Incredibly, I didn't cry as I read that.
Magnus really was right: "The first one is always the hardest."

I think he hates himself for what he did, so when Clary told him that maybe the sword burned all that away, that maybe this was who he really is, he didn't believe it because he truly despises himself for the wrong he had done.

But he wasn't evil at all. He was good.
"I didn't know the difference."
SEE! WE TOLD EVERYONE SEBASTIAN DIDN'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE, AND THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE US! They thought he was just evil. But there is always a strong motive behind that 'evilness', always a reason. And Sebastian d-i-d-n-t k-n-o-w!

Now he's dead, he does.

I've been thinking.
Emma Carstairs parents' were killed by Sebastian's Endarkened, right? And the plot of TDA resolves around Emma seeking those who killed her parents and getting justice. But how can she seek justice if Sebastian's dead?

She does seem pretty badass. Like a mix between Izzy and Tessa.

Except without Tessa's adoration for books.

She does seem very badass though. She is so headstrong and determined, and for her to go through what she went through at just 12, all that anger will drive her.

Remember Emma's parents were not an the institute when the Sebastian attacked. They could have been kill ed by someone else, their bodies were mangled and put in the sea, if Sebastian got to them the would have turned or died, not put in the ocean

That is so strange.
I wonder who did it.

Idk

I do

If some of the characters from TMI didn't partake in TDA, I wouldn't read them.
I've grown to love these characters, and to have TDA with just brand new characters would just be weird and foreign.

There was all new characters in TID and we all still read it. Even if there all new characters in TDA I will still read it. Shadowhunter books will never bore me, there's always things for Cassandra to explore in the shadow world.

What I meant to say was that if the characters that may appear in TDA (Magnus, Alec, Simon) didn't survive CoHF, then I wouldn't have read them.
I was worried that I wouldn't like Emma and Jules and the Blackthorns because of their age, because I just don't necessarily take to children well and I was concerned that, because of their age and sense of mind, there would be nothing I would be able to relate to.
But there was. And I loved Jules especially. And Ty also. So I really cannot wait to read about them.

Me neither. I'm so excited to read about Emma and all the blackthorns! I already really like all of them. Especially Emma and Jules though, also Ty because he's not a character Cassie has ever done before. And he likes Sherlock Holmes!!

Hey guys! I can't wait for TDA! and I hope in one of the TDA books tessa tells jace about them being related. I know there's new characters but I think the old ones will be in them aswell. I'd hate to think that tessa has just left it as it is without jace knowing :/

Same here! And I really want to see Simon Ascend and become Clary's parabatai.

Definitely! I hope he gets all his memories back because I love the old Simon!
