** According to another [[http://blue-succubus.livejournal.com/2008/08/16/ blog post]], Richelle's original story ideas were quite different. It "was actually about a teenage boy and girl. Through an ancient family tradition, they had been arranged to be married and met each other for the first time at the start of the book. One of them was in danger, so the other took on a bodyguard role. I can't remember who was protecting whom--or which one was the vampire."

**The story then shifted into a different direction. Richelle: "However, I originally set out to write it in third-person POV, with a wider cast of characters having bigger roles. In fact, side character Camille Conta once played a much more significant role and had her own subplot." Chapter 2 included Camille's perspective on the return of Rose and Lissa to the Academy.
**Rose started life as a human character. During the rewrite of the novel, Rose was changed into a dhampir.

* GenreKiller: The film was one of the three films whose failure at the box-office killed the paranormal subgenre of YA Novel adaptations that seemed to be on its way out as far back as late 2010. The failure of this movie along with ''Film/MortalInstrumentsCityOfBones'' was bad enough to cause studios to rethink their YA adaptation strategies, going for the ones that were bound to make a lot of money from the get-go- namely dystopian Sci-Fi.
