I just read Clockwork Princess.
I have never sobbed so much while reading a book. And I have read A LOT of books. ;__;

OMG I was a mess. I actually skipped school so I could finish the book and I was home alone so I cried like never before. Just thinking about it breaks my heart, I wish I did not read the prologue at all, it was beautiful but it killed me

We are getting a new trailer on the 30th right?

Yes and the official poster and I think a teaser

CP was flawless. Cassandra has slayed me once again. Can we talk about spoilers from the book here?

I guess if we hide them like so.

Having said that:

Parts that made me cry the most (in order)
1) Jem as Brother Zachariah saying goodbye to Will in the training room (OH MY GOD. I was sobbing so hard that tears were literally falling on the pages and I needed to stop so I could blow my nose because I couldn't breathe. It was so bad.)
2) Will burying Jem's dagger (His speech. Again. Made me sob.)
3) Will finding out that Jem was dead. (Is THAT how a parabatai finds out? THAT IS HORRIBLE! Now I feel like Cassie is going to kill Alec and Jace is going to have to go through that too )
4) Finding out that Jem is Zachariah and then him fighting alongside Will for the last time.
5) The entire epilogue. Omg.
6) Irrational Will beating up werewolves (Because he was borderline insane and I knew it was because of his grief.)
7) Jem telling Charlotte to give up and let him die.
8) Jem as Brother Zachariah saying goodbye to Tessa.
9) Henry "dying" (I thought he was dead so there were instant tears. Then they revealed that he was alive, just realized. So I calmed down.)

But yeah. Clockwork Prince was so sad for me. But this one was a million times worse.

It was SUCH a beautifully written story though. Brilliant characters, wonderful plot, just beautiful. I love TID more than TMI which is saying something because I REALLY love TMI.
I just have a lot of feelings.
And now that I know Jem is Zachariah, I went through City of Lost Souls and reread all those parts. I always kind of knew Zachariah was either Will or Jem. But it still didn't make it any less painful for me.

Such a good book though. I was blown away.

Should I finish The MI series before moving to Clockwork Princess?

Am curretnyl reading the Second but I kinda too a break in the middle cause it kinda got boring.

You can read them separately or in the order they were published.

Do not skip to Clockwork Princess. Haha. If you're going to start The Infernal Devices, start with Clockwork Angel since it's the first book. The next one is Clockwork Prince and the last one is Clockwork Princess.

Really, I think the most interesting way to read them is in the order that they were published. Because you start seeing the parallels like that. So:

City of Bones
City of Ashes
City of Glass
Clockwork Angel
City of Fallen Angels
Clockwork Prince
City of Lost Souls
Clockwork Princess

The parallels really start becoming apparent in Fallen Angels and onward, but you see some of them beforehand too. (Like where Isabelle got her necklace, how the sensor came to be, how the portals were made, etc. All of which you see in City of Bones and all of which are explained in the third Infernal Devices book.)
And Tessa is in City of Glass for a brief moment, though her name is never mentioned. Clary just sees her talking to Magnus. (And you find out what she was talking to Magnus about in Clockwork Princess.) Well, sort of. I mean, she tells Jem in the epilogue, "Magnus and I spoke in Alicante. We talked about you." So it's kind of broad, but at least we got a semblance of an idea.
There are just a lot of really cool parallels. I don't know how to explain it, but reading it in the publish order makes them more apparent. Like, you'll see something in Clockwork Angel and then it'll be seen again in City of Fallen Angels (Camille, for example). Then you'll find something in City of Lost Souls, and you'll find out where it came from in Clockwork Princess (like the book Clary finds).
Really, between the two series, it's just a ridiculously complex story. Both of them can stand on their own. (I had a friend who read TID first and loved it) But I think it's just impossible to read one and not the other because you get so hooked on it.
You don't need to read the two series in order. You could easily read City of Bones, then all three TID books, and finish the TMI books.

After that really long essay, I have to ask, you don't like City of Ashes? I actually liked it a lot more than City of Bones. lol

Oh ok. I'll try that.

it's not that I don't like City of Ashes.
it's just idk it's kinda just stretching out too long with nothing happening.
I preferred how City of Bones had character development, but it was really paced good.
idk maybe once I get back into it I'll change my mind.

For those of you guys that finished Clockwork Princess, I wanted to know if you could check my song out?
I wrote a song about Will and Jem and Jem becoming a Silent Brother .
I go a little off-key but try to get past my poor singing and ugly face?
CLICK ME ;__;

Finally more TMI/TID fans on the site.

I loved CP. As mentioned above, there are many parallels between the series. One being Tessa and Jace both having been afflicted by 'heavens fire' ( I think that's the name). Now we know why Alec reminds Magnus of Will.

This is probably the ONE series where a love triangle actually works and everyone gets what they wants. I won't say anymore as to not spoil it but Mrs. Clare really has done a fantastic job. That epilogue

SN: Hoping to GOD someone films the trailer today. I want it now.
