Along with this snippet, Cassie also shared a sneak peak into the book's artwork in her recent newsletter. Here's what Cassie shared about the collection of pictures she shared in newsletter:
Kathleen Jennings, who created the interior artwork for the 10th Anniversary edition of City of Bones, has returned to the Shadowhunter world to do an interior illustration for Queen of Air and Darkness! I’m thrilled to be working with her again, and I thought you might enjoy seeing some of her work-in-progress shots. It’s always great fun to see a project go from the sketch stage to a finished illustration.
The pictures she's shared look amazing. Here's a couple of those pictures she shared.
