I definitely liked this one better than the Clockwork Angel, though I seemed to have forgotten I hadn't read it yet and it and I went on to the fourth book in the Mortal Instruments series when I should've read this first. The characters were great and I was riveted and in agony with them. I can't wait for the next installment! (

This book started off really slow for me and I almost put it down. However, I knew that I enjoyed book 1 and decided to keep up with it. I wasn't disappointed. I enjoyed the characters, some more than others. As much as I liked Jem, I liked Will a lot more. I really felt bad for Will at the end and hope that things change for him in future books. Overall, an enjoyable book. (

“It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them.” (

I'm grounded... so I secretly finished this book sitting on the floor of my bathroom with the door locked.

This book really changed my view of Will now that I know why he acted like a douchebag throughout the entire first book. This book also made me ship Jessa 500% more (THEY GOT ENGAGED FDDHKBFSSJS). Still not the biggest fan of Wessa though. (

As always superb imagery! I have to say so far I like TID much more than TMI. Although the triangle between Tessa, Jem, and Will? Necessary, I think not. I absolutely adore Tessa, she doesn't take crap from anybody at all, no matter what. Very refreshing. (

Epigraph

"I wish you to know that you have been the last to dream of my soul....Since I knew you, I have been troubled by a remorse that I thought would never reproach me again, and have heard whispers from old voices impelling me upward, that I thought were silent for ever. I have had unformed ideas of striving afresh, beginning anew, shaking off sloth and sensuality, and fighting out the abandoned fight. A dream, all a dream, that ends in nothing..."

~ Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
