Saying Goodbye to The Infernal Devices

It's hard to believe that Clockwork Princess, the final book in one of our favorite series, The Infernal Devices, will be released tomorrow. We're both still in a bit of denial that the story of the Victorian-era Shadowhunters is coming to a close, not that we aren't beside ourselves with excitement to read the book.

Like the nerds we are, we wanted to do something special for the occasion. We tweaked the blog background to give it a bit of a steampunk theme. We've also planned some TID-related posts for this week:

  • Tuesday, March 19: We love speculating on what's going to happen in books, especially this series. We'll be discussing some of our Clockwork Princess theories here.
  • Wednesday, March 20: Lee fangirls about Will Herondale for a while.
  • Thursday, March 21: Ally fangirls about Jem Carstairs for a while.
  • Friday, March 22: Lee's review of Clockwork Angel. (I first read this almost two years ago, before I ever even heard of Goodreads. I reread both this and Clockwork Prince last week and can finally post reviews of both books! And you can already read Melissa's review of Clockwork Angel.)
  • Sunday, March 24: Lee's review of Clockwork Prince.

We hope to have our reviews of Clockwork Princess up as soon as we can. Ally starts spring break from school on Friday, and we already have a marathon read-along planned starting then. If you're a fellow fan of the series, we expect you'll be spending a good deal of time reading in the next few days, too.

  1. Oh no, it's already ending!
    I need to start reading this series because I haven't even read one book from it.

    1. It's an amazing series! On the bright side, at least all the books will be available when you decide to read it. I hope you enjoy it!

  2. Oh how fun does this sound!! I wish I'd read book 1 & 2 already so I could join in on the anticipation & fully appreciate the discussions and all that. I have a feeling the boys in this series are going to be something else :) Miss Clare can certainly make swoon-worthy boys & adding the Victorian/Steampunk element to that sounds fun! Anyways ENJOY the build-up & the speculation, the re-reads but especially BOOK 3 - I hope it's a brilliant ending!!!

    1. Will and Jem are absolutely two of our favorite swoon-worthy boys. Please let us know what you think of the series when you do read it! We seriously never get tired of discussing it!

  3. I'll be right here with you girls! I love this series (and Will) so much, it's going to be hard to see it end. :(

    Is your new header paying homage to it? I like it!! And, why do your ducks look so mad? ;)

    1. Yes, we wanted to do a little TID tribute with the blog design. The ducks are menacing Will, undoubtedly because he did something to provoke them first. :-)

    2. Totally forgot the Hyde Park ducks ~ too funny!

    1. Having reread the first two TID books recently, I have to say that I love this series a lot more than TMI, too. I don't think anybody is ready to say goodbye to it yet- most definitely not us!
