Clockwork Prince- Cover...and an Excerpt!


Oh my God. This is a cover to die for.
I, as most people know, am the most incredible cynic when it comes to covers, mostly because I'm an artist myself. I find something they could have done better with every cover, but this is like....good, good God this is such a gorgeous cover.
Of course the guy on the cover has to be Jem (Who else has silver hair and that staff?) and I'm just so happy this might be a Jem book- not that I don't like Will, I am Team Will- but I love Jem too. Everything about this cover does such justice to the exoticity that Cassandra Clare brought to the character of Jem...he's so amazing in the first place, and the cover is gorgeous to the highest degree of praise. Now if the book would just release!!!


Okay, these is just the most interesting snippet from the book that Cassandra Clare gave out:


Will's voice dropped. “Everyone makes mistakes, Jem.”
“Yes,” said Jem. “You just make more of them than most people.”
“I —”
“You hurt everyone,” said Jem. “Everyone whose life you touch.”
“Not you,” Will whispered. “I hurt everyone but you. I never meant to hurt you.”
Jem put his hands up, pressing his palms against his eyes. “Will —”
“You can’t never forgive me,” Will said in disbelief, hearing the panic tinging his own voice. “I’d be —”
“Alone?” Jem lowered his hand, but he was smiling now, crookedly. “And whose fault is that?” 


OMG! What is this about? These guys fight?

    My guess is it's got something to do with the girl, but since it's been a year since I read the first book I couldn't tell you the name of said girl. However this looks really good.

    I am highly entertained by your perception of cover art. I like this one too ... its 3D sort of appeal.

    @ Jenn: Yeah, Tessa might be the cause...but knowing Cassandra Clare and her brilliance, I'd guess she most likely conjured up something amazing.
    @ Vamchoir: Lol. Covers and me have a grudging relationship. What a pretty cover this is, though.

    They're really good, all I can manage to do with photoshop is crop photos and fix minor photo issues. But then again I'm not all that artistic. :)

Do we really need a preface? Anyway, Feature and Follow is by Paranjunkee and Alison Can Read and is all about blog love. Q: Best Cover? What is the best cover of a book that you’ve read and didn’t like? A: Oh, easy peasy. Masque of Red Death by Bethany Griffin. I loved the cover, but I didn't like the book. I couldn't connect with any of the characters, and finally just abandoned it somewhere near the end. I don't even want to know how it ended, or if there is a new book in the series. It wasn't sucky writing or a sucky plot, it just completely failed to make any kind of impact on me. What are your picks? Leave your links, let's share some follower love :)

Ah, been a while since I did one of these. Anyway, as you all know, Feature and Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read , and is all about spreading some blogosphere love. The question for this week is: Q. Have You Ever Bought a Book Because of a Bad Review? A: Yes, I bought the Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare after one of my good friends read the book and trashed it so much that I just HAD to read it. Of course, her being a Harry Potter fan and fan-fiction writer was the main problem here: she had heard about the whole plagiarism fiasco and we had both read Cassandra's HP fanfic- the Draco Trilogy- and she thought the Mortal Instruments was basically a recycling of DT. Anyway, I read the book and sort of liked it: it was mindless fun if you ignored all the glamour-people and HP comparisons and glitter fizz. I liked Magnus Bane, at least. Leave your FF links :) Happy Follow Friday!

    So it's my very first Follow Friday blog-hop. Yaayy.  Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read , and this week's question is.....          Q: Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?   A. This one's easy.  Historical romance.  Give me anything with princes, princesses, marquises, swooning heroines, men in breeches, stories about evil twins and lost princes and inheritances and dowries...and I'll faint. But not before I barf.      Anything where women don't wear jeans or, in fact, anything above the knee, cannot stand up for themselves against abusive males (or do stand up and is branded a rebel, a wild-cat to be TAMED. UGH) and one look from a male melts off her kneecaps is a no-no for me. Put in castles and old English and nasty, unfleeable arranged marriages and I am dead. Bear in mind that I'm talking about those pink-and-yellow jacketed...
