 I love this series. That’s all I have to say about it. This is one of the best books I have read, and have reread it many times, and every time I think “WHY?!?! LORD Cassandra Clare why must you try to kill me with your cliff hangers!! OH the ending it breaks my heart so” :’(

Anyways… I believe Tessa is more of a Marry Sue in this one, trying to take everything on especially when it involves her beloved brother. And very giving, I mean she gave up her love for Will just because Jem had proposed to her…. Well that is a good reason, BUT right afterwards Tessa had burnt her hand badly because of the pain in her heart. I always thought she should have told him no, that she loves Will and save the rest of us all the pain and tears TT^TT. Now Clockwork Prince deals more with the threat of Mortmain and that threat becomes a reality when they face betrayal. There is plotting, lies, and the love of Will and Tessa J but there is also Jem, sweet, sweet Jem that is going to die and loves Tessa. And Tessa belongs to Will. Oh love triangles how much I love/hate you. So we have our dilemma, we have our evil, we have our heartbreak. And this is one of the happiest. Everything is still very happy nothing too serious has happened yet, so everyone is still happy (EXCEPT Tessa and Will. Except those Will and Tessa), they have won the bet against the Lightwoods, Charlotte is pregnant (with sweet little Buford), Tessa and Jem and engaged. All is well… For now. 

Now what I noticed from annotating the book what how hard Cassandra Clare tries to use old English, I mean at times it was ridiculous, it was just so funny! I didn’t notice this before, but now I just can’t help but giggle at times when it was over used. Also I noticed that this was all about Jem and Tessa’s relationship, with the occasional Will interference (except the ending! D’:). But I found it sort of sad that Tessa almost had sex with Jem at this spur of the moment kiss that went too far. I mean, at that time there virginity was sacred

and she almost lost it… I always thought that it went too far, but… meh -__-”
