It's Day 11 of our 31 Days of Clockwork Prince and today I wanted to share a snippet of Clockwork Prince. This isn't like one of the teasers I've been posting, but it's one that showcases one of the things I love about Cassie's writing. She creates these vivid scenes that I can picture clearly in my mind as I read them. This memory of Will's is one that I love. It makes me yearn for this, as much as he does.
Even after years in London, rain made him think of home. He still remembered the way it had rained in the countryside, in Wales, the green fresh taste of it, the way it felt to roll over and over down a damp hillside, getting grass in your hair and clothes.......
Will wondered if you could ever really be a Londoner if you had that in your blood- the memory of great open spaces, the wideness of the sky, the clear air.
