That'd be so gross and cool! Ugh! I like your theory...!
But why not Mrs. Black? She was nicer to Tessa, anyway...

There's a ritual performed over Shadowhunter babies when they are born that confers on them certain protections. This just wouldn't be possible.

Awww :) reading that made my studying-for-chem a much easier mountain to climb.

Thank you so, so infinitely much for answering all of these questions :). I absolutely adored Clockwork Angel (and of course tMI too, but CA is the one I'm currently obsessed with) and reading these was much fun.

Glad to hear you like Will more than Jace, since I do too! :)


Thanks so much! And thank you for bringing these brilliant books to us :D

"if Church is something disguised as a cat to be in the Institute to destroy it from the inside then he is playing a really long game. He has been the Institute's cat for 140 years and hasn't done anything sinister.
"

Yes but cat's are known for their patience. And i personally think cat's are always up to something...

This answer is from: http://www.yareads.com/author-intervi...

"[Cassie:] Oh, character names change all the time. Remember those earlier blurbs date from a time when City of Glass wasn’t finished, so Ragnor Fell wasn’t Ragnor Fell. He had some other last name. When I settled on Fell for him, I changed Tessa’s last name so no one would think there was a connection. Also there’s a reason her last name is so close to Clary’s false last name, Fray."

Google does wonders if you want to ask questions that have already been asked. ;)


message 1075: by Abbie (new)

Abbie Lamborne | 2 comments I just found this web page. Sorry for it being later than the end date. My question is whether it was important that when Tessa and Will kissed that she tasted blood? Since he was getting rid of vampire blood in his system, does that mean that it is Tessa's? Is this important at all?


message 1076: by Whitney (new)

Whitney (whitneychakara) | 18 comments smdh by it being pass the end date means she is no longer answering questions here she has moved on .

Jennifer | 2 comments **********Spoiler for CA***********

When Will came to live at the institute he brought the Pyxis with him.His parents came for him and he hid. My question is did something happen with the Pyxis to make him leave to the institute? And does Pyxis have to do with the way Will is and all the secrets?

Tal Taran (tobstaylor) | 21 comments Jennifer wrote: "Who's J.T.S. on the pocket watch he wanted her to use to change?"

That, is a pretty stupid question. It's obviously going to be answered in one of the following books. If you get told everything then there's nothing left to learn in the following books. In a series you have to answer some questions but also create more at the same time until the series end. Otherwise it would be somewhat boring, might as well not be part of the same series and just be another book.


message 1083: by [deleted user] (new)

I agree that the question will likely be answered later, but there's no reason to call the question stupid.


message 1084: by Tal (new)

Tal Taran (tobstaylor) | 21 comments I weren't saying it in a way like that. I was just saying really that if you think about it, it's a pretty pointless question to ask. That's all.


message 1085: by [deleted user] (new)

Okay, yeah, I can see that. It's not a question she would answer. It's hard, through the internet, to really get someone's tone. Sometimes, their words sound harsher than they mean for them to.


message 1086: by Tal (new)

Tal Taran (tobstaylor) | 21 comments Yeah I have that problem too. It's mainly I think because the English language is so affected by how we say things as well as what we say.


message 1087: by [deleted user] (new)

Exactly. The inflection in your tone can completely change the way something is taken :).

But how on earth that you know it was Tessa, does Magnus ever say that it was Tessa our does everybody just decided that it was Tessa because she look like her. Wow Cassie never answer the question about Tessa Fell ... I would have love to know.


message 1089: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi Koumamo :).
We never knew for certain it was Tessa until Cassandra Clare confirmed it during one of the discussions :). I think she said she originally wanted to use Fell for Tessa's last name, but changed her mind later.


message 1090: by Ealhya (new)

Ealhya  (darkn3ss) | 2 comments Hi Candance,
Cassie just told me that Tessa is not related to Fell in any way !! But when you said we never knew it was Tessa are you talking about the name or are you talking about the girl in the white gown.


message 1091: by [deleted user] (new)

I was talking about the girl in the white dress. There's no indication in COG who she is, but Clare later confirmed it was Tessa.
I just meant the last name "Fell" was something she thought about in the beginning, but decided against later on. Though, I could be wrong on that, and if I am, feel free to correct me :).


message 1092: by [deleted user] (new)

I don't know about international release dates, but I'll search around for it, and let you know :).


message 1093: by [deleted user] (new)

I think you meant City of Glass :). Well, I think we had already determined that Tessa was immortal...but we have no confirmation about Will or Jem. They might be immortal...or they might not. Most humans don't die at exactly the same time, but they can still have a relationship. So, basically, even if Tessa is immortal and the boy she chooses isn't...they could still have a life together :).
I don't know about Clary finding her familiar, but I have a theory about it...:)

I am impressed to see this discussion continuing on without me! Candace, you're doing a good job fielding questions! For the person who said I should shut off the q and a since I'm not answering questions - believe me I would if I could figure out how . . .

Cassie

Oh, and as for turning it off, I think, since you are a moderator, you can go open the topic and beside the title will be "edit". From there, I think you can turn off the topic.

I love your books but im comused which one is TMI & which one is MI and also do we know if Tessa actualy is a warlock or is she somethin else?


message 1098: by [deleted user] (new)

I don't understand the first part of your question. Do you mean which is TMI (The Mortal Instruments) and which is TID (Infernal Devices)?

We don't know what Tessa is yet, but someone in the book made a remark that she lacks the mark of a warlock.

And Magnus believes she is a warlock.


message 1100: by [deleted user] (new)

I think he thinks she is, but I think Clare said Tessa is a new type of Downworlder we haven't met, yet.
