A review by jiibii
Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare
5.0
" 'Those of us who do not live forever do not like change perhaps as much as you do. I am tired of losing people.'
'So am I,' Magnus said 'But it is as I said, isn't it?
You learn to bear it.' "
I have had two days to think about how this books has affected me, two days of tears unexpectedly welling up in my eyes upon remembering its end, but I find myself in the exact same position I did whence I finished it: in utter awe, despair, and wonder at the magnificence that this book poses. I can say nothing except that I now understand exactly how deep people's love for this trilogy, for this particular story and set of characters runs and thrives, for it is glorious in every sense of the word. This is undoubtedly the book that made me see Cassandra Clare in the heavenly glow that everyone paints her in; I felt I was reading her work for the very first time, and it rendered me speechless at her genius.
Bravo
PS: Yes, I sobbed and shook and trembled as much as you'd expect.
"Magnus stood looking down at Jem. There was sadness etched on his face, that face that was usually so merry or sardonic or uncaring, a sadness that surprised Will. (...)
'You asked me how I, being immortal, survive so many deaths. There is no great secret. You endure what is unbearable, and you bear it.
That is all.' "
