Patrick Brown liked Emily's review of Clockwork Princess (The Infernal Devices, #3): " I'll five-star a Cassandra Clare book. IDGAF. This is definitely my favorite trilogy she's ever written (does that include her fanfiction? I'LL NEVER TELL).

“We stand there, quiet. My questions all seem wrong: How did you get so old? Was it all at once, in a day, or did you peter out bit by bit? When did you stop having parties? Did everyone else get old too, or was it just you? Are other people still here, hiding in the palm trees or holding their breath underwater? When did you last swim your laps? Do your bones hurt? Did you know this was coming and hide that you knew, or did it ambush you from behind?”
