the familiar taste of poison

Literacy crisis WHO? This was said in the most vocal fried Californian accent ever. I hope The Girls enjoy some Russian lit this summer.

Laughing like he isn’t gonna get collared tomorrow

Will we learn more about Andrew and Eleanor Blackthorn in TLKOF? Will Ty or Dru be thinking about them as they go on their adventures?

A very little. In the scenes in TLKOF from Ty's perspective, there is no room or reason for him to think about them. Dru wears her mother's gear and thinks briefly about her father, but he died when she was eight, and Eleanor when she was even younger. To her, her parental figure is Julian, who she thinks about a lot, as does Ty.

I was just wondering, since it's mentioned quite a few times, does Ty's hair and eye colours (different from the rest of the other blackthorn siblings) hide a piece of information we're still missing??

Nope! It is meant to be a fun piece of business tying him back to Jesse and the other Blackthorns of that time. That's all.

Hey Cassie, I know we've just got A Sea of Change where we saw what happened to Mathew Fairchild after the TLH. And we sort of know that James and Cordelia lived happily ever after TLH but are we gonna see them later in their lives? Maybe James or Cordelia or Lucie could even get mentioned in the TWP? Maybe their ghosts could make a cameo? Or their story ended at TLH?

The forward progress of their stories ends with TLH. They do not live on forever or return as ghosts. We may hear bits and pieces about their lives, as history (Matthew's apartment in Paris lives on). It's not to say someday there might be a short story or something, who knows?! — but not in TWP.

Hi Cassie!

I was wondering, does Ash remember or have any memories of Nene? I totally get if you can’t answer this but I loved their short story and would love to see more of them!

He does! He remembers her well though he won't necessarily admit it at first. She certainly changed him, as he has only known otherwise terrible role models.

Will we get any boyfriend moments in the first book? I know it's too spoiler, but.. but...

I don't know what that means! — and googling did not help me. Google did tell me that boyfriends should go canoeing or kayaking together, though I am not sure they would like that. You will have to clarify next round. :)

hi cassie!

i was wondering if we are going to see a little bit of the sill on-going beef between emma and zara. i remember zara still being super angry and promising to kill emma when she got out of idris soooo maybe IF she gets out… will we see round 2? 👀 or is zara over it?

Zara is never over anything, but she also has beef with a lot of people. You'll definitely see her though she has bigger problems than Emma in TLKOF.

heronstairs asked:

hey Cassie, i'm super curious to know if we learn why the runed gun only fires for James & Kit during the plot of twp. it's been haunting me. very excited to reenter the shadow world in tlkof!! <3

We already know why it fires for James, but we will indeed find out why it fires for Kit, too, in TWP. Ty figures it out.

iveneverbeenanaturalt asked: Will Maryse’s brother be in TWP? any chance we'll see them reunite?

We will definitely see Max. (Max 2? Max 3?) His knowledge proves invaluable. Maryse and Max reunited before TLKOF so that would have to be in special content or a deleted scene. (For those of you who have not read Better in Black, you will find out who Max is!)

Are Emma and Julian planning to expand their family?

“…Oh come now, no need to be so frightened. The important thing is, we found each other. You stumbled into my domain, after all. I’ll give you an idea of just how excruciatingly painful my powers can be…”

This is Mansur Alzalam. He is an ambitious and sophisticated mage who lives an isolated lifestyle. Self-taught and highly brilliant in all forms of arcane knowledge, the extent of his power is not entirely known. A self-proclaimed connoisseur of all things magic, he spends most of his time refining his arsenal of magical tools, inventions, and creatures of his own design. Although, with all his knowledge there is one wish of his that seems to constantly just be out of reach…

@oddberryshortcake and I got another one. Created from the yearning for more antagonistic characters in the series ironically full of villains. As a treat. Hope you enjoy him and whatever may come from him going forward 🙇💙
