I find myself wanting to interact with people but not having anything I want to say. Nothing's really going on, but I don't think that's all it is. I kept a journal while I was in Japan, but I got less and less interested in writing in it, even when lots of things were happening. I still kept up with it, but I don't know how to describe or explain that mood.

On Tuesday, I finally bought Clockwork Prince. I really enjoyed it, so I decided to just list out things I really liked about it (in no particular order). Spoilers follow.

1. Brilliant banter and witty remarks abound
2. Backstory! Lots of backstory, including character background
3. info on parabatai
4. info on shadowhunter marriage practices (okay, the world-building in this book in general)
5. Jem/Will Jem/Will forever Jem/Will (I'm still holding out for Jem/Will/Tessa. I will forever hold out for it.) Calling what they have a great friendship or a bromance does not do it justice.
6. Hot making out scenes
7. It's not a party unless Magnus Bane is there
8. Magnus' comments on Tessa's fashion decisions
9. Magnus breaking up with Camille with a special guest appearance from drugged up Will
10. Drugged up Will
11. But not so good as giddy Will
12. DEMON POX
13. Woolsey Scott
14. Jessamine being very perceptive when it comes to matters of the heart (although not so much when she's directly involved)
15. Charlotte and Henry being ADORABLE. Favorite canon couple in the Infernal Devices so far.
16. Sophie/Gideon <3
17. Sophie being generally pretty awesome
18. Tessa's continued ability to use her special powers well even in life or death situations

So yeah, world-building, backstory, character development, interesting characters, lovely word choice, lovely wit, well developed and fairlyinteresting relationships. :>

Unrelated but awesome video of the post.
