Clockwork Princess (Infernal Devices)
Please forgive me, I'm not sure this will be entirely coherent. I can still feel the tears drying on my face.
Quotes, which will contain mild spoilers. Possible mild spoilers below OUTSIDE of quotes too. In fact, if you haven't read this trilogy, read no further other than this next and final sentence. READ THIS TRILOGY!!
Wo men shi fie bai xiong di- we are more than brothers, Will. Undertake this journey, and you will undertake it for not yourself alone but for both of us."
"I cannot leave you to face death alone," Will whispered, but he knew he was beaten; the sands of his will had run out.
Jem touched the parabatai rune on his shoulder, through the thin material of his nightshirt. "I am not alone," he said. "Wherever we are, we are as one."
Will rose slowly to his feet. He could not believe he was doing what he was doing, but it was clear that he was, as clear as the silver rim around the black of Jem's eyes. "If there is a life after this one," he said, "let me meet you in it, James Carstairs."
All authors take note, Cassandra Clare has executed the perfect love triangle. It is a true triangle, for Jem, Will and Tessa love one another equally. In many ways it was the love and respect between Will and Jem that truly ripped me apart.
And without ruining the end, in addition to creating a beautiful triangle, she also found a beautiful resolution. Don't get me wrong, I cried every single step of the way. My husband asked if anyone was left alive in the end because I cried so ridiculously hard. But it wound up being a beautiful story for everyone involved.
For those of you who do not have the print copy. Try to find the family tree that Clare wrote up. It was very interesting.
Brilliant, fabulous! Please Please, give us another like this!!!!!
