Shadowhunters Chat! discussion

We will be starting off the new year by reading Clockwork Angel. You can share your thoughts here!

I haven't decided yet when I'll read this, but most likely in the middle of the month.

Me too, I was gonna get it at the start of the month nice and on time but COVID messed up that too so a bunch of things were changed and I’ll get it in the middle of the month 🙄🙄

that's alright!!

have y'all seen the editions illumicrate did for this series? they are gorgeous. i really wanna buy them!!

Yes I've seen them!! I wish I could buy them 😍

same here! but sadly, they're not easily available here.

Okay so clockwork angel just arrived quickly and I feel like half the time I’m telling y’all when my books are gonna arrive 😂😂

Lol it's ok :D
It's good your book arrived!

yes, I'm gonna start it tomorrow!

oh im gonna start today I think

just started... couldn't wait lol

Lol I was impatient also so I decided to start 2021 with this book 😂

Tessa not wanting to leave her books while escaping the house is a whole mood

I just realized Tessa not liking chocolates kept her alive because Nate poisoned the chocolates that her aunt ate and died from if I remember correctly

yes, you're right!

I was in the middle of another book but I can't resist joining in on this BOTM!!!

omg wait I've forgotten so much and that's so smart!

glad to have you here, Liv.

Lol yes that's what I thought

im actually really excited to re-read it

Will rescuing Tessa at the beginning was hilarious. I loved reading their interactions 😂

“Let me give you a piece of advice. The handsome young fellow who's trying to rescue you from a hideous fate is never wrong. Not even if he says the sky is purple and made of hedgehogs.”

"You cut me,” he said. His voice was pleasant. British. Very ordinary. He looked at his hand with critical interest. “It might be fatal.”
Tessa looked at him with wide eyes. “Are you the Magister?”
He tilted his hand to the side. Blood ran down it, spattering the floor. “Dear me, massive blood loss. Death could be imminent.”

Will's sarcasm is why I love him so much

yay I finished it, the end part always gets me now I want to read clockwork prince but I don't have it.

I’m loving Jem so so much more than I did the last time I read this. I really didn’t appreciate Jem enough the first time.

I Love Jem too, since the first time I read. Given his experiences and everything, he's just too good! plus, I've only read 2 chapters so far, right now.

Same I love Jem more in this!!

Will calling ducks "bloodthirsty little beasts" 😂😂😂

OMG this scene 🤣

"Were you thinking about eating me?” Will inquired.
“No!”
“No one would blame you,” said Jem. “He’s very annoying.

hahaha I loveeee them

"...The house in which they kept
Tessa, I had been told, was a Downworlder brothel catering
to mundanes with unusual tastes.”
“Will, I’m not at all sure—,” Charlotte began dubiously.
“Hmph,” Jessamine said. “No wonder you were so keen to
go there, William.”

I'm kind of loving Jessie too. hehe.

Jessie has some good lines too 😂

definitely does. btw, I just read the part where Will stopped Tessa from touching the Pyxis and

SPOILER
(given his past experience, I kind of panicked.)

A summoning spell here,
a bit of angel blood there, and you’ve a recipe for
indestructible human warriors.

only Will could say such a thing, haha.

I do!

WILL IS THE BEST. At least, in my opinion XD He's also my #1 book crush lol

I am also appreciating the characters so much more now!

I feel so bad for Henry everyone is so mean to him

Also I just finished and it was so good

I actually like Henry a lot! and the first time I read, I could relate to him a lot in the sense that he's always lost in his work and inventions, the things that interest him. I used to be like that too with my imagination and art and all

y'all are tempting me to reread this book and i honestly think i'm gonna do it

Will hadn’t been thinking about Tessa. He was getting good at not thinking about her, really;
all it took was determination and practice.

the first time I read, I noticed all these lines about Will towards Tessa, how at times he looked at her, how being nice he suddenness changed his behaviour and I'm noticing yet again, but I wonder why people don't see it.

most say they never saw Will having any feeling or emotion towards Tessa and that his confession of love came out of nowhere.

SPOILER
and even though I agree that the demon curse was a silly thing and lazy to write as the demon, it's what happened to Will! and it matters how he took that.

suddenly*

Yeah I don't see how people don't notice Will's behavior towards Tessa. Many times he would look at her or act nice every now and then.

exactly, and that nice side is what he shows unconsciously. he only acts weird or rude when he is back in guard coz it scares him THAT much

chapter 19.

The first time he’d ever felt this sensation, he’d been
twelve years old, holding that blasted box—but he’d never
imagined feeling it in the fastness of the Institute.

I can't believe I never focused on this line the first time I read. did you guys?
