Here's the first one guys.....

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.�

I agree. But i can't help but wonder if he got the message! I would love for him to find out!!! Then he'll know she loves him back, and he wont be as heartbroken....

although it might make it worse because he'll know that they both love each other. he'll know that it could have been possible at some point, but it isnt now because they cant be together with Jem engaged and in love with her! and the fact that they would be together if circumstances were different but now they cant might kill him even more. It will be like having something just out of your reach....

AWWWWWWWW!!!!! D: poor will........... and tessa........ and jem (i guess).... GOD I CANT WAIT FOR THIS BOOK TO COME OUT I AM GETING MORE ANXIOUS BY THE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha I don't think it's your hunger because I have that same feeling and I'm not hungry. It's just...I don't know...I really want to know who said that.

Teaser three...

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.�

Teaser four...

Gideon and Sophie



Gideon touched her cheek, lightly, with the tips of his fingers. “Did you know your name means ‘wisdom�? It was very well-given.�

a tiny Jem snippet from Clockwork Princess.

“Wo wei ni xie de,� he said, as he raised the violin to his left shoulder, tucking it under his chin. He had told her many violinists used a shoulder rest, but he did not: there was a slight mark on the side of his throat, like a permanent bruise, where the violin rested. 

“You � made something for me?� Tessa asked.

“I wrote something for you,� he corrected, with a smile, and began to play.


Blujeanbooks96 (wwwgoodreadscomblujean_books96) | 41 comments aww I would pay to listen to Jem's music pieces be brought to life (so to speak). I think it would be beautiful.

message 32: by Ana (new)

Ana | 40 comments Aww it's cute that he wrote music for her.

But why doesn't Jem use a shoulder rest? It's almost like he's trying to impress her by telling her that most people do but he doesn't because he's tough

I took it as he loves to play like the instrument is a part of himself, not him showing off

I play the violin and I use a shoulder rest but my friend doesn't. Its not because she's trying to show off its just that she prefers not to use one. Jem probably prefers not using a shoulder rest. I doubt he's really trying to impress her that way and if he is I don't know if Tessa would really be that impressed because she doesn't play the violin...

Magnus and Will teaser

“If Jem dies, I cannot be with Tessa,� said Will. “Because it will be as if I were waiting for him to die, or took some joy in his death, if it let me have her. And I will not be that person. I will not profit from his death. So he must live.� He lowered his arm, his sleeve bloody. “It is the only way any of this can ever mean anything. Otherwise it is only —�

“Pointless, needless suffering and pain? I don’t suppose it would help if I told you that was the way life is. The good suffer, the evil flourish, and all that is mortal passes away,� Magnus said.

“I want more than that,� said Will. “You made me want more than that. You showed me I was only ever cursed because I had chosen to believe myself so. You told me there was possibility, meaning. And now you would turn your back on what you created.�

Ana | 40 comments Hannah wrote: "I took it as he loves to play like the instrument is a part of himself, not him showing off"


This makes sense since Jem clearly loves his violin, so he'd want to be closer to it when he is playing.

Erika wrote: "I play the violin and I use a shoulder rest but my friend doesn't. Its not because she's trying to show off its just that she prefers not to use one. Jem probably prefers not using a shoulder rest...."

The fact that he's bruised/marked from it indicates how not using a shoulder rest probably hurts him or causes him some discomfort. I think Jem chooses not to use it because he wants to live like a normal person and not be someone that has things made easier for him just because of his weakened state and he would hate Tessa to pity him. It's clear that Jem is very strong willed, he doesn't like depending on things for instance he doesn't want Tessa's help in picking up the Yin Fen, he loathes his addiction and takes as little as possible of the drug prefering an uncomfortable longer life rather than a shorter pain free one.

He's not "showing off" because that would imply that he's vain, which Jem definitely is not. Rather, I think he's showing her that he is just like everyone else.

You make a good point but even with a shoulder rest a violin isn't the most comfortable thing in the world.

No it really isn't. But I reckon it's more about making a statement.

This teaser kind of confirms that Jem's death will not result in Tessa and Will getting together. I've read alot of people's comments wishing (rather cruelly) that Jem would die so Tessa can be with Will, hopefully now they can see that Jem's death will only drive them further apart.

Also, I feel quite uneasy about the part where Magnus says "all that is mortal passes away,� and Will replies with "I want more than that"..makes me think that maybe he wants to be more than a mortal...or maybe it just means that Will won't accept defeat so easily.

Your comment about Will wanting to be more than mortal makes me think he may be brother Z. I know there is a lot of speculation and guessing if Jem or Will is brother Z....


message 45: by (Aero)driguez (new)

(Aero)driguez (aerodriguez) I kinda sorta think its Will.


Blujeanbooks96 (wwwgoodreadscomblujean_books96) | 41 comments I think that maybe he doesn't use a shoulder rest to feel closer to the violin or maybe just the simple reason he doesn't need to


message 47: by (Aero)driguez (new)

(Aero)driguez (aerodriguez) I honestly don't know. I have no expeirnce w/ violins

Yer magnus's comment dos make it sound like will is brother Z but I still don't know!! I think cassies deliberately posted that teaser to getting everyone guessing again

Yeah I definitely think Cassie is leading us to think certain things so that we're extra shocked when we actually read the book.

I reckon when Will says "If Jem dies I can't be with Tessa.." it implies that maybe if Jem lives Will can be!? I don't know :s but I love how we're analysing these teasers :D


message 50: by (Aero)driguez (new)

(Aero)driguez (aerodriguez) I rlly want Jem to live. (I am team Will tho) I want him to live because I don't think Will will be w/ Tessa if Jem dies.
