It's another week of our book discussion!! How are you guys liking this feature so far??
This week Caitlyn and I discuss AKA fangirl over Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare!
**THERE ARE SPOILERS. YOU ARE WARNED**
My favorite Cassandra Clare book has got to be Clockwork Princess, by far.
Taherah Abbas
Yes agreed. SO MANY FEELS!!
Caitlyn Crowe
WILLIAM HERONDALE <33 nbsp="" p="">
Taherah Abbas
He is THE perfect British guy one can meet...ever
Caitlyn Crowe
Hot, sarcastic, snarky, compassionate, just frigin perfect.
Taherah Abbas
*nods* And a literary reader
Caitlyn Crowe
AND Tessa!!!!
She is so relatable.
Taherah Abbas
Well kinda relatable...
Caitlyn Crowe
Explain
Taherah Abbas
Don't get me wrong she's an awesome heroine but to me she's not such a relatable character. Connectable, yes. But I for one can't relate to any of her experiences and such.
Caitlyn Crowe
She's better than Clary
Taherah Abbas
I agree with that. I'm just saying that she's not a character I can totally relate to.
Caitlyn Crowe
Okay, okay moving on ---> I love how she stands up to Will and holds her own up against other people too and she is so funny and sarcastic.
Taherah Abbas
YES she's really brave compared to other heroines too!
Caitlyn Crowe
AND OMG JEM
Taherah Abbas
Probably the most passionate character in the story.
Caitlyn Crowe
In Prince I was really irritated with him and Tessa because, come on they didn't love each other like that but then slowly through out the 3rd I started to see...they really did. Their love triangle with Will was possibly the greatest I have ever seen. Don't get me wrong I was always Team Will but Jem, Tessa, and Will...they all loved each other so much all each of them wanted was the other two's happiness, even if it their own unhappiness. I mean they were all willing to die for each other.
Taherah Abbas
I actually wished that Cassandra Clare showed Jem's love for Tessa more in the first two books. Mainly the second b/c it was easy to love him more than Will in the first book.
Caitlyn Crowe
Well Will kinda did go all evil bitch queen on all of them in the first, in the second he was more...giddy
Taherah Abbas
Will in book 2 was SWOON WORTHY and less mean and more awesome :P
Caitlyn Crowe
Will was always amazing but in book two his swoon just sky rocketed,
Taherah Abbas
REMEMBER THE BALCONY SCENE???
At the masquearde
Caitlyn Crowe
*dies* YES
Omg can we please talk about the Will-Tessa scene please please please please please
Taherah Abbas
*giggles* And then Magnus finds them
Caitlyn Crowe Caitlyn Crowe
Magnus seems to find them in lots of compromising positions.
Taherah Abbas
THAT is the scene you want to read when you're sad or depressed. It's the cure for frowns :P
Caitlyn Crowe
YES omg I just can't get over that scene with Will and Tessa and then Magnus finds them and *dies*
(I'm so sorry but I couldn't help myself from adding this :P And this wasn't part of the convo)
Taherah Abbas
ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS
Caitlyn Crowe
Ugh and I totally thought Jem was dead too.
Taherah Abbas
BIGGEST TWIST EVER
My heart was breaking when they described the parabatai bond disconnection and him dying. IT WAS TOO MUCH
Caitlyn Crowe
You know we never really got to see how much the parabatai affect each other till that moment when Jem "dies" and I almost cried and omg it was just heartbreaking seeing what Will/other parabatai go through!!!
Taherah Abbas
And then he comes back as a Silent Brother and it was just a "jaw dropping what is happening?" kinda scene
Caitlyn Crowe
I was like "Oh shit!!" when I saw Jem was alive still after Will and Tessa.....well to be crude did the dance with no pants.
Taherah Abbas
Lolol I have NEVER heard that phrase before but it will do. But yeah I would've felt so guilty if that ever happened to me.
Caitlyn Crowe
I would have too, a little bit but then at the same time he made his choices and they made their's on how to deal with his, AND he said for them to do whatever it takes to be happy without him in their lives so.....
Taherah Abbas
True but I felt so bad for Will considering that Jem was his parabatai and all
Caitlyn Crowe
But think of all the pain Jem brought Will by severing the parabatai bond...I remember that scene...it was like watching someone lose half their heart.
Taherah Abbas
But I'm sure it was just as bad for Jem too...
Caitlyn Crowe
At least he knew what was going on and that Will wasn't dead.
Taherah Abbas
.....I still don't think Jem should be the one to blame. It wasn't his fault he's sick and was trying to find a way to live.
Caitlyn Crowe
Your right, there truly is only one culprit here...
Taherah Abbas
???
Caitlyn Crowe
CASSANDRA CLARE
Taherah Abbas
HAHA lol yes authors are usually put to blame but DUDE THAT ENDING!!!
Caitlyn Crowe
Damn you Cassandra for making extremely lovable characters go through terrible traumatic experiences that force them into bad situations and make bad decisions because of it!
AND OMG I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!! THE END!!!!

Taherah Abbas
I WAS CRYING. SO MUCH EMOTION WAS PUT INTO THE LAST CHAPTER
Caitlyn Crowe
I was literally in tears, in the middle of biology while you stared at me muttering "No Caitlyn, no. Just no. Stop it."
Taherah Abbas
I REMEMBER THAT! Everyone was looking at you weirdly and were wondering if you were okay.
Caitlyn Crowe
OMG JEM'S SONG DAMNIT THAT WAS THE PART THAT GOT TO ME IT WAS JUST. SO. SAD. HOLY CRAP NO BECAUSE IT WAS WILL'S ENTIRE LIFE IN FLEETING INSTANCES AND NOTES AND NO! JUST NO *DIES IN A PUDDLE OF EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION AND TEARS*
Taherah Abbas
TOO MUCH!! WILL'S DEATH AND JUST EVERYTHING ABOUT IT WAS SO SAD
BUT THEN NO DOES CASSIE LEAVE US FINE?
Caitlyn Crowe
AND OMG HIS LITTLE MOMENTS WITH TESSA
Taherah Abbas
NO! SHE TELLS US THAT JEM ISNT A SILENT BROTHER ANYMORE!! LIKE WHAT??!?!?!!?
Caitlyn Crowe
AND ITS JUST LIKE WHAT THE HELL THIS IS THE FUCKING EPILOGUE ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO RIP YOUR HEART OUT AND THEN STOMPS ON IT A COUPLE TIMES
Taherah Abbas
IT JUST MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE WHAT HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN.
AND FOR US TO KNOW WE NEED TO READ TMI #6 AND JUST UGGGH
Caitlyn Crowe
*sigh* Somehow she managed to tie it all together without it seeming forced and all the while keeping us all hooked...she is an evil genius (my highest compliment)
Taherah Abbas
Of course...I give this series and book 5 STARS for well everything.
Caitlyn Crowe
I agree with all my heart!
Just a little treat....
(DON'T THEY REPRESENT WILL AND TESSA PERFECTLY?? Also again not part of the convo...)
I had so much fun fangirling over this one!
CONGRATS to all of you who actually read till the end too :P
