Trilogy accomplished! Which means more thanks than I can adequately express go to:
Karen Wojtyla, who was absolutely right about the book needing one last go-round, as she is about so much; Emily Fabre; and Valerie Shea. Also to Nicole Russo and everyone at Simon & Schuster for tireless marketing efforts on behalf of “Oh God, those demon books.”
Kristin Nelson and everyone at NLA, for everything.
Venetia Gosling, Kathryn McKenna, and everyone at Simon & Schuster UK, plus Scott Westerfeld and Justine Larbalestier, for so much, including an awesome UK tour.
All my foreign publishers, who without exception dazzle me.
Holly Black, who stayed up all night in London to read the first draft of this book, made it so half the edits my editor suggested were already done, and is basically a Heroine of the Revolution. If you ever want a liver, Holly, I’ll…get one somehow. Also, thank you for the most fun tour ever.
Cassandra Clare, who organized the secret writing location where half this book was written.
My amazing first readers: Saundra Mitchell, Justine Larbalestier, and Karen Healey.
My family and friends, who for some reason have not yet put me on an iceberg and pushed me out to sea, as I understand the Eskimos do to annoying writers.
