Final ‘Clockwork Princess’ snippet of 2011 in honor of Tessa’s ‘Heroine Tourney’ win

Friday’s Extraordinary Eight round of YA Sisterhood’s ‘Tournament of Heroines’ pitted ‘The Infernal Devices’ against ‘The Mortal Instruments.’ Downworlder against Shadowhunter. Tessa Gray against Isabelle Lightwood.

Tessa (No. 3 seed) defeated Izzy (No. 6 seed) by more than 600 votes to advance to the final four, where she with face off vs. Katniss Everdeen (No. 2seed).

Because Tessa won the previous round, Cassandra Clare shared another teaser from ‘Clockwork Princess,’ the final teaser of 2011.

So Tessa won her match against Izzy (poor Izzy – *tear*) which means a Clockwork Princess spoiler. [The next match is Clary vs. Hermione which I expect to be seriously brutal! But now it’s time to rest from the battle and enjoy a spoiler from CP2.)

“By the Angel, it just crushed Sophocles,” noted Will. “Has no one respect for the classics these days?”
