I.AM.CONFUSED.

I don't really actually know how to rate this. Okay? I'm really really really really confused right now. This book deserves a double rating. Seriously though, WTF. I can't really write a review because I'm really really confused. It's been 10 minutes and I'm still confused. this book for me is unrate-able for now, because...i honestly don't know how to rate it.
The book is awesome. The Infernal Devices is definitely be going on my to re-read series. This is the first time that I've I.AM.CONFUSED.

The book is awesome. The Infernal Devices is definitely be going on my to re-read series. This is the first time that I've read such an ending. I had my concerns about this book but after reasearching the questions were all cleared up and somehow, I understood. And everything was just perfect and beautiful. Though at the end, I have come down to several conclusions that I have realized.

1. I will love Will Herondale forever and ever and always, and will always be TEAM WILL.
2. Will and Jem's parabatai bond is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read.
3. I have realized that Jem is really nothing but goodness. I think his bones is etched with kindness and goodness that it hurts. I adore you James Carstairs, and you will forever be one of the best (fictional) character that I have met.
4. The love between these three feels new and very beautiful.
5. TID is a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT better than TMI.
7. Cecily, Sophie and Charlotte are one of the most powerful and adorable female characters I have read. *gives them the seal of approval*
8. That love can change things and make people do things that are beyond the rational mind.
9. Tessa is an amazing character. for she (view spoiler)
10. Magnus Bane is the definition of FABULOUS. Wait, I think I already realized that on TMI, but I just feel the need to emphasize that he is FABULOUS.

Edit:

P.S (view spoiler)

I've just finshed

Clockwork Princess (The Infernal Devices, #3) by Cassandra Clare

and I don't know what to say. It kile Cassandra Clare broke my heart, then fixed it, then broke it agin and they fixed it again so now all the pieces are back together but there will always be cracks in my heart...

While reading CP, I realized one thing, I don't care at all dor the main plot of The infernal devices. To be honest, there were parts in CP (and even more in CA) that bored me. But I was so interested in the chacarcters that it almost didn't matter to me. I loooo I've just finshed

But I was so interested in the chacarcters that it almost didn't matter to me. I looooove Will and he's always be my favorite character of the series because I've felt a connection to him from the very beginning but I came o really like most of the others characters too, specially Magnus, and to be honest,while reading City of bones, Clockwork Angel and some quotes of him I've read online from the rest of the Mortal instruments series, I didn't understood why so many people loved im but Clockwork Prince made me, how can say this....it made see him for the first time and now I love him and while I love Will and Jem's frienship, I feel that Magnus and Will's frienship is so underated. I also really liked Gabriel, a character that stood out in my opinion because his flaws weren't as nobles as the ones of most other characters. I also really liked Gideon. Ans while there was a few scenes in CP and Clockworkrincess where Jem made me really mad, I grew to really like him and while I didn't always 'felt'' Tessa's connection to im, there were also a few moments where I really liked them together.

And I cried..like a baby, just like I cried in Clockwork prince.I already k ewthe ending but I cried anyway, and I cried in a lot of other chapters. And I dont cry pften when I read a book.

So in the end I would give this book 4.5/5.In some ways, I liked it ever more that Clockwork prince but the plot just didn't grabbed me as much and even more than that, it almost dissapointed me. Also, I never really grew to care for Charlotte wich I think it's a shame because she's such an important character and they're nothing wrong with her. But in the end of the day, the characters and their journey will always stay with me.

This book was amazing: I loved it and I loved that the author had a big plot twist in the end. I love that sha managed to get Tessa and Jem together in the end, but that Will and Tessa at the same time had a good an loving life together. I love the hole series, but the last book was my favorite. The only thing I like better was the parts in book two when Jem and Tessa together and that they were so cute together. I can't wait until TDA comes out, and the last book in TMI. I hope we get to know h ...more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. This book was beyond amazing! I don't think i have ever been moved so much by a book. The ending had me outright crying. I was so bittersweet but i was happy with the ending!

****if you haven't read the book yet stop reading this*******

I was so relieved when Jem was not dead but i was also heart broken by this life and being so alone even tho knowing he was in TMI and all which kinda made me happy but sad. And all that Will went through. Jem and Will truly broke my heart. There bond was so stron This book was beyond amazing! I don't think i have ever been moved so much by a book.

I was so relieved when Jem was not dead but i was also heart broken by this life and being so alone even tho knowing he was in TMI and all which kinda made me happy but sad. And all that Will went through. Jem and Will truly broke my heart. There bond was so strong and beautiful. I was not expecting to feel the way I did. From the start(in Clockwork Angel) when Will came in and saved Tessa i thought for sure he would be my fave knowing how i love Jace and all. But then Jem came into the picture and that changed i was no longer sure. And come to find out i fell for Jem completely and i wanted Jem with Tessa but then there was times i would still root for Will. Then i thought for sure i knew i wanted it to be Jem. And at ever moment i was like please don't die. but then somewhere a long in there i still realized i was some what pulling for Will i felt as if i were Tessa and i understood why she loved them both. How could you choose?! I always thought one should know and if they has to think who to choose they didnt love them but then in this book i realized this was not always the case. So the ending was so fitting for there love for they all truly loved the others even tho they all had passed they had there lifes long and happy. I cried like a baby when Will dyed. For me that was bittersweet cause he got a happy life with Tessa who he loved and what he wanted but when Jem was there playing the music as he passed it was to much i felt like i was losing my best friend. It hurt me to read that they all passed yet Tessa remand. How could one live through that. If it was possible idk if i could.But in the end a cure was found and Jem lived it was nice to see they where not alone in the end.But i know maybe some ppl thought that the ending might have been cheap since she was with both them in the end but i think it was fitting.
But i had come to love all the characters so reading some what about there end (tho it was not in great detail but they where older and had happy lifes) was hard for me because i did not want to let go. and i think that is part the reason i took longer to read this book i didn't want it to end. I loved that the family tree in the book but i wish it would have had the fairchilds,wayland and others in it. And i was so happy when Sophie become a shadowhunter and married Gideon! And Cecily and Gabriel <3 lol and now when know the story behide Isabelle's necklace. And maybe i just never noticed till now but Alec and Isabelle have Gideon and Sophie (sophia) as there middle names. lol Anyway I love the books and not sure if i can wait till next year for TMI 6th book. Anyway I gave this book a 5 star rating and i did love this book but however there was some stuff i didn't like about it as much.

Like i didn't like that she slept with Will like that after they thought Jem was passed i know they where both hurt and all but it just seemed a bit to far even if they thought they where about to die i mean Jem could had died any moment in the book but they didn't sleep together.

I was not that big of a fan that happened with Gabriel and Gideon father and sister i wish there sister would have not tried to blame the others. I didn't like that there father turned into a worm. I can see he got demon pox from sleeping around with demons and all but did it have to be a worm the turned into? seemed a little much. But maybe that was me.

also i felt like in all the books that Cassandra seem the push the proper thing a bit to much and to hard. I know that time was more proper and i love that but i felt at times it was a bit to much.

and also in this book i thought there was a few little lose ends and things but they where not that big of issues so I'm okay with that and wont go into detail.

I could write so much more but i wont I'll leave you with this I love these books. :) ...more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. This trilogy makes me wish that Cassandra Clare would write three more as she has done with TMI. But Will is no longer alive so I feel that it wouldn't be the same. This last book was SO good. From the start, I was in love with Will although I did like Jem also. But the ending of Clockwork Prince really had me thinking, "What the hell is going to happen?!" And then when Jem "died" and Will went through the pain of his parabati rune being cut and him just feeling disconnected, I was literally on ...more

Oh. My. Gracious.

This book was my favorite of the Infernal Devices - and I love the other two. C.Clare has created fantastic characters that will stay with me for a long time. I won't give away any spoilers, but I will say that I was in tears at the end of this book. It was heart-wrenching and warming all at the same time. I couldn't have asked for a better ending - and I'm SO glad that Clare decided to end it the way she did. Things could have gone south very easily - I was wondering how she w ...more

There's so much to say about this book, its story and most of all, its characters. The Clockwork Princess (the whole trilogy, in fact) is one of those books wherein I’m left with so many emotions that I couldn’t fully grasp how it affected and changed me.

Ms. Cassandra Clare, I can’t thank you enough for creating this book (this series) for us. For all the experiences and feelings, thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Review to follow pretty soon.

Wow. Um I liked this one a lot more than the other two in the trilogy. Seemed, I don't know, better, more insightful or something. Jem was an absolutely awesome character and I hated it when we all thought he had died. I nearly quit reading it right then. He was the best and there's no doubt about it.

Words fail you when you need them most and reviewing this work with unworthy combinations of the alphabet is the greatest example.

So, yes, just forget it.
