I cried so hard when Jem came and played the violin for Will before he died

[@marmissnielsen]

Me too! well... I cried a lot but that one part I fully cried a river :'(

[@deathlyhallowsgirl10]

THAT MOMENT IS WHAT MADE ME SOB SO HARD

[@zea4xx659]

omg i died when he did that

[@prishasksksk8519]

That scene was so heart touching and even though will married the girl will loved jem still never stopped loving will which shows how pure relationship will and jem have. I am #herongraystairs forever

[@audreyatkins1192]

I KNOW I LEGIT DIED AND SOBBED FOR THREE HOURS

[@haladriels]

Will is smooth ass: asks tessa to take off her corset. Jem is shy ass: rips tessa's corset off like a bamf

[@emmalb7977]

LOL

[@LindaSpringerr]

I LOVE IT THO 😂😂

[@adrianabooks5222]

OMGGG!! I never pictured it that way!

[@mikapolicarpio6567]

[@yammy20000]

This is why Jem is bae

[@Anc1111__]

When Will was dying and Jem was playing the violin I was absolutely hysterical.

[@laurenallison9550]

OMG I JUST FINISHED THAT PART AND THE BOOK AND IM CRYING MY EYEBALLS OUT😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@luci9625]

VIDITA SHAH I read it on the tram It didn't end well.

[@Anc1111__]

I know and you're already emotionally drained from the rest of the book which makes it worse.

[@aluralura]

+VIDITA SHAH same

[@Anc1111__]

I just reread Clockwork Princess and I was still bawling when he died.

[@bellathorneanzendaya]

After Will and Tessa did the frick frack in the cave and Will got the star on his shoulder I started laughing hiSTERIcallY because you mean to tell me that all Herondales have a star on their shoulder because of that one time Tessa and Will had sex and the Ithuriel was so pumped about it he accidently left a mark on Will???

[@AyLiNMuSiC8613]

+bellathorneanzendaya Oh god this is too funny 😂

[@Lukesimmer]

haha love this

[@frambjosie]

+bellathorneanzendaya HOLY SHIT HAHAHAHAHA I DIDNT THINK ABOUT THAT

[@katiek8098]

Thank you for this

[@britanybranham8986]

bellathorneanzendaya Thank you for making this scene about 500000000000000x better

[@soleilcollier5914]

Was anyone else crying hysterically when Jem said goodbye to Will in the training room?!?

[@lucyverona7590]

✋😰😱😩😭😭😭😭😭

[@maryadmitrievnaakhrosimova9508]

I was

[@louise252]

I WAS SOBBING

[@criesincryptid]

MEEEEEEEEE

[@madisonmesk1016]

Me like ugly girl crying

[@brittany7177]

When Tessa said that she couldn't remember the precise blue of Will's eyes I just completely lost it. My heart ripped to shreds

[@Dreamfyre_]

Or when she said that she'd sometimes wake up In the morning and find something funny, she'd turn to the other side of the bed to tell Will only to remember that he's not there, or when everyone was telling stories of Wills life on his death bed. But what got me the most, was how Will died. Will died by looking at both Jem and Tessa smiling and then they saw the light go out of his radiant blue eyes. (Cries hysterically)

[@mariapap1661]

CrazyOld Dude now I'm crying....thank you 😭😭😭

[@ender4344]

TAZY dammitttt

[@thesweetpet]

This breaks me everytime

[@ender4344]

"She remembered when Will had died, her agony, the long nights alone, reaching across the bed every morning when she woke up, for years expecting to find him there, and only slowly growing accustomed to the fact that that side of the bed would always remain empty. The moments when she had found something funny and turned to share the joke with him, only to be shocked anew that he was not there. The worst moments, when, sitting alone at breakfast, she had realised that she had forgotten the precise blue of his eyes or the depth of his laugh; that, like the sound of Jem's violin music, they had faded into the distance where memories are silent."

[@mm-nn6pe]

WHEN TESSA WAS TALKING IN THE EPILOGUE ABOUT HOW SHE STILL EXPECTED TO SEE HIS BLUE EYES ACROSS THE BREAKFAST TABLE AND TO SLEEP NEXT TO HIM IN BED I DISSOLVED INTO A PUDDLE OF TEARS

[@bookandanimelover4life582]

Same I felt a whole in my heart

[@pratappurswani7212]

And then she realized she forgot the exact color of his eyes 😭😭😭

[@greta2545]

I’m sobbing right now

[@gretchens4293]

m&m especially when she talked about how she woke up screaming for will and magnus came and told her that the first ones the hardest

[@hiyonono]

“Of course you can have a true Shadowhunter name,” Will said. “You can have mine.” Tessa stared at him, all black and white against the black-and-white snow and stone. “Your name?” Will took a step toward her, till they stood face-to-face. Then he reached to take her hand and slid off her glove, which he put into his pocket. He held her bare hand in his, his fingers curved around hers. His hand was warm and callused, and his touch made her shiver. His eyes were steady and blue; they were everything that Will was: true and tender, sharp and witty, loving and kind. “Marry me,” he said. “Marry me, Tess. Marry me and be called Tessa Herondale. Or be Tessa Gray, or be whatever you wish to call yourself, but marry me and stay with me and never leave me, for I cannot bear another day of my life to go by that does not have you in it.”

[@l.b.101]

Hiyono Luck I CRIED HAPPY TEARS

[@hiyonono]

Hessa T. (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄) (*´▽`*)

[@styshine]

I WAS SCREAMING

[@breannat27]

Hiyono Luck I was spoiled ;-;-;-;-;-;

[@hiyonono]

Breanna Tucker ?!!? How?! Why were you on this video if you hadn't finished?

[@kelliecamdotcom]

The Epilogue killed me. Books NEVER make me cry, but I was almost a puddle on the floor when that Epilogue came around. Not to mention the songs that I was listening to were NOT helping...

[@saadiapeerzada1348]

The epilogue is the most beautiful thing on earth

[@home_girl-betripping2782]

😭😭😭😭 WHY WILL??!? WHY COULDN'T YOU BE IMMORTAL LIKE TESSA?!????? WHY???!!!😭😭😭😭😭😫

[@nj66666]

Because if he did then Tessa could never have been with Jem

[@maiblizzard6693]

+home_girl-be tripping Cassie did that so we wouldn't have a Twilight ending #STILLTEAMJACOB

[@diva2infinity_xo17]

+GoldMiley :* no body likes will and tessa like😑

[@nj66666]

***** There are team Jessa shippers, though I'm a Wessa shipper myself. Tessa loved Jem just as much as she did Will, so wasn't it for the best that she got to end up with both the guys she loved?

[@nj66666]

Diva2infinity_xo Hello, Wessa shipper over here. Clearly, your statement is wrong then

[@Kazatron10000]

I cried when will was comparing the first time he met Jem to the moment Jem left the institute

[@memoriesintechnicolour1360]

mate, i was swimming in my tears

[@saadiapeerzada1348]

the 1/2 time i cried

[@ender4344]

THAT HURT SO BAD. This book destroyed me

[@iqrakhan2878]

when Will introduces Gabriel to his parents as "Gabriel Lightworm" and Tessa is about to say "WILL!" but then just starts laughing OMG that was hilarious

[@bookandanimelover4life582]

Yeah I loved that part to,something about the Herondale boys,it's like sarcastic jokes genetically are passed down or something

[@faewarriors761]

I laughed SOO hard, and then the next page when i saw 2008, I collapsed crying...

[@ender4344]

I was laughing so hard. Then I looked at the next page and saw "2008"

[@lavendertheflower4352]

I think a better name for this series is: Everybody's Fucking Related

[@alicehe1633]

Pretty much

[@marinao4412]

+LavenderThe Flower Except Jace and Clary

[@dear.kotori.minami3701]

Clary and jace are cousins

[@LoeysAeri]

LavenderThe Flower like seriously they are. the TMI characters are basically the offspring of the TID characters, and all of them knew each other and we're really close and everyone got married to each other it was insane. haha

[@jennyhollywood2736]

Cousins is better than brother & sister x

[@JoannaRo25]

Jem playing the violin for Will while he was on his deathbed, and Will passing away peacefully afterwards, with both Jem and Tessa by his side, is hands down the most emotional, bittersweet, even somewhat spiritual scene I've ever read. It was beautiful and I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. I don't want to sound like I'm exaggerating, but I felt hollow after finishing the book. Will, Jem and Tessa's love for each other is so well written, definitely way better than any of the characters on TMI. I just love this series. I'll definitely be rereading in the future.

[@Dreamfyre_]

I too felt hollow after reading the book. It was literally the definition of a "bittersweet"ending.

[@bookandanimelover4life582]

Don't worry I felt hallow too,but I love TMI too.I think the whole shadow hunter world that Cassie created is well written and thought

[@saadiapeerzada1348]

I felt like a shell after crying in the epilogue

[@gracebaldwin5534]

I was tearing up when Jem and Will were saying their goodbyes in the middle of the book. I love the trio, or what everyone calls Herograystairs. Their relationship is just so sweet, I love that they all love each other.

[@apriljaimes6361]

I'm just so sad that Will is dead. I know it was inevitable but I loved him for Tessa so much. Don't get me wrong I love Jem but I always just pictured him and Tessa as friends.

[@Dreamfyre_]

+Nicole Herondale She "runs" back to Jem after about a century. It's not like she went back to him right after Will died.

[@nj66666]

Oh my god I KNOW. Like, I don't mind Tessa and Jem together but WESSA IS LIKE OTP

[@laurakrivdova1866]

I was a little sad for Jem after this book but I was so happy for Tessa and Will and than there was epilogue and I was like that's not true! Will is finaly with Tessa and in next chapter he is dead!? It was the worst ending from all.

[@laurakrivdova1866]

I was a little sad for Jem after this book but I was so happy for Tessa and Will and than there was epilogue and I was like that's not true! Will is finaly with Tessa and in next chapter he is dead!? It was the worst ending from all.

[@kaivafirleja3888]

When I read epilogue, I couldn't normally read the words. After every sentence I cried and screamed in the pillow, my face was hurting from crying. I just can't. And when you said that 2008 was the year when cohf ended and every puzzle piece was put together and I didn't even realize. Oh god. It's been hard journey

[@lucy11465]

At first when Tessa mentioned there was a star on Will, I was like, doesn't Jace have one, and then I realized that Will was the one who first touched the angel and that all his descendants would have that star.

[@sweetheart037]

And when Inquisitor Herondale sacrificed herself so that Jace could live bc she saw the star on his shoulder...the same star her son and husband had ;)

[@bookandanimelover4life582]

Oh my gosh I didn't realize that!!!! Wow i'm so freaking depressed right now

[@porgieM]

"All the lightwood's look the same to me" Not all 😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏 *whispers* Malec.

[@porgieM]

Also, I cried at the Jem and Will bit. Cried for the first time in any book

[@bookandanimelover4life582]

😂😂😂😂😂 and 😭😭😭😭😭

[@themusicangelxoxo]

I saw the family tree, and read it over about five times. It wasn't until I looked at it again that I noticed Will and Tessa's son's name is James. That is when I broke down.

[@morganmeyer7375]

I... I just realized that when you commented. I mean I knew their kids name was James but I just realized... Jem..

[@lochanandmaya5890]

Yhhh.....the same wid me .... I was totally hysteric when I realised their elder son was named James.......

[@sagaeysteinsdottir8401]

are we not gonna talk about the fact that clary's red hair came from henry?!? and the blue eyes and black hair of the lightwoods from cecily definetly my fave part!

[@laurenlester6210]

the whole epilogue i was crying because it was so heart wrenching

[@keely_p6298]

ME TOO!! oh my god!!

[@cato1041]

Me too! hahahaha and then once I finished I threw the book at the wall because I was like "NOOO! WILL!!!"

[@navik.goraya942]

*SPOILERS* When Cassie was describing Will's death, OMG I was CRYING HYSTERICALLY. When a book ends and all the characters are still alive, in your mind they live on but when your favourite character dies...OHH THE PAIN

[@springdayisnottoday371]

I THANK MORTMAIN FOR KILLING CONSUL. THANK YOU. YOU ARE GOOD.

[@renabotort1]

I cried LITERALLY all the book.

[@niabrown7150]

“Ithuriel....you know you gotta be more careful...what are you doing man!!” I feel like Ithuriel is the stupidest and least careful ANGEL EVER!!! “Well this is unexpected” I DIED!! COMPLETELY DIED!!! Then in CoHF when Clace...you know I laughed because I added Magnus’s line from CP in there!!

[@maiblizzard6693]

+Hermione Luna Morgenstern “daughter of Nyx” Herondale Prior I know right why the **** would they do it in the demon realm! That is just disrespectful and dangerous

[@niabrown7150]

YUUUUUUUUSH

[@tiffanyx6424]

This epilogue...... Not accepting the fact that Will died!😢

[@kk8490]

what? what do you mean? Will doesn't die, silly silly person.

[@tiffanyx6424]

+Are you Kidding me? Agreed...;)

[@kk8490]

Tiffany X in fact, there isn't even an epilogue. I don't know which book you're talking about XD

[@jessasalundagit234]

+Are you Kidding me? There is an Epilogue

[@kk8490]

+Jessa Salundagit I know, I was being ironic😂

[@hedvigteilmann7099]

“Simons a rat” Isabelle said darkly. “Did he do something to you?” Alec was full of brotherly concern. “Did he touch? If he tried anything- “ “No, Alec,” Isabelle said irritably. “Not like that. He’s a rat.” “She’s drunk,” said Jace, beginning to turn away in disgust. “I’m not,” Isabelle said indignantly. “Well maybe a little, but that’s not the point. The point is, Simon drank one of those blue drinks- I told him not to, but he didn’t listen- and he turned into a rat.” “A rat?” Clary repeated incredulously. “You don’t mean...” I mean a rat, Isabelle said. “Little. Brown. Scaly tail.” “Father...” Gabriel began. “Father is a worm.” “What do you mean, Gabriel? What did Father do?” Gabriel shook his head. “He’s a worm,” he said again, tonelessly. “I know. He has brought shame on the name of Lightwood, and lied to both of us. He shamed and destroyed our mother. But we need not be like him.” Gabriel pulled away from his brothers grip, his teeth suddenly flashing in an angry scowl. “You’re not listening to me,” he said. “He’s a worm. A worm. A bloody great serpent- thing” Guess it’s a Lightwood thing.

LMAOO (also your username is GOLD)

[@elig.velasco3594]

This book made me cry a lot in the end my mom was like: "honey what's wrong?" Me:"Will and his blue eyes and Jem playing his violin and Tessa and their children and WILL mom WILL my Will beautiful and charismatic and handsome Will is..." Then I broke down again and cried for like an hour Will will always be in my heart I love Will ❤️

[@erikadecastro297]

I was bawling my eyes out at 2:30am yesterday😢 I've never cried to a book before and Clockwork Princess was a first to me. My tears started falling when Jem played the violin when Will was in his deathbed. Like seriously. How can Cassie be this cruel?! Although I also love the ending because Tessa technically ended up with the both of them.

[@elisecordes]

your right she did because there's a whole other time period we only know parts of in the 1900's because that's, when the last hours takes place because it's in 1903 when will is still alive because in the epilogue of clockwork princess he dies in 1937 and then Tessa ends up with Jem in 2008 so like a whole ceunrty, would have passed in between then which means she ends up with Jem near the end of the events of heavenly fire

[@inessantos4918]

Honestly, the last time I was this involved with a character was probably with Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. Will Herondale is one of the best characters I've ever come across with. He's just so loyal, so raw and so so passionate, it's insane. And despite loving Tessa like crazy, he did nothing when Jem and Tessa got engaged cause he was so selfless that he preferred to let them get married than to ruin Jem only chance of happiness before his death (or that's what we thought xD) I don't know how am I suppose to keep going with my life now that the Infernal Devices are over XD THE FEELS!!!!!!

[@ARSTARLESS]

I DONT WANT WILL TO BE DEAD

[@_paraluman]

the most heartbreaking part? will and tessa telling their story of how they first met to each other while will was at the brink of death... the FEELS TT-TT

[@idiamond99]

why...just....WHY!!! (T^T)o

[@sanghamitradixit3555]

Will and Jem's goodbyes in each chapter or whatever were killing me more than all that romance turmoil

[@Tomebound]

This trilogy is EPIC. That is what it is. EPIC!

[@zea4xx659]

omg ur so right it's simply AMAZING:'(

[@cristinvonschlag1462]

I really need to stop watching your book talks at 11:30 pm, because whenever I do you give me this insanely strong pull to (re)read whatever book you were talking about, when I REALLY SHOULD BE SLEEPING BECAUSE I ALWAYS HAVE TO GET UP AT 6 am, WHICH NEVER ACTUALLY WORKS BECAUSE... Books... Btw, all of your videos crack me up. I honestly love them, thank you so much.

[@dancelikeumathurman8092]

Cristin von Schlag honestly me right now its 12am n im crying over fictional characters and i have a test tomorrow

[@kokochen5754]

JEM + WILL = ALL THE TEARS

[@saoirsekenny]

Omg!! When Will died and Tessa would wake up in the night screaming for him I was bawling my friggin eyes out!! I was absolutely HYSTERICAL!!

[@sweetheart037]

SPOILER ALERT: The part where Will dies in the epilogue and Jem comes and plays him that song (like Zhi Yin had) and just THE DESCRIPTION of all the feelings that song entailed had me crying like a baby!!!!!

[@jennyhollywood2736]

AJ N Oh gods i didn't know what to think 😭😭😭😭

[@eleniplevriti3304]

AJ N Me too 😭😭😭😭

[@sweetheart037]

ikr? And the part where they named their son James and Jem had to look away bc he was crying - I wascrying so much at that part

[@tessaherondale7130]

AJ N OMG ME TO!

[@sweetheart037]

Tessa Herondale It was so heartbreaking but the entire epilogue was full of tributes to Will's love for both Tessa and Jem and vice versa...

[@WebkinzCheekyFawn]

i'm pretty sure cecicly is great, great, great, great, great, great grandma Isabelle is the daughter of Robert Lightwood who is the son of Andrew Lightwood who is the son of Isidore Lightwood who is the son of Christopher Lightwood who is the son of Anna Lightwood who is the daughter of Cecily and Gabriel Lightwood.

[@anao1049]

No christopher and anna are siblings they’re both cecily and gabriel’s kids

[@youcanwriterhymes]

And Alec had a crush on his cousin, jace

[@driekevandermerwe7509]

***Possible spoiler*** I just realized that in the cave seen Tessa's Angel left a mark on Will in the form of a STAR and is that not the exact mark that led Imogen to save Jace's life in City of Ashes???? The mark that all Herondales have started with Will and Tessa! Say whaaat???

[@angelicaaaschuyler8082]

Well, yes. That was the purpose....

[@myrandanew6958]

OMIGOSH!!!!!! I finished Clockwork Princess at 1:12 AM and spent the rest of the night crying. Literally, tears would not stop flowing!!! IT WAS SO EMOTIONAL!!!!! The Infernal Devices was WAYYYYYYYY better than The Mortal Instruments!! I never wanted it to end!!! What now?? Just the prologue was heartwrenching!! I LOVE WHEN JEM AND WILL MET!!! Cecily is amazing!!! Love her!!! DEMON POX!!!!!!! HES A WORM!!!!!! When Magnus gave WIll the necklace, I FREAKED OUT!!! I was so wondering how Izzy got it.... CONSUL WAYLAND IS A JERK!!!! HATE HIM!!! I thought Charlotte was great and she was a perfect character. I just love the Cecily and Will relationship. SO CUTE!!! I knew Cecily and Gabriel would love each other. HENRY INVENTED PORTALS!!!!!!!! Henry's great!! I had an idea Emma was related to Jem while reading Heavenly Fire so when it was true AHHHH!!!!!!!! Magnus is awesome!!! Tessa's got a poker!! The Lincoln Quote!!! XD The fire part was just... as you said, heartbreaking. I was sad Jessie died!! AND NOVEMBER 10 STORY KILLED ME!!!!!!!!! I was also like WHATS UP WITH THE ANGEL!!!!!!! And yes, Ithurial was shackled in Valentine's basement. "Im Gabriel" HAHAHA!!!!!!! XD Magnus and Henry. SENSING A BROMANCE!!!!! I LOVED WHEN SOPHIE ASCENDED!!! When Jem was about to die...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When the parabatia connection broke...I CRIED SO MUCH!!!! I believed with my every last being Jem was dead!!! I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN BROTHER ZACHARIAH CAME!!!!! AND WHEN MAGNUS FOUND THEM IN BED TOGETHER XD XD XD XD!!!!!!!!! I DIED!!!!!! Bridget was awesome as a fighter!!! Shes great for someone with stupid depressing songs!! WHEN ZACHARIAH WAS JEM I JUST!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I COULDNT TAKE IT!!!!!!!! OMIGSOH!!!!!!!!!!! TEARS!!!!!!!!!! I was at a friends house when I read that and I broke down crying!!! She was very concerned. I WAS HYSTERICALLY CRYING READING THE EPILOGUE!!! It was one in the morning so I was delirious from lack of sleep and the tears wouldnt stop coming. AND WHEN HE BECAME JEM AGAIN!!!!!!!! Cassie did great writing this!! My favorite parts were Tessa and Will in the prison, THE CHRISTMAS PARTY WHICH BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES, and THE EPILOGUE!!!!!!!!!! I thought the Christmas Party was just amazing and so sweet and AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! One of my favorite quotes was when Will said, "I am catastrophically in love with you." AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I read The Mortal Instruments before I read The Infernal Devices. So I didnt understand the Tessa and Jem parts in the epilogue of Heavenly fire. SO, I reread the ending and I CRIED MY EYES OUT!!!!!!!!!! SO SAD WHEN IT MAKES SENSE!!!!!!!! In all, Clockwork Princess was when of the BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD XD XD XD XD

[@zea4xx659]

My problem is that i will never read such an amazing book as clockwork princess, there will never be a book that will make me feel like this again ♥ ave atque vale

[@jahnaviyalamati8395]

Girl.....I feel u I feel u :) and I cried like a doofus after clockwork princess :(

[@khadijachoudry]

OMG I JUST REALIZED!!!!!!!! Jace and Emma are related.....!!!!

[@Rosevieenla]

Emma and Julian are also related

[@khadijachoudry]

Cat ninja How are Julian and Emma related?

[@Rosevieenla]

Khadija Choudry Will and Tessa's daughter Lucie married Jesse Blackthorne

[@mayayoung7224]

+Khadija Choudry I don't think they actually are since cassandra clare said multiple times on tumblr that the family tree is fake and james and cordelia's marriage is was staged.

[@dej01]

+Cat ninja i think it's distant enough though

[@emilywebster7655]

You probably realize this by now, but since Henry created the Portal, Henry and Charlotte gave Charles the Fairchild name, so then Clary is related to Henry because she is a descendant of Charles. So is Clary is related to Henry, then that's how she has rune and portal powers because Henry created the portal with new runes.

[@emilywebster7655]

Also, Clary got her red hair from Henry :)

[@bookandanimelover4life582]

Dang I never thought about the whole portal thing ,you're right that is weird

[@hedvigteilmann7099]

emily webster I thought she had those powers bc of the angel blood...?

[@saadiapeerzada1348]

dang, never thought of that but true

[@nj66666]

I made the stupid mistake of reading the epilogue of this book while listening to the instrumental version of Say Something, and I've read this book hundreds of times, felt the feels, and somewhat managed to contain myself but for some reason as I was listening to this music, and I read the very ending, the sentence, "No, the last thing she cared about was whether people were staring at the boy and girl kissing by the river as London, it's rivers and towers and churches and bridges and streets circled all about them like the memory of a dream.." I just broke down so hard man. If they ever make a movie, that music better be the soundtrack for the ending, I swear to God

[@linathelatte632]

I'm just crying reading this comment

[@mariapap1661]

I have mixed feelings about whether there should be a movie or series. The books are SO FREAKIG GOOD that I think that the movie or the series won't be as good as the books. The same thing happened with TMI

[@marybethcooper3933]

I appreciate your enthusiasm. Most heartbreaking moment for me: Epilogue: pg561-562: "The worst moments, when, sitting alone at breakfast, she had realized that she had forgotten the precise blue of his eyes or the depth of his laugh; that, like the sound of Jem's violin music, they had faded into the distance where memories are silent." Beautifully tragic quote and perfect example of the ties between these three outstanding characters.

[@alewin110296]

I'm soo saad, i just can't live knowing will is dead, I JUST CAN'T, reading the epilogue was the saddest moment of MY LIFE, I don't know why, but I'm not happy at all

[@clareandresen925]

The epilogue took place in 2008. You didn't expect him to live forever, did you?

[@alewin110296]

I knoow but I didnn't expect Tessa to come back with Jem after all she lived with Wil, I feel betrayed and I know it's stupid but I feel this way

[@lizzparkerrb8320]

Everytime, EVERYTIME, I read the part of the whole life of Tessa and Will, how they lived and how was his death, I can't... I JUST CAN'T, IT'S TOO MUCH! I cry soooo histirically much, I almost choke myself..... I miss reading of him!!

[@Martu_CAS]

Something I really need to highlight from the book is at the epilogue when we read about Jace's speech during Cecily and Gabriel's wedding. Man, that was hillarious. I laughed sooo hard, damn I don't want to stop reading about the shadowhunter world ever!

[@andreaverdes8794]

Martina Castro Vallejo Jace's speech? Isn't this like 100 years before Jace?

[@Martu_CAS]

Andrea Verdes OMG! Yes, I didn't realize. I meant Will's speech. Thanks!

[@Sims3apple]

Martina Castro Vallejo Its will omg i spent like 5 mins laughing lol

[@Martu_CAS]

That could be one hell of a plot twist though lol.

[@Sims3apple]

haha true

[@anagabymunoz9745]

WHAT WILL WHAT NO WHY WILL WHY NO WILL.I WAS SOBBING IMMENSELY ON MY SCHOOL BUS I COULDN'T DO IT

[@kristaliaastari2856]

Just finished the book and came here immediately after I was done. I have been crying for the last hour, thanks so much for making me laugh again. HUGS!

[@124GirlVamp]

what chapter does jem die in

[@lamorobelu]

I'm in the same situation! Crying and laughing at the same time. I'll miss this saga ;(

[@patbrmdz]

I FEEL THE SAME WAY YOU DO IN THIS BOOK TALK :D Also, I kinda guessed that Jem would become a Silent Brother, since he and Tessa were talking about it a few times in the book and in Clockwork Prince (I think? As far as I can remember)... Yeahh... Every Jem moment is so heart-wrenching... I cried the most when he and Will were fighting in the cave, and when the paragraph said that he was glad that he was able to fight beside Will "for one last time." GAAAAH TEAAAAARS T^T I absolutely loved the ending! I thought it was a perfect ending for the series! :D I also love your book talks

[@n0thinglikeus]

i just finished reading clockwork princess oh my god im so devastated rn i cant believe tid is over NO NO NO I REFUSE TO THINK THAT when Jem wanted Will to save Tessa and oh god THE FREAKING TEARS MAN I COULDNT HOLD THEM ANY LONGER their friendship is so important and i literally cried through the last 50 pages straight it was too emotional for me and Will's death no no no but im SO happy that Will and Tessa grew old with each other and had kids :') all in all, i've never cried SO hard during a book. i think i'll never get over tid, im just too attached to the characters. thank you for everything Cassie!

[@airrishfloresca7914]

The bit i could read over and over again was the paragraph in the epilogue where jem was playing the violin and how he played 'the years of Will's life as he saw it' such a beautiful paragraph!

[@kristen7615]

Will shouting, "I can see blood on the cobblestones!" In the epilogue omg I was crying/laughing *happy feels* AGHHH

[@ralitsaurukova1106]

I still like the TMI better, but Clockwork Princess got me weeping like a baby. I loved every word of it. The friendships, the feelings, the sacrifices everyone made. It was so beautiful. The worst and most scary moment for me was when Henry got attacked by the automaton and... Another hard moment was when Will's parabatai rune faded, but I already knew that Jem was alive so it wasn't that terrible. I liked the epilogue best, I was biting my lip 'cause I was reading in public xD. When Cassie was telling about Will/Tessa life, I was like "OK. I guess I don't need my heart anyways. Go ahead and have it, Clare". Recently I read "Lady Midnight" and I really loved Jem's presence there, and Tessa's.

[@sweetlittledoves14]

It's hard to imagine my simple search for the 10th anniversary addition of Twilight lead me to Christine's Channel. Now like 3 months later, I have rediscovered my joy of reading fiction/fantasy. After hearing about the Infernal devices and watching the "Mourning Period" video I had decided to purchase "Clockwork Angel" and fell in love with this series. I feel like I need more books, even though I am totally behind on this book series train! I am finally going to start "The Mortal Instruments" so, can't wait to see the parallels! This book had me crying in the end, I want to see the world from Tessa's new prospective sooo bad!

[@bisanmhamed4226]

THIS IS THE MOST BOOK I CRIED OVER AND LAUGHED OVER AND I CANT GET OVER IT I FUCKING HATE MY LIFE

[@autumnmowry1100]

I WAS BALLING AT THE END TOO!!!!!!!!! when we read about Tessa and Wills life together...... I was sad for days! UGH!

[@kawaii_neko_fox6217]

OMG, my favorite part was the whole Magnus and Henry scene down in the crypt too that and the epilogue when we found out that Jem has been cured and is no longer a silent brother and can marry Tessa if they wanted to.

[@Lukesimmer]

omg Cassandra Clare kills me. i love these characters to death

[@emqueenofmemes2514]

I don't even know why but Magnus comforting Tessa after Will's death really touched me. Like they weren't really close (at least the book doesn't portray them being close), but they had this tie that bound them--the difficulty and enormity of being immortal and watching your loved ones growing old and dying. Yeaugh idk it just really touched meeee

[@cecilsol2166]

I went into this book serie with the highest hopes, and after reading Clockwork Angel and being immensely disappointed, I never thought that after reading the last book - I actually never even thought that I would even get around to reading the last book, because I disliked it so much - I could be left with such a feeling of immense happiness. But I did, and I couldn't be happier about it. **THIS WILL INVOLVE SPOILERS, SO IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE SERIES, DO NOT READ ON** I am absolutely in love with Will and Tessa's love-story. It was one of the most beautiful, most innocent and pure things I have ever been a witness to, and I can't be more than grateful to Cassie and can't thank her enough, for creating two suh amazing characters. It was so incredible to read. I also so enjoyed the way this book tied up to The Mortal Instruments. The whole way through the series, ever since we got introduced to the Lightwoods, i tried to made a connection to, how that would make sense with the Lightwoods we know today, especially since Will shares features with Alec. And it was so fun getting to know Cecily and making connections to how a possible relationship between her and Gabriel would be so perfect, and make so much sense, with the dark hair and blue eyes, and Cecily receiving the ruby red necklace (Izzy trademark) , which is then somehow passed on to Izzy. SO COOL I also loved how Magnus plays such a big part in this story. I so love that character.. I'm just so happy, and i got go on and on for ages. hahah

[@cecilsol2166]

Cecilie Elvira I also adore, how beautifully written and explained the relationship between Jem, Tessa and Will is. This is not your typical everyday boring lovestory, of a girl having to choose between two guys, NO. This is so much more beautiful and almost spiritual in a way. I loved how both of the guys, just wanted her to be happy, and also wanted whoever she ended up choosing, also be happy, because Will and Jem loved each other that much. It was incredible reading this and watching their friendship play out..

[@Mexkey514]

The thing that touched me the most was when Tessa was recalling the life she had with Will, I was seriously crying so much then when she ends up with Jem I was soo happy!! I love how Cassandra relates all her stories too

[@himoshimosh]

The scene where Jem played the violin for Will. He played for those YEARS. That made me cry too. It's like a replay for the whole trilogy and i felt like those were my memories too.. T________T Didn't want it to end. but TLH! TLH!

[@matchaaaas6018]

As someone who has spent the last couple of hours crying and screaming while finishing the book, this video is a blessing. Thank you, Christine.

[@Em16134]

In The Dark Artifices I am so excited to see Jem fight by Jace. I will be bawling because its like hes fighting along side Will. Amnd just THE TEARS!

[@camrieboehlke1954]

I love the scene where Will is about to save Tessa and he and Jem say their goodbyes.... right in the feels! "You cannot go where I cannot follow!" omg!

[@Angie-gb1ke]

It's been almost three years since she uploaded this but i love this book talk so much

[@advitbajaj1085]

I was soooooooooo moved when I finished the book, the most emotional part being the epilogue made me cry so much and the most beautiful part was when Jem came and played the violin for Will when he was on his deathbed, and when taking his last breaths he looked at Jem and Tessa and then died, the most cry worthy moment 😭♥️

[@virginiaporro4102]

I was truly convinced that Jem was dead and then when he appeared in the battle, I didn't see that coming and it was an extremely good plot twist but when Cecily says she knew that he went to the Silent Brothers either to die or to be healed I was like NO YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT! YOU NEVER TOLD US THAT! Wessa for life but I am happy thet Jem is back :3

[@Beccasawrus]

Also, I have this theory that Jem gave up on the cure so that Will could be with Tessa...

[@meganelizabeth5572]

I never thought of it that way- that's a really good point. Maybe Jem found out about Will and Tessa?

[@Beccasawrus]

He did, he overheard Will and Magnus talking about it. I think Sophie must have told him that Tessa loved him back when she was sitting with him in his room. Because it's just after that that he leaves with the Silent Brother...

[@meganelizabeth5572]

Ohhh, I totally forgot about that part! As I love Will and Tessa, sometimes I feel so bad for Jem. He was engaged to Tessa, and it must have been horrible to have to sit by and watch her fall in love with someone else, even if it is your parabati.

[@Beccasawrus]

I'm team Jem myself. It's so sad how it happened, especially when Tessa tried to tell him what happened with her and Will in the cave. But I can't be too upset because he got the epilogue. And I love how Caasandra Clare did this to prove that you can love two people equally at the same time.

[@meganelizabeth5572]

Personally, I'm totally team Will, but I agree that it was awesome that Jem was still in the epilogue, even if I cried like a maniac when Tessa was talking him about Will. I'm praying that we get to see more of Jem and Tessa in City of Heavenly Fire. Cassie Clare can write a beautiful story while still incorporating the lessons that Tessa learns. This book is absolutely amazing, and is probably one of my favorite books.

[@tsherard1680]

This book had me feeling all the feels. I was so emotional during the entire book.

[@528cherryblossom491]

I loved that scene when Jem played his violin on Wills deathbed. It was so beautiful and sad and wonderful and .... arg I don´t know enough words for it. This book was so good, and I enjoyed every single word of it!

[@thegrumppykiddo]

My face was just full of tears when Tessa flash back her memories with Will it's broken my heartT___T

[@MariaAlexandraN]

I cried my eyes out with the Epilogue. Gosh!! I can't even describe what I felt. Every time they remembered some moment of Will and Jem's childhood, when Will died, dear lord. #mindblown

[@dearcomrade2358]

i love this booktalk so much because it's been three years and christine is still her the same happy and screaming self

[@chloeelizabeth7912]

The epilogue broke me... the tears were flowin'

[@alanismorales8057]

I just finished reading the book and I am hysterically crying so I NEEDED to watch this video! I needed someone who understands my feelings! GOD I was sobbing during the Epilogue! I couldn't handle Tessa explaining how she felt when Will died! It killed me

[@anniehowell6266]

when will and jem said goodbye before he went after tessa i found that so emotional and the last goodbyes. such an amazing story

[@michelleli3373]

I SAW THOSE TWO LINES IN THE BOOK WHEN CECILY AND GABRIEL LET OUT BREATHS THEY DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE HOLDING! I remember cuz I saw that Q&A about your pet peeve. And my first reaction when I saw the two lines was THEY ARE MEANT FOR EACH OTHER!!! My favorite part: the prison cell scene with Tessa and Will and the fact that Magnus walked in!! Just saying, I didn't like Jem very much before because he interfered with my OTP Wessa, but in this book he redeemed himself. Entirely! And Jessamine too! I cried and laughed and fell in love with so many of Cassandra Clare's characters and I love that! I love it when an author can make me feel real emotions and actually light up my day and make me cry. It's beautiful and I love all of Cassie's books! The epilogue tho.....I was crying and then I dried my tears and came back. And cried some more and I was crying and laughing at the same time! oh......so many feels. Can NOT wait for Lady Midnight at all. I got spoiled for this book by my friend and because I read CoHF before this.....I'm so late.

[@baileydavidson7734]

Oh my gosh, I think you're right about Ithuriel. :O But oh my gosh I sobbed throughout the entire epilogue, like that was so beautiful, and this is too accurate for life. FREAKING MAGNUS THOUGH. He grew on me so much, and I just ugh

[@Lukesimmer]

the first time i have ever loved a love triangle

[@Teaspoonblue]

this book literally killed me. will was my favourite character and it was so hard to read the epilogue when Tessa was remembering how he died and how her and jem spent the last moments with him looking back on his life

[@absenceofconfidence678]

When I saw that the epilogue was set in 2008, I immediately thought 'oh crap'. I finished the book with eyes blurry with tears and had to stop reading multiple times to wipe my eyes and blow my nose. Heartbreaking.

[@alana2924]

I FINISHED THE BOOK AND ONCE I FINISHED I PUT DOWN THE BOOK, PICKED UP MY PHONE AND WATCHED YOUR VIDEO!!! It was amazing, I was so emotional, especially when Jem was saying his goodbyes xc i couldnt take it. when will proposed to tessa a freaked out! it was so sweet.

[@ciarareynolds7967]

Never had a book made me more deeply sad and tremendously happy than this one

[@julesgross8960]

I accidentally read the Mortal Instruments before the Infernal Devices (I didn't know it existed) so I knew what happened to Jem and to Will and I knew what Tessa was, but even though I knew he died, I let myself get too attached to will and I was sobbing when he died.

[@holliebrace1176]

I did the same as you but I forgot what happened in the Mortal Instruments, so luckily it all came as a surprise.

[@mthatasophia6739]

I loved every single part about will and jem

[@giselaromancini]

here I am watching this again in 2021. Can't believe that it has been that long that I read this book

[@straybundles]

when the Clockwork Angel made this star scar on Will I was like "WHAT OMG OMG" and started to jump on my bed and cry

[@xVietbabe330x]

And the cliffhanger within the epilogue omfg I literally screamed I'm thinking the same way you are too Christine. I just cried so much with this book than I have for any book in a long time. Cassie does the best job at making everything fit and I literally am dying for all her other books. I want to know what this TLH series is about too...

[@fancyasreads]

"The Chamber of Secrets have now been open" HAHAHAH , I cracked up there 😂

[@audreyatkins1192]

"Tessa and Jem could be characters in the dark artifices now!" "THEY COULD HAVE KIDS" yes christine you are psychic im shook

[@CubyCandy]

The scene where Will and Tessa were in the cell together... at the end of the chapter she explained her Clockwork Angel was lying atop of the left side of Will's collarbone and when she sat up and pulled it away, it left a mark. "no bigger than a shilling, in the shape of a pale white star." Holy crap that got me thinking.

[@nadializetharaiza3099]

when i read that part it reminded me of when Jace's grandma (i forgot her name) gave up her life instead of Jace dying when she saw a mark on his collarbone in City of Ashes, because later in City of Glass Jace finds out he is a Herondale and thats why his grandma died for him because only Herondales have that mark because they were touched by an angel, meaning Tessa's clockwork angel :)

[@lucyverona7590]

I love it how you always dress or wear your make up so that it suits the book!

[@laurenhose8117]

I JUST FINISHED THE BOOK AND CAME HERE AND OH MY GOD WILL NO, WILL NO STAY I LITERALLY THOUGHT THAT SOMEHOW WILL WOULD BECOME IMMORTAL WITH TESSA BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I'M DYIING

[@navik.goraya942]

Just thinking about the epilogue makes me want to sob. NO BOOK HAS EVER CAUSED ME THIS MUCH EMOTIONAL TURMOIL

[@gbnas]

My heart was absolutely killed and ripped apart with this book, and I started crying watching this review feeling the nostalgia

[@chelsea_1395]

That Friends part though! "I got off the plane." THE FEELS ARE REAL!!!! Can't believe it's over. I just finished the book today. I loved Cecily and Gabriel ( sorry if I misspelled their names)l. They was so CUTE!!!
