Today's discussion is about: Chapter 3 - Unjustifiable Death
- What are your thoughts on Sophie? There's something about her in chapter 2 that made my heart break for her, as well as love her more than I previously had.
- Jem is seriously killing me, and in a good way. I've always adored him, but loved Will. There's something about Jem in Clockwork Prince that gives me a glimpse of what Tessa sees in him. What is about Jem that draws you to his character?
- So Gideon and Gabriel have arrived. What are your thoughts on their training Tessa?
- I loved the scene with Will and Tessa in the library. These two just need to kiss and to break their tension. What do you make of the quote from A Tale of Two Cities that Will recites? Do you think that it could possibly refer to how he's feeling and what's to come?

On page 52, Sophie totally thought Jem was
making fun if her saying "..it's always useful for a beautiful girl to be able
to fend off the unwanted attentions of gentlemen." And I think Jem meant it but
Sophie never thought of herself beautiful because of her scar. Sophie thinks
just because she is scared that she's unattractive but its not true. I know what
makes us more beautiful and ALL of the scars and flaws that make us who we are.
If a man can not truly accept you for all your flaws, he's just NOT THE ONE! Our
cars remind us that we've come along way and to not make the same mistake that
caused the scar in the first place. Our flaw is just proof that we are human and
we makes mistakes and millions more but that's who we are. I do love Sophie more
as well because in this chapter, her emotions are being shown/ acted out with
almost every mention of Sophie. Her character is seeping through the pages with
an "I'm NOT just a servant" kind of attitude.
Jem has that kindness to him that shines. Everything about him glows and there isn't dimness about it. He loves everyone and even Sophie adores him. He doesn't complain or use his weakness as an excuse. He tries just a hard and it doesn't take much effort for him to smile and earn yours right back. He doesn't speak out of turn and seems to ALWAYS have the right thing to say at the right time. He's like someone you can't say no to or not even try to get along with. He's attractive in every way and the only thing holding him back from a long prosper future is his illness. He's just lovable.
Gabriel is the one training Tessa and as she has explained, he's good at what he's doing. He's fairly patient, willing to pick up time after countless times of her dropping the sword and even praises her when she does something right.
The quote of "A Tale of Two Cities" is a perfect example of how Will is with Tessa. His feelings for her. "There is no future for Sydney, is there, with or without love? He knows he cannot save himself without Lucie, but to let her near him would be to degrade her." Will is pushing Tessa away with words. He's hinting her. Giving her clues of his feelings for her that seeping through his skin. He loves her and wants to be with her but because of the curse, he doesn't want to hurt her. And to the last paragraph on page 67 'it had been possible . . . That you could have returned the love of the man you see before yourself--flung away, wasted, drunken, poor creature of misuse as you know him to be--he would have been conscious this day to misery, bring your sorrow and repentance, blight you, disgrace you, pull you down with him--." Can she still accept him for all that's happen to him? Because he did her wrong, and he's so emotionally and mentally bruised that he doesn't know what to do anymore. He's tormented inside. It is like a hint to what's to come but also a pop of the bubble if.. (Can't spoil it!)
