I wasn't sure if I'd need to remember the bulk of what happened through The Mortal Instruments series when I started reading CA. It has been a good while since I've read those, after all. Happily, I was able to dive right into Clockwork when I began reading. I hadn't been expecting it to be set in a different time period but it was a pleasant surprise.

I loved all of the new characters introduced in this series and found myself thrilled to see some "familiar faces" as well. Jem, Tessa, Jessamine, Charlotte, Will, Sophie... I enjoyed and adored them all. I'm anticipating seeing them again and I don't doubt I'll be thinking about this book for a few days to come.

I can't decide if I'm suppose to be shipping Tessa/Jem or Tessa/Will. Not only that but I'm extremely curious about the epilogue. I just want to shake Will and tell Tessa to leave- to give him a taste of his own medicine and ignore him. I'm honestly concerned about Jem and hope that he will be well. There are so many unanswered questions and possibilities that I'm really anticipating more. That's a good thing, definitely. To read something that makes you think about it constantly, to wonder what will happen next; that's a successful book in my opinion.

Now it's time to let it all soak in.
