When I tell you I cried so much and smiled like an idiot the last 100 pages of the book. I am literally in love with this trilogy but mostly with the last book. I can’t believe I have to say goodbye to this story and those amazing characters. It was so beautifully written and Jem was such a beautiful character. This was the first love triangle I was ready to accept. I loved all of it. The romance was definitely the best part of the book. Will won me with his way of words and Jem with his good heart. I can’t recommend this book more and I wish I could read the last book as it was for the first time…sadly I can’t. Magnus Bane is still one of my favourite characters. I loved.

2nd read

I did not love this as much as the second book, however I still loved it all the same!! The last 20 pages or so had me sobbing, and the epilogue is beautiful.

Clockwork Prince is the final book from “The Infernal Devices” series and I can say it did not disappoint. The story line from Clockwork Prince (the second novel) ended with one of the greatest cliff hangers. Although Jem was the obvious choice for Tessa because of his kindness and overall good-heartedness, it left the readers in agony to see how Will suffered for both of them. I think the author did an amazing job of portraying the feeling of longing, restraint and anger when seeing someone you love move on. I mean I definitely felt it! A couple of things I did not like about this book was the numerous and unnecessary story lines. Why did every character need a love interest?!? (Sophie, Cecily, Charlotte etc.) It added to the worst part of the booking which was the dragged-out plot. Holy, I though I was not going to make it. When Will set off on his adventure to Wales there were so many redundant scenes that could have been skipped and added no value to the storyline. One line that stuck with me was “We see our better selves in the eyes of those who love us.” This stood out to me because it felt like a main theme in this novel (and it was just generally very sweet and touching.) Self-doubt is strong but to see ourselves through the eyes of those who love us can give us the confidence to move forward. The ending of the book was great and almost made me teary eyed when Will passed away. I found it interesting to think about mortality as a gift rather than something to fear. To die surrounded by the people you love, rather than live forever and alone seems like a good way to go.
