***

I originally thought it was going to be nearly impossible to choose the book to watch this week because there were two books slated for release on March 19th that I was dying to read. But it seems that release date – or at least availability – for one of the two has changed to the week of March 26th.

And since WITH ALL MY SOUL by Rachel Vincent will now be available one week later, there is absolutely no question in my mind that CLOCKWORK PRINCESS by Cassandra Clare is the book to watch for the week of March 19, 2013.

As heartbreaking as it will be for this spinoff series to come to an end, I cannot wait to see just what happens in this final installment. After having very recently read the previous two The Mortal Instruments books, in which Will Herondale’s name was dropped on at least a few occasions, I have been more excited than ever to read this next, and final, book in The Infernal Devices series.

I cannot wait to learn what’s really going on with Tessa and find out what happens to her at the end of this series. I cannot wait to see just how things end with the love triangle. And I cannot wait to revisit this world which is so elaborate, so gorgeous and so easy to fall in love with.

The description only provides the most torturous of hints at what can be expected. The only word that keeps jumping out at me is “danger.” So, of course I’m anxious about what will happen to some of my most favorite characters in YA. I’m nervous about just who might have to be destroyed to save the world. And I’m most definitely not ready for this series to end.

Especially with more than a year before the next installment in the author’s other series will be released.

With not a single clue about what will happen in CLOCKWORK PRINCESS, I can only imagine that at nearly six hundred pages it will be epic. I can only guess that I will get so swept up in this world that I won’t be able to put this book down until I reach the end. And I can only hope that I won’t be left in tears over the loss of a favorite character. Though I’m pretty sure no matter how this series ends, I will be in tears.

While there are a few books releasing the week of March 19th that I’m excited to read, I just had to put the spotlight on CLOCKWORK PRINCESS, a book that I’ve been dying to read since I got the chance to read CLOCKWORK PRINCE just a bit early last year.

And while I will be reading this book the day it releases, I just know it will be terribly hard to say goodbye to Will and Jem and Tessa when the story, and series, comes to a close.

I haven’t yet read it… I’ve been way too nervous to actually start reading it… but I will be taking a peek at the first chapter of CLOCKWORK PRINCESS which was just “unlocked” today.

Goodreads description:

Danger intensifies for the Shadowhunters as the New York Times bestselling Infernal Devices trilogy comes to a close.

If the only way to save the world was to destroy what you loved most, would you do it?

The clock is ticking. Everyone must choose.

Passion. Power. Secrets. Enchantment.

Danger closes in around the Shadowhunters in the final installment of the bestselling Infernal Devices trilogy.
