Clockwork Princess question

It's been a little while since I read this. The epilogue was interesting and well written, and emotional. The thing that caught me was the timing of the ID books. The entire series falling between books 5 and 6 of TMI.

Brother Z is Jem. Brother Z got shocked by Jace in the infirmary. Glorious Fire is a almighty cleansing power. Jem had demon blood (or demon something)in him.

Brother Z was always the SB that worked with Jace. Jace is a Herondale by blood. Is their a chance Jace is a descendant of Tessa and Will, and that would mean he has some magical traits in his bloodline.

Tessa has ties to Magnus, and she had seen him a year ago (before blackfriers), which I belive falls close to the TMI timeline.

Is there a chance Tessa shows up briefly or plays a significant role in TMI6. Or will she play a role in Dark Artifacts series.

It is disappointingly okay. The epilogue is stretched to a point that it does not feel truthful anymore. Don't get me wrong, been to love triangles twice and it hurts bad. The emotions laid out in Clockwork Prince are all true. Believe me. I see myself in Jem and I put myself in his shoe for loving Tessa unconditionally. Yet, Clockwork Princess closes their story in such a way that I do not feel it can happen in real life anymore. I mean, the real life never works that way. The love triangles I've been with were not as dramatic as Clockwork Princess. In a fantasy ideal world filled with immortals, those kind of endings might happen but I doubt it. Even if the real life is no fantasy at all, the story of a love triangle starts in tragedy and ends in tragedy.

I cried so hard that my fuking day was stay in the bed thinking about how Tessa could have this two amazing guys and have this extremely fuked destiny.

The epilogue of this book had me sobbing like a baby both times I read it, and those were months and months apart!

I cried when i was reading the book. Then i continued to cry when i finished the book. Then i cried the whole night. If i didn't fell asleep probably i'd cry until morning :(

I Cried so hard.

To sum it all up.. I cried my eyes out.. (as if i hadn't done that enough before the end of the book) It was really sad. I actually didn't see the point of the epilouge until the very end of it ( the end of the epilogue kind of lessened the blow a little), because they just continued to talk about (SPOOOILER!!!)...

all the people that died.. and I was really sad because I didn't understand that she could just do something like that at the ending..

yeah, i almost (ALMOST) didn't like the ending because it was so sad...

The end was perfectly beautiful....may be a little too perfect, but it was beautiful and unexpected.

Throughout the series, i loved Will...i wanted Will and tessa to be together, but i couldn't bear to think what it would do to Jem and if she chooses Jem, i think i would have become numb thinking about Will.

That's what this series was...three ppl, who loved each other so much and wanted the other two to be even at their own cost
For Will or Jem, it was even possible, one was ready to sacrifice for the other, but for Tessa? She had to hurt one of them and suffer along him

But the end made everything possible....an actual happy ending to a true triangle love story
She spent wonderful years with Will when he was alive...she is still mourning for his death after almost 70 years

Now, she sees her other true love, the most sweetest person ever possible, who hopes to have a chance at living with his true love and sharing that joy with her....what else is more perfect than she accepting him. With her decision, both Tessa and Jem might be happy....but if Will was witnessing it from somewhere...he would be the most happiest of them all

I have been trying to get over this book...i did everything i can to get over it, but i just can't....The whole book was wonderful but the epilogue in itself is epic, beautiful...it stands apart and i don't know how many times i read it

cried then was happy and wanting to move on to other books.

I cried so hard at the epilogue; it was just so happy and sad at the same time and it sucked and it was amazing and it was just a great ending. I hope Tessa and Jem went to New York after so Tessa could meet Jace and tell him that she's his great something grandmother. Also then they'd get to see Magnus again :)
It was all very emotionally distressing.

I pretty much died reading the epilogue. I balled my eyes out.

I finished this last night (technically this morning) and am still recovering. Part of me is only remembering the ending without the epilogue because I can't bear to think of Will dead and the other characters of near death from old age. But part of me is like, Jem deserves to be happy too. I just don't know. I'm sad that Tessa is immortal because she will have to deal with everyone dying. Although, when I think about how this book tugged at my emotions, I can't help but find it amazing. First book to ever make me cry! I think I started crying on page 552.

I don't remember my exact reaction, but I'm pretty sure it went like this:

(view spoiler)[ I'm happy that Tessa is happy with Will...but why did he have to be mortal? (feels sad) Wait a second...is Jem BROTHER ZACHARIA????!!! IUWRANVA! And now he's not? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE??? So it was Jem all that time in TMI? *sits in stunned silence for a few moments* And now Tessa can be with Jem...BEST SOLUTION FOR A LOVE TRIANGLE EVER!!! (hide spoiler)]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS JEM & TESSA TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day One Post Clockwork Princess: Made the mistake of finishing it in the wee hours of the night and wound up sobbing uncontrollably inn the bathroom so I wouldn't wake my husband. I wish I never read that epilogue.

I cried so much! Why did he have to die? Don't answer that.. I know he's mortal...

It was amazing and i cried and cried and cried then i picked up the fault in our stars for a light read to get over clockwork princess and if you read the fault in our stars you know how sad it is so then i cried more

OK so as I read the series I was always thinking about the same question that a lot of you were probably thinking and that was: "Who is Tessa going to end up with??" I swear there were moments when I thought for sure that it would be Jem and then Will just goes and does something straight up prince-like out of a fairytale and reminds all of us how perfect he is for her. OMG i just couldnt pick a side especially after I found out about the curse that Will was under and I finally understood why he acted the way he did AND THEN THE STUPID CURSE WASNT EVEN REAL that was terrible!!! I mean, it was an amazing plot twist but I felt so sad for Will because he was living with this burden for years. Then finally, right when he is about to tell Tessa how he feels, which I was anticipating for SO long, Tessa tells him she is marrying Jem and I was just..speechless....I honestly did not know if i should feel happy for Jem or sad for Will so I found myself feeling both at the same time. ALRIGHT well let me just skip to the ending because that is what this thread is about. I was actually really happy that everyone got a happy ending. Tessa got to spend a lifetime with her love Will (and they had a family!! so cuuute) and then it ended with her getting to ALSO spend the rest of Jem's life( I say "Jem's" because Tessa is not mortal) together with him YAYYY i was so depressed when I thought he would have to spend the rest of his life as a silent brother and that he would never be free to actually spend time with tessa. Throughout the series I knew that Jem's feelings were always genuine and pure. He never really stopped loving Tessa so I was happy for the both of them. (Pretty sad that Will died tho D:) However, I cant help but worry that Tessa is just going to have her heart broken again when Jem dies. It is times like these when I take into consideration the quote "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" and decide whether or not to believe it. I think it is worth it to spend whatever time you have with the ones you love but I have no doubt that it will be painful when they are gone. I wish that we could have read more about Jem and Tessa's adventures together and the life they spent (I WONDER IF THEY WOULD HAVE A FAMILY????) but I understand that some authors like to leave the real ending of the story a mystery so the reader can use his/her imagination. Well that is all I would like to say about my reaction to these parts of the book. Overall, I sincerely enjoyed this series and HIGHLY recommend it to...well EVERYONE hahaha. I was really invested in the story emotionally and I think that Cassandra Clare is an extremely talented author. Please continue making amazing stories!! :D

i cried, and cried and thought i hate cassandra clare, she is a genius( i still have mixed feeling for her) i was very happy that she didn't kill henry because i don't think i would have handled that very well. when i thought he died in idris i was devestaded.

I wish I never read the series. The ending is awful and cop-out. Even though the story in CP contradicts CA and CP, Cassie continued with her idea to keep all fans happy by giving Tessa both boys.
Her option for fans who are unhappy with the ending is to read 'explanations' on her page.

Such a disappointment!

I SOBBED for basically the entire end of the book (BY THE ANGEL THAT EPILOGUE NEARLY KILLED ME) at one point (I don't want to spoil anyone but PAGE 311 OMG) made me so upset and I cried so hard I was physically sick and almost threw up so I laid on the floor in my bathroom and just bawled my eyes out. And then I couldn't keep reading that night because my headache was so bad from crying. And then after I finished the book I tried for THREE WEEKS to start another book but I couldn't do it because I just kept thinking about CP2 so after those three weeks I gave up trying a new book and re-read the TMI series. And then even after re-reading TMI the next book I read I hated and think most of my hate came from my post-CP2 trauma. So if that's not dedicated I don't know what is.

Just lots of crying, tears and snot were everywhere. It was one of those books that stayed with me for days and I couldn't think about anything else.

*Spoilers* Usually when I finish a series I just full out sob for hours, but with this I didn't. The epilogue completely ruined it for me, and I have chosen to believe it doesn't exist. Ending it without the epilogue would have been absolutely perfect, or even ending it with Jem and Tessa on blackfriars bridge, BUT WITH WILL STILL ALIVE! I think this book has pretty much one of the most annoying endings I have ever read, it's not particularly bad, it's just too painful for me to believe it is real.

Crying … lots and lots of crying

I'm gonna be honest. I cried from the part where jem "died" untill the end. I have never read an ending so sad and yet so beautiful. At one point I threw the book away but I picked it up again immediatly after that.
I think Cassie proved that she really is a good writer and not just a stereotyp young adult writer.
This series was beautiful and the ending was perfect.

Set it down blinked a few times, I think maybe I realized how good TID is in my opinion. Walked around in a "Holy frack I just read a amazing book" stupor for a few minutes?

Excellent question, Sam.

I was kinda pissed...Tessa was ruined for me in the epilogue. I wish she never actually kissed Jem or whatever. I wish she just stayed single for once. She was two-timing and, and, AND...I don't know how to explain it. I just really didn't like the ending.

To be completely and brutally honest, I put it down part way through the epilogue because I was bored. When I picked it up 1 week (and 2 books) later my reaction was basically no more or less than a derisive snort.

Lame-ass ending. At least Meyers had the balls to choose one.

Cue Downvotes hah.
