This poor little orphan his own age is dying from a demon drug addiction. He quickly learns that Jem looks sickly because he is sickly. Will is being his usual antisocial, angsty self: “I need someone who can keep up with me, not some sickly creature that looks as if he’s doddering off to the grave.” Oh Will.

One of the first scenes in this book is Charlotte introducing 12-year-old Jem to 12-year-old Will. Appreciate the writing, the plot, the literary references, the characters for what they are and what they can teach you.

If you haven’t read this series yet, what are you doing? Go pick it up! If you have, I encourage you to reread it again but take your time. 💕 It feels as if I, myself, had been a member of the London Institute–sharing in their joys, grieving during their sorrows, fighting alongside them in battle. I’m honestly going to miss reading these characters that I’ve truly grown to love. The next 25% was very slow-paced in comparison, but the last 25% was when everything came full circle and all the little bits and pieces were tied together. I would be so enraptured by the plot that I would glance down at the percentage bar line on my Kindle and be surprised that I was only 30% into the book. I would say that the first 50% of the book was super intense and fast moving. This book felt long because SO MUCH WAS HAPPENING.

If Clockwork Angel was 10/10 and Clockwork Prince was 8/10, Clockwork Princess was for sure an 11/10!!! 😍Ĭlockwork Prince felt so long because nothing was happening. I’m all choked up with feels at the moment.
