** spoiler alert ** 
 I've just finished Clockwork Princess, and I'm feeling a little bit raw. I read about 60% in the last few days, and finished literally a moment ago. So that means I'm 100% emotion right now. 
 There are many spoilers in this, so if you haven't read this book or are just reading it now, don't continue unless you wish to have things ruined. 
 I've read a few reviews that said that the main characters acted out of character, and while they may have, I didn't really mind. I thought that Clare dealt with a love triangle in a different way - in allowing Tessa to actually end up with both Jem and Will in the end. Some people think that ending was a copout, and while it may be, I still find it fascinating. Just think, Jem watched his parabati and his fiance live a full and loving life, and still loved her so much that he returned to her a century later. He broke his vows, knowing that she wasn't all his, just to be with her because he was all hers. 
 I could go on. But I won't. It just breaks my heart. 
 I cried four (yes four!) times while reading this book. 
 1. When Jem and Will said goodbye, and Jem asked Will to rescue Tessa. 
 2. When Jem and Tessa said farewell, and agreed to meet once a year. 
 3. When Jem and Will spoke in the weapons room, because Jem couldn't go back without speaking to his parabati. 
 4. When Jem returned to Will on his deathbed, and it spoke of how Jem covered his face when he found out Will and Tessa named their first son after him, and when he played violin, and when Will died surrounded by his soul mates. 
 Everyone loves the other couplings, and I agree. Henry and Charlotte, Gideon and Sophie, and Cecy and Gabriel (although I wish there was a tad bit more on the two of them). 
 I also adored any part with Magnus. Although I did find that he wasn't quite the Magnus that we have seen in other installments of the series. I liked reading about how he aquired Churhc... I liked his banter with Will. But it just wasn't the Magnus that has developed into one of my favorite characters. I don't know. 
 Basically I'm an emotional mess and I can't write a decent review to save my life. It's just all emotion. Yeah, some of the book wasn't the best (I never want to read another letter in Clare's books again...seriously).But it was still good, and it redeemed any problems I had with the first two. 
 This makes me very excited for the final installment of The Mortal Instruments, as I can't wait to see what changed to allow Jem and Tessa to be together at the end.
