#and I'm still a bit pissed bc he was SO nd coded

[thousand-winters]

You know, I keep thinking about how CC said she always planned to kill Christopher and I'm a little... yikes about it. It's not even about the killing, stories always have deaths and such, the thing that got me the most is the "that's why I gave him a younger brother to keep the bloodline" or whatever, I'm paraphrasing here

Logically I know this is the past and we gotta get to the modern Lightwoods somehow but... It just feels icky to me. I guess it's also in part bc back when I was reading and I got there, I made my little mental list of why the others couldn't be killed and Christopher was the easy choice

It comes down to his death being SO unnecessary for the plot and the development of the other characters, the kind of story this is. Shock value death (which makes me not truly believe she planned it from the beginning but let's pretend she did)

It's about how he was easy to kill bc he wasn't part of a ship, regardless of if it made sense, and the explanation is "someone already can fulfill the family purpose"
