One week from TODAY till Clockwork Princess is out! *sorry this is up so late. Blogger ate the original post that was posted earlier this morning*
Welcome to Day 21 of the Clockwork Prince Read Along. You can follow the entire read-a-long and find each of the day's posts here. Remember there's no right or wrong way to participate. Your comments can be as long or a short as you'd like them to be. You can answer 1 or each of the questions asked, it's totally up to you, BUT, in order to be entered into the CP giveaway (which you also had to sign up to win), you do need to be actively participating in the read-a-long.
Today's discussion is about: Chapter 20
Please DO NOT POST SPOILERS. There's some fans who are joining the read-a-long who are reading Clockwork Prince for the first time.
- Are you surprised about the turn of events that unfolded at Benedict's house? Do you think he's lying about Mortmain's whereabouts?
- What do you make of Gideon leaving his father and brother behind? Does his actions surprise you? I personally am happy to see that Gideon has gone to the institute. Knowing that his son knows what happened to their mother, do you think Benedict is more likely to back off on his claims to the Institute?
- Aw, WILL! This chapter seriously made my heart sigh and then ache for Will. FINALLY he says what he's truly been feeling to Tessa. He opens up like he's never done before, not even to Jem, and reveals so much about himself, and then tells her how much he loves her, and then has his heart broken. Are you surprised at how open Will was with Tessa?
- It's obvious Tessa loves Will too, just not as much as Jem. It seriously killed me the first few times I read this book when she didn't pick him, but for some reason this time around I really get why she choose Jem. Do you think being rejected by Tessa, and not being told of the engagement from Jem will push Will further away? Here he's thought he's been cursed all these years, and he finds out he hasn't been, and he's given hope and then everything he's hoped for is now impossible. How do you think Will is going to react about this over time?
