Cassandra Clare Interviews Galore
Cassie was kind enough to answer our Q&A regarding Clockwork Angel specifically.
But she also talked to Novel Novice ahead of her big event in NYC earlier this month, and even gave us a wonderful shout-out!
Cassandra Clare Guest Blogs
Cassie wrote not one, but two guest posts for us.
First, she talked about Tessa’s Reading List from Clockwork Angel.
Then, she discussed the relationship between Clockwork Angel and A Tale of Two Cities
