you really shouldn't read all the stuff on here yet
Mod

Mod
this the
Umbra sumus
its written on the back of Isabelle's neclace
and since the neclace was handed down through generations someone in the ID series has to have it
Plus Cassie said that Izzy's neclace would get explained in the ID series

"Tessa could not remember a time when she had not owned the clockwork angel. It had belonged to her mother once, and her mother had been wearing it when she’d died. After that it had sat in her mother’s jewelry box until her brother Nathaniel took it out one day to see if it was still in working order.
The angel was no bigger than Tessa’s pinky finger, a tiny statuette made of brass, with folded bronze wings no larger than a cricket’s, a delicate metal face with shut crescent eyelids, and hands crossed over a sword in front. A thin chain that looped beneath the wings allowed it to be worn around the neck like a locket..."
Mod
yea where did you get it?

This is just cruel! I never read excerpts from books because I don't want to ruin it, I need to read the whole book not just bits of it! But this is really tempting...

“There was something particular and beautiful about the way the stele scrawled – not like ink flowing from a pen, but more as if the lines had always been there, and Will was uncovering them.”

Will went back to scrubbing dried vampire blood off his hands and arms. The task was absorbing enough that he was able to almost completely ignore Gabriel Lightwood when the other boy appeared out of the shadows and sauntered over to Will, a superior smile plastered on his face.
"Nice work in there, Herondale, setting the place on fire," Gabriel observed. "Good thing we were there to clean up after you, or the whole plan would have gone down in flames, along with the shreds of your reputation."
"Are you implying that shreds of my reputation remain intact?" Will demanded with mock horror. "Clearly I have been doing something wrong. Or not doing something wrong, as the case may be." He banged on the side of the carriage. "Thomas! We must away at once to the nearest brothel! I seek scandal and low companionship."
Thomas snorted and muttered something that sounded like "bosh," which Will ignored.
Gabriel’s face darkened. "Is there anything that isn’t a joke to you?"
"Nothing that comes to mind."
"You know," Gabriel said, "there was a time I thought we could be friends, Will."
"There was a time I thought I was a ferret," Will said, "but that turned out to be the opium haze. Did you know it had that effect? Because I didn’t."
Will is awesome! =D
Mod
i cant wait to read that book!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me either, It's going to be great!
Mod
and after i read the reviews linked to Cassies Blog
i want to read them even more!!!!!!!!!!
Mod
"I'm not sure a book has ever changed me," said Will, "Well, there was this one volume that promises to teach one how to turn oneself into an entire flock of sheep--"
"Only the very weak-minded refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry," said Tessa, determined not to let him run of wildly with the conversation.
Mod
in the city of glass soft cover there are excerpts of the clockwork angel and city of fallen angels, good stuff :)
The first chapter from The Clockwork Angel! Gosh, can't wait already. Love the beginning. Love Will and Jem and Tessa. Here's the link to Simon and Schuster's site, too long to post it here.
Chapter one
Mod
does any 1 no what part of the book will and tessa stop being all miss.gray and mr.watshisname?
Mod
Mod
i didn't i just couldn't remember his last name
wow the book is awsome!i got clockwork angel at 10:00am on the 31st and finished it at 11:13pm but will was an ass in the end and what did he mean by "i'v lost everything"?
Will did that on purpose to drive away Tessa because he's not willing to love or feel for anyone yet. He doesn't want her hurt
Mod
hey hey no spoilers for the other people who havent read them yet
and yes i very much agree
OK i didn't have the nerve to read the part were Tessa tells will that she's staying so can someone tell me what happened just not word for word? please?and what do u think happened to will in his past that made him act like this i know it has something to do with a box.
Mod
Am i so evil that i found that part slightly amusing? And at the same time i was yelling at Will
i understand why he did it ...sort of
u should just read it and make ur own conclousions
he's doing it on purpose
Mod
why do u think will whent to manges bane? (i think thats how u spell it)
It's Magnus BaneAnd I think maybe he went there so Magnus can supress his memories, like he did with Clary. We at least know for sure that they're what's torturing him so much...
No, got a better idea - he wants a cure for Jem! Of course! Tessa made him realize that he shouldn't have stopped looking in the first place. Hope Magnus can help with that...
I have a feeling it has somthing to do with Tessa, that's why he seemed so in anguish
Mod
good lord i WANT to know!! any more Therese?
spelling on this thing suckes.
