Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Clockwork Prince

Also, this book is making me remember why I have only ever read this series once even thought I loved it the first time because I just forgot how sad and painfully and it is going to ruin my whole life all over again. Also, I am emotionally unstable because I did really nearly cry when Charlotte called Tessa, 'my Tessa.'

I do live for all these characters and the relationship in this book but I would go for war for my girl Charlotte and how she just loves and care all of them and how they are just her kids. I mean I do love all the women in this book because they just make me feel so gay and I would die for all of them. However, I do think it is really sad that she doesn't think that they all love her and she doesn't think that she good enough for anything and just want to give her a hug and I love her. Like, Jem and Will's friendship god why the fuck did they make me cry when they were talking about how they saved each other and how Jem's death and how they both need and care for each other and also there is nothing straight about Will saying that 'Jem's is his greatest sin.' and how he has only ever let himself love and care for him because he was going to die anyway. It was just so funny when Tessa tells Will that her and Jem were getting married and he said 'my Jem.' When Will and Jem were talking at the end about Tessa and Will is trying to be happy for him because he loves him but it is killing him and it made me want to scream and cry into my pillow because this is going to be the death of me. I forgot how sad this book actually is. Also Will''s whole side plot with the curse and it is just really sad that he has made himself unloveable to protect the people he loves and then when he finally knows he can love people and the one person he wanted to curse breaking for he was just to late and that made me want to scream into my pillow. Even though the really love's Tessa but he loved Tessa and Jem enough to put his happiness aside because they made each other happy and it is just so sad. Also I lived for my girlboss Sophie and how chaotic she was when she attacked Jessie and it was just Will and Tessa taking to fix it and Sophie was having a mild mental breakdown in the corner like they were just so funny and just love how much she loves and care for Charlotte and how her and Tessa are bestie they are just so cute and she is just doing queen shit and always defending Charlotte to anyone and she will hears nothing bad or wrong about her. Also there are just so funny when they were all find out about Tessa and Jem and Gideon was just so uncomfortable and I don't care they can do no wrong. And then to top this book off another queen as arrived and that is Cecily Herondale!!!!I can't lie I don't really care about the plot and i just care more about the characters.

I can't lie I love all the romance in this series and I would die for all of them but I can't lie I will always be a lover of Gideon and Sophie they are just so cute and I love to see my girl being loved and he is so whipped and he just wants to impress her and he's just can't keep his eyes of her, like he just want to impress and they are just really cute and fluffy and they are just so wholesome. I just love how Gideon is already so madly in love with teacher and I can't blame him but she's so in love with him. Also Henry and Charlotte my loves, they are just so so cute especially when Charlotte was hurt and Henry was going crazy and was really upset and when they were just so chaotic and they both thought each other were mad at each other and the both thought that the each person didn't love each other or care about each other and they both thought that they didn't want to get married to each other and Charlotte and Henry are having a child is everything and I would die for them. I do like Jem and Tessa because they are cute especially when he said in Chinese that he loves her and he didn't want to lose her but they just don't have the fire that Will and Tessa have, god Will and Tessa man... I would die for both of them and I just want to give them both a huge but I also want to slapped them for being so dumb like it is so obvious that they love each-other !!! There were just so many moments that just lived for them like he is just so in love with her and it just painful especially the bit when he sacrifices himself to protect to her from the explosion and then Tessa pass out from the shock of seeing Will hurt and the Ball their make out scene the passion the fire, like this fucking men when he unpins her hair and then they just start making out with her. Also I love how she's is trying to convinced herself that she loves Jem more and is not in love with Will and he doesn't really love her.

There is just one thing about this series that annoy me about this book about how much people care that Sophie has a scar and that it is always brought up and I just don't think it something that needs to be bought up as if she is ugly just because she has a scar which she is not and I just think a number of different things that could be brought up and developed more than just the fact that she has a scar on her face and I do think that is what is happening with her romance plot line with Gideon which I love but there is just something about how it is dealt with that is just really unconformable and rubs me the wrong way.

Well, this is more like what I expected from Cassandra Clare.
Where do I even start? I’m so angry and exhausted from all the whining about ~LoVe~ from Tessa and Will. How long has it even been since she came to the Institute? A few months, wasn’t it? This love triangle is ridiculous and I hate it. Not only they’re 16-17, but the boys are best friends (more than that) and the girl has two and a half personality traits.

And the proposal? And the fact that Tessa clearly wants Will and loves Jem only as a friend? Please kill me. She is awful and everything is awful.

The “twist”.

Goddamn, Will is an idiot. It would take one mentioning of the curse to any adult with a brain, and all of his struggles could be avoided. And I would be spared from the love triangle.

Now, why does everyone need a boyfriend? You get a boyfriend, and you get a boyfriend, and you… unless you’re ugly, that is. Because poor new kitchen girl is the only one who is NOT getting a boyfriend (*whispers* she’s plain). This book, sadly, is about romances and drama first, and plot second.
Then, Thomas. He just gets replaced with his brother, who looks like him and acts like him. Cool, I guess?.. Did his death even mean anything? Just why. What’s the point, really? No one seems to care, by the way, everyone is too busy having crushes.
Speaking of, what’s up with all the flushing? Almost every single character “flushed” at least twice in this book (and our beloved Tessa– maybe 30). I have met very little people in my life whose faces would become red from embarrassment. Here? Why, that’s a normal reaction, we flush every 10 minutes or so.
And finally, could everyone just shut up about Will’s blue ass eyes? I was honestly so tired of reading sentences describing his BLUE and UNREAL eyes—with all the nonsensical comparisons—every chapter and from different perspectives. Have these people never seen blue eyes before? What is happening?

If “Clockwork Angel” was written like this, I would have never continued with the series.

P.S.: “She hadn’t realized she’d been holding her breath until that moment” — second book in a row? Please stop.
