Hailey Cassandra Clare has said that one of the main characters in her books are going to die. Which do you think it will be?
Personally I think it will be Jem because he has the whole disease thing and the only way Tessa can be with Will without me wanting to kill Tessa is if Jem isn't there because as much as I love Will, Jem still doesn't deserve to have his heart broken.

LE Oh no, I don’t want any of the characters to be killed off. I don’t think it will be Jem though; that would probably be too obvious. Maybe Cassandra Clare is trying to trick people into thinking that Jem will die, but actually it’ll be Will. (Because Tessa appears in TMI series) :(

Either way, I reckon I’ll cry – a lot.


Andrez I have a feeling it won't be Jem. I have no idea who will die, though


Alex Probably Jessie, maybe even Will but that isn't likely to happen.

i dont really consider jessie a main character tho i think she was just in the story so she could betray everyone

yep it dosent matter who dies tears are a for sure thing bound to happen.


george ☽ I dont think that Will is going to die. I think that Jem will die. (And thats not because I'm Team Will) I think that Jem will die protecting either Tessa or Will... but then again, I think that Will and Tessa would never get together if Jem was dead and still dating... erm... courting Tessa... so I really dont have any idea!

This is pasted from Cassandra Clare’s website:

“She is in the epilogue of City of Glass. “‘Magnus stood in the shadow of a tree, talking to a girl in a white dress with a cloud of pale brown hair. She turned as Magnus looked toward them, and Clary locked eyes with her for a moment across the distance that separated them. There was something familar about her, though Clary couldn’t have said it what it was.’” Why Tessa is there, whether she is immortal or a ghost, and why she is talking to Magnus, is a mystery at this time that will be sorted out in later books. Speaking of later books: I often get asked if Tessa will appear in future TMI volumes. Unfortunately I can’t answer that as it’s a spoiler!”


Oh my – “immortal or ghost” – maybe it is Tessa who dies???


Rania Will cant die! there has to be a new herondale generation. bc hello jace herondale! and tessa is immortal. that was clear in COG and COFA. I think maybe jessie will die. bc there r no shadowhunters with her last name in TMI. I hope Jem doesnt die. oh pls no...

at one point shes talking to magnus


Rania Tessa cannot die! In COFA Magnus was thinking of tessa: *In a world where everything went away from him eventually, she was one of the few remaining constants.*

I think Jem will die, but I don't want him to.

whoa i didnt even realize tht!


Olivia Ebersole I think it's gonna be Jem. Yes, thats the obvious one, but hey if Will dies how is Jace alive? (Unless Cecily keeps her last name) And Tessa cant die coz shes in COG (unless shes a ghost, which i think is highly unlikely) and Jem already has a diesase. Plus those three are what i think of the main characters sooooooo....Jem. *SOB*

oooooooooooo i didnt think bout cecily!


Olivia Ebersole I KNOW! theres jus so many things to consider!


Hailey cassandra clare is like a genius! i mean how does she think of all this stuff?!

Yes it would be sad if Tessa died but in the end of clockwork prince I heard that she treated Will like crap!

She has a brain. and she put it to VERY good use. unlike me.....


message 20: by Jess (new) - rated it 5 stars

Jess Wow. Half this stuff I've never considered.

Notice that Alec has the traits of Will Herondale (and his sister!) but he is a lightwood. Sooo maybe Cecily gets with Gabriel. (Weird thought!). And there are no Carstairs in TMI and there are no Greys or Lovelaces; so either way Jessie does not pass on the name. Maybe she marries again? Or maybe she is the character that dies. I think Jem will think that he is dying (really dying) and so break it off with Tessa to save her the heartbreak, or he realizes that Will and Tessa love each other and so he ends the engagement (hopefully with his blessing). And Will must have a child because the name goes on to Stephen and then Jace. Ha! That’s ironic if it’s true. Because to start with Will hates the Lightwoods and then his sister marries one then all their descendants are related, meaning that Alec and Isabelle are actually related to Jace (by blood not just feelings!).

I think Henry will die.....


Rania All this guessing is driving me crazy, I want to know!


message 25: by Pip (new) - rated it 5 stars

Pip I have no idea! I have a feeling Tessa/Will/Jem will all live. Maybe Charlotte or Henry? Not sure. But if Will dies, I will hate Cassandra Clare FOREVER


Melody The most obvious canadiate is Jem because of his illness but Camielle does say to Magnus in COFA something about not being able to forgive himself for not saving him implying Will because Alec reminds Magnus of Will with his dark hair and eyes My guess is it will be Will since there is still Cecily to carry on the Herondale name but my guess is shes going to be with one of the Lightwood boys either way If one of these boys die there will be tears I just hope that it is Jem ....sorry to the Jem lovers out there he is a good character but I am a Herondale boy fan through and through:)


message 27: by [deleted user] (new)

Cassandra Clare can't kill Will, nor Henry, not Charlotte, nor Tessa, nor Jem, but I fear Jem might die :'(


Emily It is probably going to be Jem. Tessa has to end up with Will one way or another right?


Rania Right! or hopefully right...
come on tessa has to end up with someone. that someone has to be Will. We know will cant die.


★ Mist ☆ Cassidy ★ I have a feeling that it will be either Charlotte or Henry

i think this answer is fantastic! makes so much sense! however cecily wouldn't be able to carry on the herondale name as it would change once she is married.


Tania Cassandra has said that there are other Herondale families out there, so it is not necessarily Will that is related to Jace...

Going back to the question, I think it will be Jem. He seems to be the likely choice with what he is going through, and I think he would be happy if his best friend and the girl he loves got together afterwards... The two people he loved the most together and happy. Seems like a good story to me...


Nurlely If CC said so, then it will probably (or most likely) be Jem.
I only care about Will and Tessa be together and alive. I care less of who is going to die.

ok were does it say in COFA??


Nurlely Rania wrote: "ok were does it say in COFA?? "

I second that Rania.
I dug my memory for that, but failed.


Michaela N Sadly i think it will be Will... :( i have a bad feeling about it. I mean, with Jem it would be really too obvious. Almost everyone expects him to die because of his illness.

Nurlely Oh my. If it's Will, then I will die with the series. And I will hate CC and will not read her next novels.

Hmmm...mad enough.

Btw....aren't the fantasy series stories always too obvious and predictable? The storyline can be as complicated and miserable as possible (usually because of triangle love), but the ending is usually a happy one.


Michaela N I'll definitely keep my fingers crossed for an happy ending. For all of them :)


Rania The very main chaeactor cant die. thats like saying Jace will die in TMI. Will started with the story in TID. If he dies the story will die with him.


Gabby I think it will be Mortman. ;)

Or Tessa will leave Jem and he'll die faster as he says her love has made him better recently.


message 41: by AJ (new) - rated it 5 stars

AJ I really don't know. Jem is the obvious choice, but is he too obvious? I have a feeling that it could be Will (which would break my heart), but it does leave the question about the Herondale name. Maybe it's Tessa, and she really is a ghost that communicates with Magnus.

But having said that, I just can't see CC killing off Will or Tessa.

Maybe Henry or Charlotte, or one of the Lightwood brothers. Perhaps it will be Sophie dying in childbirth leaving a little Lightwood behind...


Nurlely If CC said one of the main characters, Sophie is not one. And although Mortmain plays an important role, he is not one either. Aren't the main Will, Tessa & Jem?
Who should we include into the group?

I think sophie is, it is Will, Jem, Tessa, Charlotte, Magnus and Sophie, this is because all these characters have developed throughout the book, we've learnt of their love lives, feelings and thier behaviour, so I would argue they are main charcaters because we'd feel something if they were killed off


Rania yes we have read tessas, wills, jems, sophies and charlotte POV through out the story so they are considered main charactors.


message 45: by Dannielle (last edited Jan 18, 2012 04:30AM) (new)

Dannielle Someone of importance is going to die. Whether it be Mortmain, Will, Jem, Henry, or Charlotte (or more than one). Cassandra herself said (in regards to both series), that she isnt going to write a 'happy ending' just because it is desired. But rather, that she will write an ending befitting to the story. Whether or not that entails misery, we will never know :\

My take:

Either Will will die from protecting his Sister/Tessa/Jem

or

Jem will succumb to his disease and die in that way. (which I dont find predictable at all. Its ironic that you predict Cassie will "obviously" pull a twist and kill someone else, but sometimes things dont need to be a surprise. Jem is deathly ill... it makes the most sense at this point - atleast for me. If Charlotte or Henry die instead, that would be a shock, but it would feel almost as if it shouldnt have happened, and their deaths were just written for pure shock value. I just wouldnt take it seriously

but then again these are just opinions. & I'm sure Cassie will write every scene - whether it be a death scene or an action scene - beautifully.

Thankyou AJ :) <3 !


Kashpa Has anyone realized that Will doesn't have that herondale mark? (i mean the one jace has,and his grandmother saw in COA and knew for sure that jace was a herondale)
maybe Wll comes in contact with an angel in the next book and gets the star shaped mark and passes it on to the next generations...
and when someone meets an angel don't they get a wish come true? like when clary asked for jace to live in COG? Will might ask for jem's disease to go away or for tessa?

i kno it seems not so likely but its an option (:

Good idea, Kashpa. I hadn’t thought of that.

I don’t know who will die in the next book. But I’m almost certain that it won’t be Magnus or Camille… He he. :)

Magnus is awesome! Cassandra Clare should write a series based around him as the main character.


Rania Will doesnt have the mark the next generation will. so that means in CP3 he will come in contact with an angel!
