My only big fear is that they actually will break all the parabatai bonds. It would be so heartbreaking and I really hope they don't do it. Imagine Simon and Clary and Jace and Alec not being parabatai, that'd break my heart :)

She CANNOT kill another Blackthorn, specially the baby Tavvy!!! My heart can't take this!

it would be so funny if cassie was watching this video with a list and checking what will happen and what won't 😂😂😂

December 4th is probably gonna be my death day...

I'm hoping for Kit and Ty to get together.

For the Mark/Cristina/Kieran theory, there's already a hint in chapter 12 of Lady Midnight, because when Cristina sees Mark and Kieran kissing, she feels desire "whether for Mark, or for both of them, or just for the idea of wanting someone so much, she wasn't sure." This isn't evidence of course, but it sort of shows that she has always been open to a polyamorous relationship with the two of them.

*QoAaD comes out* Me: oh my gosh I can't wait to get my hands on it and finally read it!!! Also me: *crying* I don't want to read because I don't want it to end Reads it anyways

When you said the thing about Ty stealing Livvy's gold chain, that made me think back to all the symbolism of gold chains in The Infernal Devices. In a lot of similies I noticed my second time reading through, they oddly compare life to a gold chain. Like, multiple times. And isn't the first book in The Last Hours going to be titled "Chain of Gold"? Anyway, its not important or anything I just think all the gold chain stuff is interesting 😂

*clary freaking fray* Okay I’m dying for that shirt, those tassels give me life. I Stan all these theories. I stan them so completely. They are my life. I looked my mom dead in the eye and said “the only thing I want for Christmas at all is queen of air and darkness. Please” but like I don’t think she took it seriously.

What really has me stumped is the warlock “disease” going around? What Cassie has answered on the topic really hasn’t helped me figure out what’s happening, maybe I’m dumb or missing something? I’m so scared for everyone tbh but my baby Magnus has never been that ill and I just NEED to know what’s going on.

While rereading Lady Midnight i found a part where Arthur tells Julian that he's a "good boy" but "it won't help him in the end" sooo I'm guessing he's either going to die or he's going to have to do something really bad in order to save his family or Emma... It totally sounds like Cassie to predict such a major thing on page 62 in Lady Midnight!!

I think Livvy knew she was going to die after she got poisoned and Magnus saved her. This would explain why she told kit to kiss her then asks to be just friends, made sure kit wouldn’t leave ty, said that she hoped her and kit would still be friends not her kit and ty, and going to talk to Julian alone when they found out about Arthur. It was like she was giving everyone a little goodbye. I think at some point she told Magnus about her feeling like she was going to die but she couldn’t explain it. And because Magnus is amazing he helped her. Now in Clockwork princess, Magnus was trying to use the book of white is to try to cure Jem. It is described as a book for binding spells, tying the body to the soul and untying it. Remember this was in the London institute library and surprise surprise Magnus cures livvy in the library. I think he remembers the book from that time trying to save jem and uses it on her to tie her to ty. This will explain why ty put his hand over his heart when livvy got stabbed like he could feel the pain and why he passed out. If this were to be the case, then the only two people that would know about it would be dead and in a coma. This calls for character development. It will show us how the family deals with real grief and what lengths ty and Jules will go to get her back. (Will they turn to necromancy??) Also I think the warlocks being sick has something to do with the Unseelie King who they probably wouldn’t face off until the end of the book so Magnus won’t wake up to tell the world she’s alive until much of the book has passed. Also she was killed in the last 3 pages of the book. Even Jem who didn’t really die got more that. I feel there is much more to her death that Cassie is letting on! I got most of this from tumblr here’s the link 😋 greekinggeeking.tumblr.com/post/163079009358/livia-blackthorn-may-survive

Yes to Sizzy wedding!

This made me realise how much I've already forgotten from the entire shadowhunter series...It was like she was speaking another language lol. Could not tell you who tf Ash, Deigo, Cam, Jaime, Keiran are to save my life 😂I have a feeling I'm going to have to reread those soul-destroying first two books again before QOAAD 😭

up until half of the video I was wondering who the heck is “high may” but then I realized it’s jaime but with a spanish pronunciation it sounds like “high may” 😂

Just realize that I don't remember anything about Lord of Shadows

This video got me even more excited for Queen of Air and Darkness! I love hearing your theories so much

I've been waiting for this theory video since last year and I literally can't wait

I'm hoping to get it for Christmas along with the second book in the trilogy as I only have the first. And I'll have had it for a year by the time I get QOAAD and LOS. And it has been bloody hard not reading it !! But I've persevered and kept it to read with the other two and I'm lowkey proud of myself for that haha

I am so here for the poly relationship between Mark/Christina and Kieran!!!! 🙌🏻💖

I'm like convinced that the warlock kit & ty came across on the shadowhunter market (in LOS) is in fact ragnor fell. That's basically the only theory I have😂

emma this video is so so sophisticated and well done and thought provoking and seeing how excited you are and how much work you put into and how much thought you put into this. it is so amazing and contagious and i love your channel and energy inspiring us all to not just read but to be ourselves and immerse ourselves into books and ah JSJSKS i’m so happy and proud of you? wow 💘

Omg, this is QoAaD theories, an announcement for a month of Shadowhunters videos, all from my favorite book tuber. This is the best thing I could ask for in advance to the end of the world

me: OOOO NEW EMMA VIDEO! **watches** **totally lost cause never read these series** **thumbs up**

Am I the only one who has the feeling that either Emma or Julian or both are gonna die? I'm so scared

loved this video. I started reading the shadowhunter chronicles because of you.

I am so excited for QoAaD! This video couldn't have come at a better time- I just started rereading LM today! Can't wait for more TDA November!

I've been waiting for this video for what feels like years lol I feel so blessed right now

I can't wait for QoAaD!!

I've been waiting for this video since I finished LOS more than a year ago!!! I'm so excited !! I just wanted to say it, now i'm going to watch it ❤️

I can’t believe there’s only one month left! Thanks for this video!! 💖

I was waiting for this video!!! I'm so excited for Queen of Air and Darkness and I love your channel, and how nice, smart, and thoughtful of a person you are!

Currently rereading Lord of Shadows. I can not wait until Queen of Air and Darkness comes out. Amazing video as always Emma. ☺

Omg I’m so excited for this book & your new series!! Yay

IM SO EXCITED AAH!! thanks for filming this!💞☺️

You look gorgeous! Also, OMG this video has the gears in my brain turning so hard. All I know is QOAAD is going to be EPIC and I need it now!!

All I'm going to say is that if Kieran and Mark don't get back together in some way, be it a three way relationship with Cristina or just them two, I'm going to cry.

(get ready for a hella long comment) I feel like the general consensus is that Ash is the secret weapon, also that he's the kid of the Seelie Queen and Sebastian (thanks to Christine) I feel like the Unseelie Queen and the Seelie Queen are more likely to be sisters I definitely feel like Ty will try something, also don't forget that Kit has the Herondale power to see ghosts Oh, there's also an old (old-ish, like right after LoS came out) theory when Cassie revealed that TWP was going to be based off of Arthurian legend that Livy would be the Lady of the Lake (sorry I can't give credit, it's on Tumblr) FUCK HORACE DEARBORN Zara's currently engaged to Diego, isn't she? I mean, I like that idea that she somehow becomes involved with Cameron SEXY FAERIE THREESOME (but in all seriousness, I do believe the polyamours relationship will happen, and it'll be great to have such a healthy representation of that) OMG THE SHADE THEORY I have quite a few Tumblr posts on this and I love both theories equally, I actually came across the Ragnor Shade one first and that lead me to make my John Shade theory (I am totally supportive of both though and cannot wait to find out). Personally, the only thing that would minimize the Ragnor Shade theory for me is I think if it had been Ragnor he would have stepped in when Kit, Ty, and Livy were being attacked and not just have left them, but that's all (links to my Tumblr theories: astridstarlight.tumblr.com/post/162128450970/ragnor-is-not-shade astridstarlight.tumblr.com/post/162248036820/who-is-shade ) Ansel Nightshade headcanon accepted Jia could die r she could be forced to abdicate her position because of her connections to Helen and with the Cohort now in such a strong position of power As for deaths, yeah I haven't a clue. I mean, I could technically see Tavy because yeah he's the most disposable. Julian maybe or Mark. Possibly Emma (in like a self sacrificing thing). Maryse, though she's not a main character. Diego maybe just because? If it's not Mark then Kieran (as in 'if one of them is going to die', not 'I want either or both of them to die' ,I don't). Clary. Lily maybe? (not that I'd want that, Lily is like literally me if she weren't a vampire, and born in modern time). Horace Dearborn (I'm waiting for like a Clockwork Princess moment like when Josiah Wayland was beheaded or whatever by an automaton, cause that's how douche-bag Inquisitors die in this series, except Horace would probably be taken out by like Malcolm's undead army, although if it were automatons that would be awesome also, John Shade. Just saying). Zara, just like her dad or maybe by Emma. Cameron, he feels disposable. Ansel Nightshade? ... okay so maybe I have a little more than not a clue

I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of it. I know I’m getting a copy of it for myself for Christmas so I’m so excited

YES I'm so hyped for this, bless you Emma 😍😍🙌

love how passionate you are about the shadowhunter series!

Oh God this made me realize how much i forgot about tda. I definitely need to reread

OMG!!!! FINALLY!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR MONTHS!!! YAYYYYY!

Been waiting for this!!! Thank you, Emma!!!

I seriously love the new outro song!

I'm so freakin' excited for QOAAD

Omg I’ve never clicked so fast in my life . I’ve been waiting for this video for weeks!!! Ahh !!! Love you Emma ! Please make more shadow hunter videos !!

It's crazy how accurate you are:D Because I'm reading QOAAD right now and I'm in the middle of the book^^

Emma: TDA November! Me: *makes sure bell notifications are on.* Yay!!!!!

During my reread of CIty of Glass, Simon asked something like “was there an inquisitor that didn’t die a tragic death” and so my theory was that Dearborn would be the one who gets executed. Or just die a tragic death. I also have this very far fetched theory, but seeing that poster that Cassie posted with Julian and Emma having wings, and I know that there’s a lot of fan arts with other characters having wings. But my theory was that, the amount of power that Julian and Emma will have together could possibly turn them into angels, so in that way, they won’t have a sad ending but they won’t have a happy one either. Cuz like they’re not with their family anymore but they’re not dead

So here for a Christina/Mark/Kieran relationship!

would've loved to hear more blackstairs theories ❣ but i lovvve the cameron ashdown & zara theory! i think i saw someone mention that one before...it'd such a plot twist!

I just filmed a theories video yesterday and now I have so many more that I never even thought about 😅😅So excited for TDA November though !!!

Thanks for the shout-out, Emma ♥ This was a lot of fun to watch and I can't wait for you to read Queen of Air and Darknes to see how many of your theories were right or wrong! I'm also already looking forward to your QoAaD discussion video :-D Happy reading once you own Queen of Air and Darkness and feel free to drop into my DMs on Twitter to fangirl xx

I FINISHED LORD OF SHADOWS TODAY AND IVE BEEN SO EMOTIONAL AND THIS VIDEO JUST MADE ME SO EXTRA EXCITED FOR QUEEN OF AIR AND DARKNESS AND I LOVE YOU AND IDNWKSJSKSIS ITS OUT SO SOON IM FREAKING OUTTT

Yes, can't wait for queen of air darkness.

I haven't seen all the video but I have to say: I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU SAY "JAIME" WITH THE SPANISH PRONUNCIATION OMG HE IS MEXICAN HIS NAME IS PRONUNCE IN SPANISH. UNDERSTAND PEOPLEEEEE

Great video Emma!!! I think another clue to the fact that the first heir ran away and married a Herondale is in Lord of Shadows when the raiders meet Emma and Julian in Cornwall and say while presenting themselves that they seek and find and that there has been only on thing they have sought but not found (to which Emma replays with "a sense of humour") - I think they are talking about the first heir here.

YES THAT SHADOWHUNTER CONTENT I NEED

Woooow another song at the end, shook

IVE BEEN DYING FOR THIS VIDEO ❤️✨

I have been waiting for this for so long!!!! ahhhh!😍😍😍 While doing homework I started to wonder: "It's one month away until the release of Queen of Air and Darkness, Emma cannot not upload her theories for the finale." 😂😂😂😁😁😁

Thats theories are blowing my mind♡♡

out here doing the lords work 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I love your theories!

Yknow I'm so grateful that i watched this despite not reading any of the novellas because i didnt realize how much i forgot about lord of shadows

ahhhhh i can't watch this video yet i haven't read the dark artifices yet. but i will come back when i'm done!! Love your channel

This isn't even a little bit funny how much you got right. You're good.

IM SO READY AND ALSO SO NOT READY FOR QOAD

Ohh loved all this theories. I feel very strong about the Ash theory. I’ve also felt like Mark/Kiernan/Christina poly relationship has been building through the entire series. It would make sense for it to happen, and perfect in my opinion. And yes the Ty one!

I think that I going to reread Lord of Shadows because there many things that I do not remember. I am sooo hyped up for QoAaD, this video was amazing that those theories OMG. I also read the theories from below and now I'm in the living room chatting(screaming) with my sister about theories. REMEMBER ABOU CORTANA, EMMA'S BLADE WHICH CAN CUT ALL.

Gurl the thumbnail had me thinking you had a whole ARC. The envy was real, close call :p

Hi I just wanted to say I’m finally caught up on the shadowhunter books and! i! can! watch! all! the! videos! without! muting!!!!!

Kit's the great-great grandson of the Unseelie King and the Seelie Queen.

I LOVED THIS VIDEO The demon faerie baby is something I've believed since the day I saw Christine's theory videos and everything seems to slowly confirm it, I'm like weirdly hyped for it. I fully support your Nightshade theory although if the clave surprisingly doesn't know it I think it's because he's a bastard so to say. I think it's likely that his mom was mundane and tried to raise him but with the sight he ended up with some vampires and since the clave didn't know about him there wasn't any fuss. If I remember correctly Malcolm and Nightshade were good friends and maybe that stems in hating shadowhunters for not letting them be with their true loves (that aren't shadowhunters). SISSY WEDDING!!!!! I think the courts are going to execute some shadowhunter and I sadly think it might be Jia because from the outside it looks like she decided to execute the cold peace. She is in the highest position and the fey ain't playing they want blood and vengeance. Ah so excited for the book!!!!!!

I'm finally getting the book!!

I screamed when I saw the notification thank you for making this video I was waiting for it❤ omg at this point I don't know if I'm more scared or excited about QoAD I think/hope that at some point there is going to be a poly Dynamik between Mark , Kieran and Cristina but in the end I think Mark and Cristina are gonna be endgame because Kieran is either going to die (maybe be executed ) or going to become king. Personally, I would prefer him becoming king and I also think it's more plausible since in Lord of Shadows his brother...Adaon or something? said something about how the court always loved him and how that's why Erec wanted to get him out of the court so he could be his father's favourite. I would actually love for Kieran to become King as he seems to have grown up a lot in Lord of Shadows. Also I don't think that Mark and Kieran's relationship is healthy and I wouldn't get the right message across. Omg yes , just like Mark is part faerie and part Shadowhunter and he shouldn't have to choose between them, he will not be able to choose between his two lovers. Omg this makes so much sense: all about Mark is split in half:his blood, where he lived , his eyes , it's only natural he Can't decide. or maybe in the end he will just be a shadowhunter but meh idk

THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHADE IS RAGNOR!!!!! John shade didn't know any herondales, but ragnor taught james and knew will, and was hired to spy on Cecilia and Edmund for YEARS. I just love ragnor from the bane chronicles SO MUCH!!! I was already very affected by raphael's death, and I need ragnor to come back!!! I am not ready for December 4th!

Those frilly selves are life. I'm in love with them

OMG YES I LOVE TDA NOVEMBER ALREADY

I really feel like I need to reread Lord of Shadows. I only read it a few months ago, but I remember nothing about it. I can't wait for QOAAD, and I'm really scared what's going to happen to Ty. I'm also terrified about everything else that is going to happen.

Ugh I have to prepare for this. Need to reread first two cause I forgot half of the things that happened there. Can't wait 🙌

Okay I don't if anyone saw my previous post, but it was basically comparing the end of TMI and TDA to WWI and WWII, and I believe that my theory is further proven with the new QOAAD snippet posted by Entertainment Weekly with the Dearborns and the Cohort wanting to register all Downworlders starting with the faeries, and so on and so forth as the Nazi's did with Jewish individuals.

Emma I think your theory about Rosemary is confirmed in the Land I Lost when Jem, Tessa, and Alec encounter someone in the Shadow Market who tells them a story about what they had been seeking. You should read it soon!

Looks like a great conglomerate of book reviews but since I only read the Clockwork series (which was heart wrenching, lots of action and a bit of well placed chuckles) and almost finished with Lady Midnight - I will finish this another day.

Oh my goodness I need to read all the shadow hunter books again. It’s been such a long time since I read them 😂

There's actually a really popular theory that this is an origin story for Julian or Jace, maybe both, where it shows how they became villains, so Clary or Emma could die. Jace has as much strength and power as Sebastian so he could become our villain in the Wicked Powers. Julian does say it only takes one choice to make you either a villain or hero. Julian has been heading down a darker path, so he could either keep going or turn around, it takes one choice. There was also an art piece showing Emma and Julian as angels, she had white wings, Julian's was black. Tavvy dying is unlikely because he's six and Cassie says he'll play a role again like in Lady Midnight where he helps Team Good. Tavvy is also a contrast character for Julian, he's what Julian would have been had the Dark War never happened. Tavvy is often compared to look like Julian, he enjoys painting, and he's the innocent childlike representation of Julian. Plus even though Cassie says The Wicked Powers will be the last Shadowhunter series, she also said there would be no sequel series to The Infernal Devices, and after City of Glass she was done. Both didn't end up being the last in the series. We could get a series later with Tavvy grown up along with Max and Rafe, and it would be an interesting dynamic, we could see how life is after the Wicked Powers through them.

That makes so much sense Jack Crow being Jonny Rook, know this might sound far fetched but isn't a type of Crow called a rook ?

THAT SHIRT!! 😍😍😍😍 GURL.

I think it’ll be Julian. Full story and the corrupt Clave, Emma and Julian will have a goodbye scene that gives us closure on their relationship and Emma then dedicates her time to finding out the curse. Also with regards to clary, I can see he dying at the end of the shadowhunters chronicles. Cassie loves a full circle endin.

In The Land I Lost, it explains that Rosemary is in fact the descendant of the First Heir! And yes 100% believe Rosemary is Kit's mom! We'll see her again in Through Blood Through Fire!

The Shadowhunter world just literally has centuries worth of baggage. There's a lot to keep up with 😂😂😂

THESE THEORIES ARE AMAZING yes to TDA NOVEMBER I just started rereading lord of shadows why are we like this The weapon is SO Sebastian’s spawn there is no question Cristina/mark/Kieran has to happen WHAT IS THIS SHIRT YOURE WEARING I LOVE IT I’m S O E X C I T E D

I just looooove watching theory-videos. Sadly, I feel it's so long ago that I read the last book (Lord of Shadows) that I am mostly thinking "who's that?" "who's that?" "who's that?" This just reminded me, that I need to re-read the first 2 books in the series.

I clicked as fast as I could😂😂❤️❤️

i can’t watch this video because i haven’t read lord of shadows yet BUT JUST KNOW I’LL WATCH THIS AFTER I’M FINISHED WITH LOS JUST YOU WAIT 😅😂 and i love the shirt, emma!

ty is the only one I care about living and I’m so happy he’s confirmed to live

I purposefully didn’t ready Lord of Shadows after Lady Midnight so I didn’t have to suffer during the wait. I didn’t realize there was only a month left! I guess I’ll have to buy it and read it during my school break this month to be ready. The downside is that I have to wait to watch the video😫

Aaah!! I didn't even think of Jia dying oh my god I have the same theory about Ash being held captive by the Unseelie King but my theories on Kit and Shade are quite different. Kit is the only known descendant of the First Heir, the child of the Unseelie King and the Seelie Queen (mah boy is related to Kieran and Ash aw) and I think that he'll have a power revealed in QoAaD that will somehow lead to him being in a situation where it's made clear that he has some sort of claim over the two thrones of the faerie courts. I don't think he'll end up actually ruling any of them since he's a shadowhunter first but I think it'll be made obvious that he has a right to them and he'll be seen as a threat. Since Eochaid of the Seven Riders recognised him I think we'll see the Riders of Manaan show up again because the King will want to get his hands on Kit for some reason. It could be possible that the one execution is of the Unseelie King if one of his sons get the throne like Kieran tried to get his brother to do. The only reason I think John Shade is the warlock Ty, Livvia, and Kit encountered in the Shadow Market is because they both are warlocks who have green skin and go by the nickname 'Shade'. I think it's a bit of a stretch to assume they are the same person since John Shade was killed in 1815 by Aloysius Starkweather and some other Shadowhunters but one thing the Seelie Queen said to Julian made me think that a comeback would be possible [ page 273 of Lord of Shadows]: '"It is a weakness of your king, to regard death as so final," said the Queen with glee, "especially when it comes to warlocks." Now that was in context to Malcolm returning but who knows? Maybe it's applicable to Shade as well since he didn't show the trio his face and wore a hood, perhaps because in 1815 he was decapitated. If he was decapitated, his head was probably kept as 'spoils' from battle, which Aloysius Starkweather showed Tessa in TID and perhaps Shade doesn't have a head right now? I'm aware that it's a stretch but who knows at this point. I love your video and can't wait for the others as part of TDA November!! Much love

In Mark's case, time was slowed down in Faerie BUT in Arthur and Andrew's case, time in Faerie was like 7 years or something but IRL it was only a day so time in Faerie moved faster which explains how Ash could be older

Emma: I don't think Cassie would kill off Helen after just getting her back Remember in Clockwork Princess when Jessamine was released from the Silent Prison and was killed off after like...2 seconds💀
