After reading clockwork prince I am torn between Will and Jem as to who Tessa should really be with. This NEVER happens to me I usually have a very strong opinion on these things but I just can decide how about the rest of you?

Jem.
Thats all I need to say.
Will doesn't deserve Tessa at all! So what if he's shockingly handsome? Thats not a reason to love someone! And neither is the lust that Tessa feels for him! Thats not love either.
People say that Tessa only agreed to James because he was sick and dying and she felt pity but she wasn't thinking of that when deciding to say yes or no, she genuinely loves him! And through to the end of the book its obvious that she did! And he loves her too!
If she didn't love him she would have kissed Will in the drawing room but she didn't! Because all she feels for Will is lust.
Thats my opinion and Jem is by far the better option.

Jem does deserve her but remember Will is only like he is cause he was worried that keeping people close will kill them. So that makes it hard for me to choose.
Well anyway its going to be awkward in the next book cause he knows hes not cursed.

Will. I'm probably biased because we have similar personalities, but I still think they would be a better couple than Jem and Tessa.

I loved Jem when I first read Clockwork Angel, and I'm sticking to him now. He's sweet and talented and there's just something so personal about him I can't resist. I never liked Will, and when I read Clockwork Prince, I'll admit that I felt a bit bad about why he was so arrogant and rude. But I still think James and Tessa deserve each other. There's something about Will that just doesn't sit right with me. But even with that said, I love him. I just love Jem more. I'm not saying Will is a horrible person, I just don't think he and Tessa belong together.
(Though I can't say I didn't love his song about Demon Pox ;D)

I've always liked Will. He's just got so much more charm and personality while Jem is kind of dulled down.. besides the one scene in Clockwork Prince, but that's only because he "snapped". I think both characters have interesting backgrounds, but my heart goes out to Will much more than Jem because he seems REAL in comparison to his parabatai.
Cassandra Clare has seriously done the impossible by creating a love triangle in which all the characters are good, loving people stuck in a rut. Neither Will nor Jem is the obvious choice or the bad guy, when you consider every detail of with they've been through.

Yes, neither of them are bad at all! I mean, what if Tessa never chooses between the two? Cassandra Clare said she's killing off main, beloved character in Clockwork Princess...I'm not saying it's going to be Tessa or Will or Jem, but it could be, you know? And with the topic of Will seeming more real, Kait, yes he had a daring attitude, but Jem had a personality to me, too. Not everyone has to be outrageous or spouting with some sort of trait that makes them different. I mean, that fact is what set Jem apart, really. He sticks out because he's so calm. He's a sweet, loving person who has come to terms to reality. I think he's just so calm all the time because he's realized that he can't change the past, and also because he needs to be there for Will. Where do you think Will would be now if Jem hadn't stayed calm through it all and showed a little sense? (Not saying that Will wasn't sensible, but you know how he is hahah) I do admire Will's sarcasm and he definitely has a big personality hahah. But everyone has reasons behind their actions. Just like Will had a reason for pushing people away, Jem has a reason for being so collected and mature. He doesn't have a bad sense of humor, though he's not a jokster like Will, he is a good sport when he hears jokes. I thought that his reacting to his sickness was really human and real of him. And it shows a lot of maturity. I don't know, this always happens with me and love triangles...I always end up liking the boy that came after the first. Simon, Gale, Jem.....I guess I just feel for them. And I usually like their personalities more than the other. But neither is, in no way, a bad person. So it's easy to see why Tessa is so torn. She loves Will, but didn't do anything about it because she didn't think he liked her at all. And then when she found out that he loved her, she felt like there was finally some possibility, like he was available. But she had fallen in love with Jem. I don't doubt that she loves both Jem and Will and that she's genuinely torn. It's truly a tough decision, but I've loved Jem from the start, even when he wasn't in the love triangle. I just liked his coolness more than I liked Will's sarcasm. Maybe it's because I got a lot of that with Jace? (omg, Jace  ) |

i find these characters very developed in the story and I think thats why its so hard to choose as both are great people. also in response to who she will kill it wont be tessa becuase she appears in COG, but i feel it might be one of the boys which will be very hard for me to take if she does do that  |

And I really can't choose, its killing me. |

I wonder what else he did to betray her...
Remember, when he's dying, he says that Tessa doesn't know eveything he's done.
I'm really interested to find out.
Do you have any theories on what it might be?
