Definitely Clockwork Angel (even if it has Will) but when I re-read CoB I didn't like it as much as I did when I first read it. And I hate Jace in the 4th book.

Not that i don't like Simon, but i thought it was more of talk than action...
Srry CoFA lovers!
I like Simon more than Jace now. And I like Tessa more than Clary.
i like Tessa more than Clary, but i still like Jace a lot better than Simon!
Jace is too much like Will for me.
Brittany wrote: "Jace is too much like Will for me."heh, yeah i had a feeling you'd say that...
Jace more than Simon, Tessa more than Clary, Will over Jace and i think she should have stoped at only 3 books in TMI series with 4 its just draging.
I think she should have stopped at 3 too because book 4 ruined Jace for me.

Yeah , the 4th was definetly not as good as the first three. It annoys me so much when couple can never sort things out between themselves. I hope she doesn't do this with Clary and Jace, because I'll probably read all her books even if I don't like them as much because I want to see where they'll end up.
Brittany wrote: "Jace is too much like Will for me."I don't think they're that much alike, actually. Jace accepts and embraces love from his family and friends and Will rejects it. Will is destructive to himself..and Jace never stiked me as such. Both are sarcastic, sure, but so is Clary, Simon, and loads of other characters. :P
CoFA was my least favorite of the MI books. It made me like Simon more, though, so that's a plus. I kind of like The Infernal Devices better..maybe? I find Tessa much more likeable than Clary, for one. More reasonable and you know, thinks things through, lol. And Charlotte is awesome.
The only proof I've got that Jace is not like Will is that I don't like Jace, but I definitely love Will. haha

Brittany wrote: "i'll read it later lol. Just because theres Jem."haha... ;D

lOL yeah what I mean is if there was no Jem then I'd just wait to read it until the book comes out. Only a month now!
OH MY GODi just found out that i am leaving for India when CP comes out... nooooooo!!!!
I'll have to wait a whole week to read it!!! Wahhhhh!!!
Awwww!!!! I'm sooo sorry! No, like I legit feel badly. :( Hey, I know this is random, but I looked up what Jem's Chinese name (Jian) means (as a name, not a Chinese word) and got that it generally means wellbeing, strong, or healthy. Do you think Cassie did that on purpose?

And wow, that name is ironic. I do think that Cassie did that on purpose because everything that she does has a purpose... and that's really cool that you figured that out!
Ohhhh that's really cool~! She probably did do it on purpose ,
Thank y'alls! :) I was gonna go and do more research on the books... then my mom reminded me that I had to go and do research on an actual school project, lol. :P
Awwww... I just went back and read that absolutely adorable scene where Jem is speaking Mandarin to Tessa and tells her she's beautiful without her knowing it... AW IT'S JUST TOO CUTE!!!! <3 WHY CAN'T A BOY DO THAT TO ME?!?!?

the links not working anymore, i don't think...
dangit i never got a chance to read it :(
if you go to the walker books website, search clockwork prince then read excerpt it's still there:) the link just doesn't work
OMG THE NEWEST TEASER!!! Finally one I am excited about LOL
His eyes darkened, and he began to turn away from her. "You can't even believe I could want you," he said in a half whisper. "That I am alive enough, healthy enough-"
"No-" Without thinking, she caught at his arm. He stiffened. "James, that isn't at all what I meant-"
He curled his fingers around her hand where it lay on his arm. His own scorched her skin, as hot as fire. And then he turned her and drew her toward him.

CLOCKWORK PRINCE SPOILERS!!!! DO NOT READ IF U DONT WANT SPOILERS!!!----------------------------
““It is like being married, isn’t it,” said Tessa placidly, “in the Catholic church. Like Henry the Eighth, he had to create a new religion just so he could escape from his vows.”
“Till death do us part,” said Will, his gaze still fixed on the countryside speeding past outside the window.
“Well, Will won’t need to create a new religion just to be rid of me,” said Jem. “He’ll be free soon enough.””

Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince
-------------------------------
“There was something in his eyes, a sort of quizzical admiration; she wondered if it was simply admiration of ****’s looks. ”No,” he said. ”No, even though you are the perfect picture of ****, I can see Tessa through it somehow—as if, if I were to scrape away a layer of paint, there would be my Tessa underneath.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
<--That sounds like something Jem would say…But they tagged it Will Herondale….
don't know if this one's been posted yet but, i guess if it has ill just be posting it again:P“Her name rang in Will’s mind like the chime of a bell; he wondered if any other name on earth had such an inescapable resonance to it. She couldn’t have been named something awful, could she, like Mildred. He couldn’t imagine lying awake at night, staring up at the ceiling while invisible voices whispered “Mildred” in his ears. But Tessa-”
— Clockwork Prince
i also found this online :s don't know if its an actual teaser from the book or not :/ but it sounds like it:“On the contrary there is a lot of good to say about Jem. He is the brother my father said I should have had. Blood of my blood - although we’re not even related. For all that I had to lose in my life, his friendship I have gained.”
“Her name rang in Will’s mind like the chime of a bell; he wondered if any other name on earth had su..."Like!!
Gah I can't wait for this book. I'm actually more excited about this than I was CoFA.
I. Am. So. Excited!!!! Lol but the people at my local bookstore aren't... they know me well around that place, hahaha... You see, whenever a book I reeeeeeeally want is coming out, I go on the day of the release (and before, and after...) talking all about the book and when it will get here and GIVE IT TO ME NOW. My idiot bookstore is always late! Meh >:( Oh well though... it's still fun aggravating the employees! ;)

That is why when I really want something I end up getting it on kindle cause it comes through at midnight usually and I am too excited to wait! Or I order through amazon and then I get it about a day or two after release.
new excerpt from mundie moms:“I can give you no assurance of what Tessa feels. If you have not noticed, she is a decidedly independent girl. But you have as much a chance to win her love as any man does…..”

Ugh, I had such an awesome entry idea for the ARC competition, I just didn't have time to get it in! :( :( :( Not saying I would've won, just saying at least I would've had a chance! But oh well... I'll be patient like the rest y'alls. :)
Yes I would kill for an ARC but I'm personally glad I didn't even try to enter that contest. Would have been a waste of time because the winners were unbelievable! I have no computer skills or drawing skills lol Some of the pictures were amazing!
