Life of Bry

Welcome back to my William Herondale apology letter!

If you haven’t read Part 1, check that out to catch up on my full apology to Will, my love for baby boy Jem and the sweet relationship these two share. In this second post, I’ll dig deeper into Magnus Bane’s ever-growing involvement with handsome Shadowhunters, the betrayals of key characters and the love triangle that ripped my heart straight out of my chest.

Here are the rest of my thoughts on Clockwork Prince.

Magnus Bane’s Home for Wayward Shadowhunters

It was very interesting to see more of Magnus Bane before his stint as the High Warlock of Brooklyn. While Magnus consistently insists that the Nephilim’s problems are none of his concern, he regularly ends up aiding in their personal and collective battles. In Clockwork Angel, Magnus assists Will and Tessa at de Quincey’s party because of his connection to Camille Belcourt and his self-preservation instinct to stay in the Shadowhunters’ good graces.

However, Camille is MIA and the Nephilim aren’t in need of a warlock to serve in their search for Mortmain, but Magnus still finds himself as the lead detective in the hunt for William Herondale’s own personal demon. 

Yes, we already know that warlocks make good money by doing the biddings of Shadowhunters, but I like to think he didn’t just help Wil because of the moola. After all, black hair and blue eyes is his favorite combination. I’m joking … kind of. 

It is interesting though to wonder why exactly Magnus would mix himself up with the one Shadowhunter most likely to drag him into trouble. Perhaps it has something to do with what Jocelyn Fairchild once said about being drawn to what is beautiful and broken. 

“‘He’s very broken. Like a lovely vase that someone has smashed. Only luck and skill can put it back together the way it was before.’

‘Or magic.’”

Magnus Bane & Woolsey Scott, Page 417

Or maybe Magnus finds himself fascinated with Will because he strays away from the status quo of most Shadowhunters. There’s a few instances throughout Clockwork Prince where Magnus seemingly reminds Will about the ideologies and mindset of Nephilim, almost as if the warlock is more versed in how a Shadowhunter should think. 

When Will wants Magnus to send him to the demon realm to track down the monster who cursed him, the warlock reminds the young boy that he was born to save the world at the expense of his own feelings. 

“‘You are in love and you think that is all there is in the world. But the world is bigger than you, Will, and may have need of you. You are a Shadowhunter. You serve a greater cause. Your life is not yours to throw away.’

‘Then nothing is mine. If I don’t even own my own life —’ 

‘Who ever said we were owed happiness? What about what we owe to others?’

‘I’ve given them everything I have already.’”

Magnus & Will, Page 161

Despite an up-and-down relationship, Magnus regularly looks after Will. He’s the one who interrupts Will and Tessa making out on the balcony and zaps them to safety before being discovered at Benedict Lightwood’s masquerade ball. Then, the warlock sends Tessa a letter warning her that Will’s absence may not be his typical runabout after Magnus denied the boy’s request to be sent to the demon realm. 

Will unknowingly helped Magnus, as well. See, Will isn’t the only one with relationship troubles. When Camille finally returns home, Magnus confronts her about her running off to Russia to canoodle with a human lover. Her response?

“‘You and I, Magnus, who endure forever, love in such a manner as cannot be conceived of by mortals — a dark constant flame to their brief, sputtering light. What do they matter to you? Fidelity is a human concept, based upon the idea that we are here but for a short time. You cannot demand my faithfulness for eternity.’

‘How foolish of me. I thought I could. I thought I could at least expect you not to lie to me.’’

Camille & Magnus, Page 322

Camille knows that Magnus will be faithful to her and always be waiting at home while she has flings around the globe. She’s playing games with him and testing how loyal he is to her. She essentially treats him like one of her human subjugates. 

I think Magnus saw how deeply passionate Will was to fight for love, and it made him brave enough to stand up to Camille. He did lie a bit. Magnus professes that he and Will are now a thing, kisses the healing-magic dazed Shadowhunter to prove their love and saunters out of Camille’s home and life (for the time being). 

For this, Magnus believed he owed Will a debt, which he paid up by summoning Marbas for free. Though, I do believe Magnus may have had a bit of a crush on Will, as well, which may have aided in his willingness to help the stubborn young Shadowhunter.

“It is always better to live the truth than to live a lie. And that lie would have kept him alone forever. He may have had nearly nothing for five years, but now he can have everything. A boy who looks like that … Though he had already given his heart away. Perhaps it is for the best. What he needs now is to love and have that love returned.” 

Magnus, Page 417

It’s so fun to see Magnus as this ever-present figurehead in the Shadow World. No matter the century, Magnus is there to deliver wisdom to angsty teen Shadowhunters. It’s the perfect way to connect all of these stories together despite the massive jump back in time. Plus, the friendship that Magnus forms with Will is phenomenal and leads to some questions.

I wonder if Will is the first time Magnus felt compelled to help a Shadowhunter for a personal mission with no payment or if he always had a soft spot for Nephilim. Both Woolsey Scott and Camille are surprised that Magnus was in close cahoots with Will, so I want to believe that this Herondale boy began the change of heart for Magnus toward Shadowhunters. This would explain why Magnus would be so taken aback by Alexander Lightwood over a hundred years later. Alec is another black hair, blue-eyed Shadowhunter desperate to be loved for who he truly is. 

“‘You cannot save every fallen bird. Even the handsome ones.’

‘One will do.’”

Woolsey & Magnus, Page 418

Oh, Magnus. Little do you know, your immortal life will be full of saving angsty fallen angels …

The Only Love Triangle I’ll Allow

Love triangles have to be the single most-hated book trope in history. Most of the time both suitors are absolutely horrid choices or there’s one option that’s clearly better than the other. 

Just take a look at the two biggest love triangles of this century. In Twilight, Bella Swan had to choose between a possessive, creepy vampire, who snuck into her bedroom to watch her sleep even before they were dating, and a manipulative teen werewolf with anger problems and no concern for consent. In The Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen is caught between Gale, the boy she grew up with who puts the mission of overthrowing the Capital above protecting  innocent lives, and Peeta, the boy who consistently risked his life to ensure her safety in a fight to the death. 

Sure, these were cool when I was 12 in 2009, but they both make me cringe and roll my eyes now. They’re bland, boring and take away from the plot. 

The love triangle between Jem, Tessa and Will in The Infernal Devices, is none of those things.

This trio and the deep-seated love they share for each other hurt my heart in a way that I can’t even describe. It legit pained me to read parts of Clockwork Prince because of how soul crushing they were. This isn’t a typical love triangle where the girl is stuck between two boys who hate each other’s guts. Just as Will and Jem each love Tessa individually, they love and care for one another as well. Meanwhile, Tessa is considering the possibility of breaking her heart in two because of how much she cares for both boys.

“In that moment she had wanted nothing but Will. Had felt nothing but Will. Yet just the night before she had touched and kissed Jem; she had felt that she loved him; she had let him see her as no one had ever seen her before … Could you really love two different people at once? Could you split your heart in half?”

Tessa, Page 311

These are two very different boys with quite contrasting ways of expressing love. 

Jem always wore his heart on his sleeve. He frequently commented on how he thought Tessa was beautiful, he toured her around London to make her feel more at home in the foreign city, and he always had encouraging words to comfort her when she felt other. Unlike Will, Jem was never afraid to show his love to Tessa. Perhaps Jem was afraid of how forward he came off with his affections and that Tessa would not return them but not of the love itself. 

The perfect example is when Tessa and Jem got a little too spicy one night, making out in his room until his box of yin fen falls and the mood is killed. Tessa spent the next couple days confused and embarrassed, thinking that Jem felt remorseful of the experience. 

“‘I fear that you think that I regret that night. I do not. I only regret it came too soon. I — I would have wanted to — to court you first. To take you driving, with a chaperon … To tell you of my feelings first, before I showed them. To write poetry for you —‘

‘You don’t even like poetry.’

‘No. But you make me want to write it.’”

Jem & Tessa, Page 349

Like, come on! How sweet is that? Even when Tessa is slipping in and out of unconsciousness after the battle against Nate, Jem is at her bedside confessing his love when he thinks Tessa can’t hear.

“I’ve never minded it. Being lost, that is. I had always thought one could not be truly lost if one knew one’s own heart. But I fear I may be lost without knowing yours.”

Jem to Tessa, Page 402

What Tessa and Jem share is that beautiful, innocent love that makes you blush and say things you otherwise wouldn’t without even thinking. It’s a little awkward and even a bit unsettling as these two fumble around trying to make sense of these feelings. It’s the love that makes you absolutely giddy.

It honestly reminded me of when I met my now-husband when we were 16. I loved him so much from the very beginning that my stomach ached because I was so nervous to do something weird that would drive him away. Turns out he liked my weirdness. That’s my message to all my readers, find a significant other who watches you cry over fictional characters and still asks you to marry them. 

This slow-building love that was quickened by the questionable length of Jem’s life comes to a head with the purest, gentlest proposal. 

“I can offer you my life, but it is a short life; I can offer you my heart, though I have no idea how many more beats it shall sustain. But I love you enough to hope that you will not care that I am being selfish in trying to make the rest of my life — whatever it’s length — happy, by spending it with you.”

Jem to Tessa, Page 434

At first, Tessa believed Jem was only proposing to protect her in the case that Charlotte lost the Institute, but she quickly realized his intentions were nothing but true and pure … as they always were. Her acceptance and Jem’s response of burying his face in Tessa’s lap out of pure joy and relief is absolutely endearing. It’s pure, simple love.

“She felt as if someone had reached inside her chest and unlocked a box that held her heart, spilling tenderness like new blood through her veins. Never had she felt such an overwhelming urge to fiercely protect another person, to wrap her arms around someone else and curl up tightly with them, alone and away from the rest of the world.”

Tessa, Page 435

Like I said before, it’s a love that makes you unbelievably happy. Now onto Will’s declaration of love that tore me to pieces. 

While Jem seemingly had nothing to lose in his feelings for Tessa, Will had everything to lose. He thought loving her and having those feelings reciprocated would cost Tessa her life, so he spent the majority of his time either avoiding her entirely or making cruel comments that ripped her apart. He does slip up just enough to confuse the hell out of her though. 

However, when he is finally able to profess his love to Tessa, it’s the sloppy word vomit of a man who spent five years depriving himself of affection.

“‘I didn’t save your life so you’d be grateful!’

‘You did it because it’s your mandate? Because the Law says —‘

‘I did it because I love you! I love you Tessa, and I have loved you, almost since the moment I met you.’”

Will to Tessa, Page 467

Cassie sunk a dagger straight into my heart at that point and began twisting it as Will continued to spout his hope to be loved in return and devotion to earn that love. The blade only sank deeper as Tessa tried her best to get Will to shut up long enough for her to tell him that Jem already proposed, but he had too much to get off his chest to stop.

“You and I, Tess, we’re alike. We live and breathe words. It was books that kept me from taking my own life after I thought I could never love anyone, never be loved by anyone again. It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them. Reading your words, what you wrote, how you were lonely sometimes and afraid, but always brave; the way you saw the world, its colors and textures and sounds, I felt-I felt the way you thought, hoped, felt, dreamed. I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling with you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted-and then I realized that truly I just wanted you. The girl behind the scrawled letters. I loved you from the moment I read them. I love you still.”

Will to Tessa, Page 471

While Jem’s proposal was that of a man full of kindness, admiration and tenderness; Will’s proclamation was desperate, hopeful and even a bit painful. Where Jem couldn’t believe that Tessa would love him in return, it felt like Will couldn’t accept or risk the possibility that Tessa may not have felt the same as he did.

The love between Will and Tessa is passionate, unsteady and fierce. It’s a love story that began with kisses and cruelty that ripped both parties to shreds, though neither could fully admit it. It’s a love that burns so hot that somebody is bound to get hurt. 

In the end, they both get hurt. Who knew the three little words, “it’s too late” could carry so much pain?

Will was extremely surprised that Jem had feelings for Tessa, especially those so strong that they warranted an offer of marriage. He claimed that Jem said nothing of his emotions or plans to him, but is that the truth? Did Jem not tell Will he cared about Tessa because he knew Will also had feelings? Or did Jem hint toward his intentions, but Will wasn’t listening?

At first, Will was desperate to have Tessa call off the wedding with Jem. Of course, kind, sweet Jem would understand the fiery love between the two of them couldn’t be tamed. But neither Tessa nor Will could bear the thought of breaking the heart of the boy they both loved so deeply. A part of me also thinks that Tessa wasn’t completely sold on Will because his previous actions still hurt despite knowing of his curse. You can’t shed how much hurt he caused that quickly. 

“Then, if you love him, please, Tessa, don’t tell him what I just told you. Don’t tell him that I love you.”

Will, Page 475

Ouch. 

As much as Will doesn’t wish to hurt Jem, Tessa can’t bear the thought of separating these two brothers by confessing that she loves them both. Instead, she doesn’t tell Will that she loves him as he does her. She can’t give Will hope or he may try to convince Jem to end the engagement and leave a bitterness between the two boys.

This is the part that had me sobbing. As Will exits the room, all Tessa wants to do is cry, but she spent so much energy holding back tears that her body could no longer remember how. In an attempt to feel something and to force herself to cry, Tessa wraps her hand around a hot fire poker.

“When Sophie came dashing in, having heard her scream, she found Tessa on her knees by the fire, her burned hand pressed to her chest, sobbing as if her heart would break.”

Page 477

 I’ve been in that space where all you want to do is feel something physical to account for the emotional turmoil that can’t be seen, but your body refuses to process anything but the hollow numbness in your chest. It’s a darkness that I wouldn’t wish on my own enemy.

This scene is real, it’s dramatic, it’s poetic and it’s absolutely crushing. I loved it. 

The final reason I accept this love triangle and no other is that William harbored no ill-will toward his parabatai for proposing to the girl he loved so desperately. He has his moment of believing he could ask Jem to end the engagement, but then he sets his own feelings aside when he sees for himself just how happy Tessa makes his brother.

“Tessa had been right, he thought. He had wanted her to break things off with Jem, whatever the cost; now he realized he did not, could not. You might at least believe I know honor—honor, and debt, he had said to Jem, and he had meant it. He owed Jem his life. He could not take from him the one thing Jem wanted more than anything else. Even if it meant Will’s own happiness, for Jem was not only someone to whom he owed a debt that could never be repaid, but, as the covenant said, someone he loved as he loved his own soul.”

Will, Page 484

When Jem announces to their Institute family that he and Tessa are engaged, it’s Will who breaks the awkward silence to bring about the celebration.

“I do not know two finer people and could not imagine better news. May your lives together be happy and long. Congratulations, brother.”

Will to Jem & Tessa, Page 498

It may not have dawned on either Tessa or Jem until that moment that their engagement would be taboo due to their age and Tessa technically being at least a partial Downworlder, but Will was ready to ensure that his parabatai’s happiness was not crushed by society’s expectations.

My heart isn’t ready for the pain Clockwork Princess is bound to deliver, but I’m also extremely excited to see how these three manage with all these emotions running amuck. I can’t imagine how Will can be OK despite his determination to create an image that says just that. Though his sister showing up at the Institute may be enough of a distraction to help him not self-destruct. Also, if Jem finds out that Will loves Tessa, I can see him making the sacrifice to allow his parabatai that happiness. 

Where other love triangles are typically two boys fighting for the love of one girl, I think this will end up being Will and Jem arguing for the other to marry Tessa because they want their parabatai to be happy. 

I do sort of know where this story ends up going because I already read all of The Mortal Instruments, but I’m enjoying the journey way more than I expected. Knowing what I know about the end of TMI doesn’t make the heartache of TID any less painful.

Side note! I can’t help but think that Tessa hiding her feelings for Will is extremely unfair to Jem. Isn’t it cruel to go forward with marrying Jem when she’s also desperately in love with Will? I don’t doubt that she loves Jem equally as much, but I do think she needs to be honest with him. He deserves to know and make a decision for himself if he’s comfortable with the situation. 

I hate how both Will and Tessa often act as if Jem is made of glass both physically and mentally. He may be sick, but he’s stronger than these two let on. They can’t protect him from everything. Sooner or later their secrets are going to hurt him more than if they told him the truth right from the start.

Betrothed & Betrayed

No fantasy adventure is complete without some good betrayals. In Clockwork Prince, readers see betrayal in quite a few ways. Jessamine turns out to be a mole for Nate, Benedict is deep in the Pandemonium Club because Mortmain’s supplying him a life-sustaining drug, and Gideon Lightwood turns on his father in the spirit of the Law and maybe due to his adoration of Sophie. 

First up is Jessie. Her betrayal of the Shadowhunters of the London Institute was possibly the most shocking. While she was always desperate to leave her life as a Shadowhunter behind, she also seemed harmless. I guess her need to escape was greater than her love for those who took her in when her parents were killed. 

Since the events of Clockwork Angel, Jessie’s been sneaking out late at night dressed in men’s clothes to meet Nate. She exchanges information about the Shadowhunters’ plans to find Mortmain for Nate’s hand in marriage. He promises her that once he’s made enough money from Mortmain, they will run off together and live happily ever after. So much for that one.

Professional badass Sophie finds the invitation to a party from Nate and proceeds to knock out Jessie using a mirror. It’s absolutely perfect. Even Will is impressed. This allows Will and Tessa to confirm Jessie’s connection to Nate and discover Benedict’s involvement with Mortmain. Of course, upon being outed, Jessie immediately throws herself a pity party. 

“He proposed the second time we met. He said he knew there would never be another woman for him. And he promised me that once he had enough money, I would have just the life I had always wanted, that we would never worry about money, and that there would be ch-children.”

Jessamine, Page 318

Charlotte didn’t fall for Jessie’s crocodile tears. She stood her ground, questioning Jessamine with the Mortal Sword and ignoring the girl’s wails. It had to be so heartbreaking for Charlotte to be so cold and cruel to the girl she practically raised. It’s so sad that Charlotte has given everything for these children with nowhere else to go and no one else to turn to, but she receives so little in return from them in terms of gratitude and affection. 

I also think that Charlotte hasn’t exactly given these kids any much-needed tough love. She’s coddled these children since they arrived at the Institute, because they all were so broken. She gave them endless love and care, but, based on what we know, she never seemed too strict with them. Will’s known to leave for days on end with no word of his whereabouts and Jessie’s been avoiding her training for years despite Charlotte encouraging her to own her Shadowhunter blood. Now Charlotte’s facing the consequences.

As much as I want to dislike Jessamine, I honestly just feel sorry for her. She’s so naive, incredibly desperate and just overall sad. I can’t hate her. She never wanted to be a Shadowhunter. Her parents left the Clave to ensure she could lead a normal life and that was taken from her when their home burned down. While she didn’t have to make everyone miserable around her and work with the enemy to plan her escape, I understand why she’d be so jaded. That jadedness led to her being an easy target for Nate’s manipulation.

In her mind, she is doing what she has to in the name of love. When Jem and Tessa visit Jessie in the Silent City, she says just as much, pointing out that Jem should know what one would do for love since he’s fallen for Tessa.

“‘I haven’t betrayed the Institute for Tessa. I haven’t lied to and endangered those who have cared for me since I was orphaned.’

‘If you wouldn’t, you don’t really love her.’

‘If she asked me to, I would know she did not really love me.’”

Jem & Jessamine, Page 354

Jem and Tessa also explain that loving someone means forgiveness. So, if Nate truly loved her, he would forgive her for disclosing his secrets to save herself. Got ‘em. Jessie gets a bit of redemption by writing the letter to Nate to lead him to the Shadowhunters; however, I still felt that she did  it out of self preservation and not a genuine want to aid her fellow Nephilim. 

Bottom line: I hope that Jessamine reaps the hard consequences of her actions. Being dumb and naive doesn’t get you a pass on the repercussions of being a traitor. 

I’m going to lump Gideon and Benedict Lightwood together, because their betrayals coincide with each other. Benedict betrays the Clave by aligning himself with Mortmain in exchange for medicine that prolonged his life from the ill effects of demon pox. Then, Gideon betrays his father by telling Sophie about Benedict’s condition and his father’s sketchy dealings.

We already knew Benedict was sleazy. He gave off that energy of a man pointing fingers to prevent anybody from looking at himself. However, I was surprised that Gideon turned on his father to do what was right. 

“Ever since you called me back from Spain, I have been thinking. As a child I assumed all Shadowhunters lived as we did. Condemning demons by the light of day, yet fraternizing with them under cover of darkness. I now realize that is not true. It is not our way, Father; it is your way. You have brought shame and filth upon the name of Lightwood.”

Gideon to Benedict, Page 459

Gideon hands his father his Lightwood ring and leaves his family home behind for a place at the Institute. That one had to hurt Benedict. Of course, Gabriel defies his brother and stays behind. I get that he’s the baby of the family and he feels a need to look after his father, but Benedict is a dirtbag and Gabriel has to come to his senses eventually. 

I don’t really feel one way or the other about Gideon. I’m proud of him for doing what’s right and I appreciate his sense of humor for his uptight brother, but I’m simply not invested in his character.  Maybe that will change in Clockwork Princess? Also, what’s the fun in always following the Law? Sometimes you gotta bend the Law, baby.

That’s really all I have to say about betrayal. 

Side note! We do learn more about who/what Tessa is. Nate tells Tessa that he isn’t her brother after all. He is actually the son of their Aunt Harriet who raised them. Tessa’s mother pretended that Nate was her son because her sister had the boy out of wedlock. This shocker leads to an even bigger surprise that nobody believes is true. While holding the Mortal Sword, Jessamine says that Tessa’s father was a demon and her mother was a Shadowhunter. This should be impossible. If Tessa’s mother was a Shadowhunter, then her Aunt Harriet would’ve been a Shadowhunter, as well. That would make Nate a Shadowhunter, and he definitely isn’t. Also, there’s no record of any half-demon, half-Shadowhunter babies surviving. Did Nate lie to Jessie about Tessa’s origins or is he telling the truth?

Final Thoughts

I don’t think I’ve ever had a book turn my opinion on a series so decisively. After Clockwork Angel, I was determined to die on the hill of TID being overhyped and overrated. However, Clockwork Prince was beautiful and encapsulating. 

Personally, I prefer books that leave me broken. Happy endings are simply not my jam. This did not disappoint. Clockwork Prince left me sobbing and clutching my paperback close to my chest as if I could burn its words onto my heart. 

I was planning on giving this book a perfect five stars, but I realized after finishing it that we didn’t really advance any further in the search for Axel Mortmain. Instead, our group of heroes took a few steps back. Nate was Mortmain’s right-hand man and the one person who could give the Shadowhunters valuable information, but he’s now dead. Benedict Lightwood defied Mortmain to keep his demon pox a secret from the Clave, so now he’s also pretty useless. Plus, the demon pox is probably going to kill him, right? This all leaves our Shadowhunters with no idea of Mortmain’s whereabouts or what he plans to do next. As much as I adored exploring the love triangle between Will, Jem and Tessa, it’s disappointing to not see progress in other areas of the plot.

Perhaps Cassie is building up the mystery and suspense to make Mortmain feel more villainous than he is. Right now, all we know is that he’s possibly a warlock who’s bitter because he feels that Shadowhunters killed his wife unjustly. I think back on how complex and compelling of a villain Jonathan Morgenstern was in the second half of TMI, and can’t help but be a little disappointed in Mortmain as the bad guy. We don’t know much about him as a person, we don’t know what his plans are and we don’t know why he wants Tessa so badly. I’m bored with him.

This lack of information means that we’re going to get all of these answers in Clockwork Princess which worries me that the rest of the story will play out much too quickly. I love fast-paced books, but there is such a thing as too fast. I don’t want to have this journey rushed by an attempt to create mystery. 

I have a lot of hope and quite a few worries as I dive into the third and final installment of TID. I’m preparing my heart and soul for whatever Clockwork Princess has in store for me. I don’t think I’ll ever be ready.

Oh, my official rating is 4 stars out of 5. Near perfection.

Bonus Quotes
