Today's discussion is about: Chapter 15
- *sigh* There's something about this re-reading that really has me rooting for Tessa and Jem. On all my other read throughs I always hoped it would be Will, but this time I found myself smitten with Jem. I loved how Sophie tells Tessa about the way Jem watches her. I admire Sophie for her honesty with Tessa, and these two seem to become much closer in Clockwork Prince. Are you surprised to find that Tessa and Sophie have come friends who can confide in each other? If you're read CP before, are you finding your feelings towards Jem or Will have changed in any way with this read through?
- We know that Cassie doesn't just randomly insert quotes and poetry into her books without having a reason for them being there. Do you feel there's more to Bridget's ballads than just her horrid signing? I'm starting to suspect there's a reason for them being in Clockwork Prince, but maybe that's just me.
- Ooh Sophie & Gideon. I don't know about you, but I wanted to find out if he kissed her! Don't laugh, you know you wanted to know do. Are you surprised to find these two hidden together?
- I love how protective Will is of Jem, and how he tells him he will not let him die like that. I understand Jem's wanting to close the eyes of the werewolf who dies, because I think a small part of him sees himself as the werewolf, an addict. Do you think Mortmain's controlling the supply is another way of him to get to the Shadowhunters, knowing Jem needs this?
