Can we, as the Shadowhunter fandom, just collectively ignore that Christopher died in Chain of Thorns and move on as if that never happened? As in Christopher survived for whatever reason and everyone is happy? Is this too much to ask?
Christopher Lightwood was the worst, the saddest, the hardest death to get through that Cassie has ever written.
More than Livvy or George Lovelace. Christopher was the closest to the main characters, if not a main character himself, part of a solid group and actually had a future laid out for him (his inventions, Grace) and it was stolen from him.
Christopher Lightwood deserved better. Ave Atque Vale, Kit.
my biggest issue with chain of thorns is that we're told about some big/emotional events but we don't get to see them...
oh! will and tessa cried when they found out their kids were trapped in london! right after finding out their nephew died. but you won't get to read this scene
gabriel and cecily's son died! and they found out when his body was brought to them! but you won't get to read that scene!
will and tessa found out about the gracelet and were upset. but you won't get to read that.
charles confronted bridgestock and came out to the entire enclave in a very brave and dramatic way! but you won't get to read that!
like??? we had to suffer through 300 pages of a bullshit love triangle (i refuse to believe people honestly thought herondaisy won't be canon) but we couldn't get some genuinely important moments???
