Having read the fourth book by Cassandra Clare, I think she had really found the sweet spot between world building and character development. I have never been this invested in a fantasy book that much.
As the beloved Judge Judy once said, “Beauty fades, but dumb is forever.” Tessa, you definitely matured, but I still think you need to more self-aware of the love signs and not plunging into dangerous situations.
Oh Will…I should have known you have been living with a lie this entire time.
Jem, Magnus, Charlotte, Henry, Sophie, and Gideon are my sweethearts. No one take them away from me!
I think it would be nice to expand on Jessamine’s romance (with Nate) as well as Sophie’s romance (with Gideon) because I do not feel a very deep connection between the pairs. I also think the proposal (between Tessa and Jem) felt somewhat rushed, I would love to have more conviction and emotions?
Nevertheless, this was quite an enjoyable read. In the first book, I fell in love with the world. In the second book, I fell in love with the characters. I would love to see where Clockwork Princess would take me!
