It is always amazing to read, its just the wait in between is so long. I know for sure I will read the first 2 book at least twice before this one actually comes out.

I totally AGREE with your takes! :)
Clockwork Princess we really NEED YOU xD!
TEASERS!!!!!!!!Teaser 1
“Would you?” said Gabriel to Will, hotly. “If it was your family?” His lip curled. “Never mind. It’s not as if you know the meaning of loyalty —”
“Gabriel.” Gideon’s voice was a reprimand to his brother. “Do not speak to Will in that manner.”
Teaser 2
“He began it,” Cecily said, jerking her chin at Will, though she knew it was pointless. Jem, Will’s parabatai, treated her with the distant sweet kindness reserved for the little sisters of one’s friends, but he would always side with Will. Kindly, but firmly, he put Will above everything else in the world. Well, nearly everything.
Teaser 3
Jem knotted his fingers in the material of Will’s sleeve. “You are my parabatai,” he said. “You said once I could ask anything of you.
Teaser 4
Jem drew the bow back and let the arrow fly; it struck the creature in the side. The massive demon worm writhed in agony, undulating as it swept its great, blind head from side to side, uprooting shrubbery with its thrashings. Leaves filled the air and the boys choked on dust, Gideon backing up with his seraph blade in his hand, trying to see by its light.
“It’s coming toward us,” he said in a low voice.
And indeed it was, the arrow still protruding from its wet, grayish skin, humping its body along with incredible speed. A flick of its tail caught the edge of a statue, sending it flying into the dry ornamental pool, where it shattered into dust
By the Angel, it just crushed Sophocles,” noted Will. “Has no one respect for the classics these days?”
Teaser 5
And the gold of her ruined wedding dress
Teaser 6
“A very magnanimous statement, Gideon,” said Magnus.
“I’m Gabriel.”
Magnus waved a hand. “All Lightwoods look the same to me.”
Teaser 7
“You are not really dying,” Will said, the oddest tone to his voice, “are you?"
Teaser 8
Will rose slowly to his feet. He could not believe he was doing what he was doing, but it was clear that he was, clear as the silver rim around the black of Jem’s eyes. “If there is a life after this one,” he said, “let me meet you in it, James Carstairs.”
“There will be other lives.” Jem held his hand out, and for a moment, they clasped hands, as they had done during their parabatai ritual, reaching across twin rings of fire to interlace their fingers with each other. “The world is a wheel,” he said. “When we rise or fall, we do it together.”
Will tightened his grip on Jem’s hand, which felt thin as twigs in his. “Well, then,” he said, through a tight throat, “since you say there will be another life for me, let us both pray I do not make as colossal a mess of it as I have this one.”
Teaser 9
Tessa put a hand against the wall as she made her way numbly down the stairs. What had she almost done? What had she nearly told Will?
Teaser 10
Gideon touched her cheek, lightly, with the tips of his fingers. “Did you know your name means ‘wisdom’? It was very well-given.”
Teaser 11
Tessa craned her head back to look at Will. “You know that feeling,” she said, “when you are reading a book, and you know that it is going to be a tragedy; you can feel the cold and darkness coming, see the net drawing tight around the characters who live and breathe on the pages. But you are tied to the story as if being dragged behind a carriage and you cannot let go or turn the course aside.” His blue eyes were dark with understanding — of course Will would understand — and she hurried on. “I feel now as if the same is happening, only not to characters on a page but to my own beloved friends and companions. I do not want to sit by while tragedy comes for us. I would turn it aside, only I struggle to discover how that might be done.”
“You fear for Jem,” Will said.
“Yes,” she said. “And I fear for you, too.”
“No,” Will said, hoarsely. “Don’t waste that on me, Tess.”
I just... Gah! I need CP2 now!
Someone said on TESSA GRAY WIKI:
"'I think that Tessa's mom is Starkweathers granddaughter that was on the picture- the brown hair- and that she was switched when she was a baby similarly to the way that the fey had spoken to Tessa about at the party in Clockwork Prince, it would explain why the child had gone mad when she was marked and that Tessa's mom is a Shadowhunter AND why Starkweather likes Tessa so much and was surprised when she showed up in York and welcomed her into his home, when he was going to refuse!'"
I would have to agree with this. And on that website:
"'Curiously, Mortmain also says, "...your mother had no idea what she was, any more than you do." This may mean that Elizabeth Gray was a Shadowhunter that had been unknown to the Clave and also to herself, or in some other way carries angel blood. It rings of the later experiments of Valentine, infusing pregnant women with angel and demon blood. It seems unlikely that Tessa could be half-demon and yet carry no mark unless she is also part angel. It would also explain the clockwork angel necklace she inherited from her mother. However being half angel and half demon would make her fey which is also unlikely, but she can also be similar to Jonathan he too has demon blood and is still a shadowhunter. Fey are the direct offspring of angles and demons, so Tessa can't be fey. Mortmain says her mother was human. So she is probably half demon, a quarter angel, and a quarter human. It's the only thing that makes sense.'"
& more than likely I'm wrong in believing this but it really does make sense if you think about it...
