Cassandra Clare Answers Fan Questions


Just catching up on some of Cassie's recent posts over the past two weeks. Prior to before and right after CoHF was released, Cassie took some time to answer fan questions on Tumblr. Cassie's answers are highlight in orange.

Will you be writing another heart breaking love triangle anytime soon???
Yes.
(Okay, and to be fair that means “for some value of soon.” Someday, I will write a love triangle again. I can’t say in which book series or when. But it will definitely be completely different than anything I’ve done before, so I’m excited about it.)

Parabatai (again!)
Somewhat (very lightly) spoilery for CoHF — don’t click if you hate spoilers.
Okay, first question. We see a lot of what the actual, physical effects of the Parabati bond can be in this book….

Would you ever write about what Tessa did during the 130 years between TID and TMI? I mean, besides from TLH of course. SHe's just one of my favorite characters in existence so I'm just curious as to what she was up to all those years
I might, but I think it would be hard to do the Tessa Chronicles before TLH was finished, without spoiling what happens in TLH. She is a major character, and of course the (somewhat cataclysmic) events have to do with her children and their best friends. It’s something that would shape the rest of her life. 
I did really enjoy the Bane Chronicles (as did Sarah and Maureen) and discussions are ongoing about a similar project, but not centering on Tessa. :)

Hi Cassandra, I was just wondering if you know or have decided on how many books there are going to be in your Dark Artifices series? Thanks!
Three. Lady Midnight, Lord of Shadows, and Queen of Air and Darkness.
I think this is literally all you could ever want to know about The Dark Artifices. http://tmisource.com/the-dark-artifices/more-on-the-dark-artifices/
Keep in mind that since The Dark Artifices is a work in progress, details will change but likely nothing huge!
How are some of the TDA characters affected by the events of COHF? One could imagine how traumatizing it was for some of them (Emma, Jules, Mark, etc).
SPOILER TAG JUST IN CASE
I don’t think it’s spoilery to say that of course the events of TDA were traumatic for the Blackthorn and Emma (because we all knew that was going to happen, it’s part of Emma’s character description) and that a lot of TDA is going to show how they work through that trauma. After all, their lives are irrevocably changed by what happened to them — every single one of them, in different ways. And if you read the “leaf note” at the back of the book then you know something really major about at least one of them.
The next question IS SPOILERY FOR COHF. So it is under a read more cut.
