 😜

E adesso, mannaggia a te Clare necessito di CoI e so che soffrirò come un cucciolo abbandonato alla furia della pioggia da solo!

Cioè... io non so se sono pronta a farmi spappolare il cuore... ecco...😩

"And yet. I have always thought... is not knowing what it tastes like just another form of torture? The torture of wondering?"

JORDELIA LADIES AND GENTS

[Sophie · Rating 5 out of 5]

life is good

I waited for this to finally drop and I must say I‘m not disappointed.
I ship them so hard, if they don‘t end up together I‘ll cry.




Petition to officially start calling James Herondale, James Hoerondale

Short read about James point of view of a very unforgettable scene from chain of gold.

[Magical_Bookworm · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such a cute extra for The Last Hours. I loved getting James's point of view of the whispering room scene.
