- Having read the first 3 books of the mortal instruments series I had come to the realization that Cassandra Clare is an amazing writer who enjoys breaking hearts and sewing them back again ... I can't put into words how much I loved this book, not only this book , the whole shadow hunter world , but clockwork prince is pretty special .I was so into this book that I forgot I was reading it ,I was devouring the words without being aware of it . Cassandra clare , in my opinion , is the kind of writer that gets you lost in the world you're reading about that you forget you're not actually there. I felt as I if I was a part of what was going on , I felt each and every emotion the characters sensed. It was a beautiful journey reading this book filled with laughter and cry . Okay so .. Will herondale .. and Jem .. Let's forget Tessa for a moment .These two are my favorites of course but I can't understand how people are choosing teams .. There is no team just NO .. So , just as I loved the relationship between jace and alec , I adored this one I just love the whole parabatai thing , to have someone love you enough to die for you is just so overwhelming . Now after finishing this one I am so intrigued to read clockwork princess but dear God I am so scared of finding out what's going to happen . I don't think my heart can handle the whole love triangle thing again. I was so satisfied and heartbroken by how things ended in the second book .I cried rivers for Will . In the first book I thought he was the bad guy , the one who is always cruel and has his walls up around everyone but always gets away with everything he says because of his look ( JACE btw I love him ) but Will was nothing like that . To finally discover he has been always pretending to be rude and cruel to people so that they don't die just don't die made me love him even more . the poor kid was only twelve , to live a life like his and have a parabatai dying each day then lose the girl he loves for his parabatai is just too much , it's too much for Will and I don't think I can handle how this trilogy is going to end .But I'm going t read it anyway .
- I wasn't that surprised when Cecily showed up at the Institute's door at the end. I mean, with the whole demon curse thing, I'm sure it reached his family somehow. Plus, somebody who hates Will probably attacked her and then she ran to the Institute.
