Clare shares chapter one snippet after Twitter glitch

The first chapter of Cassandra Clare’s “Clocwork Princess” is slowly being revealed interactively online as eager fans tweet #ClockworkPrincess. Early in the reveal a glitch kept “thousands” of tweets from being counted. To make up for the technical glitch author Cassandra Clare has shared a snippet from the chapter. Click here to read it. WARNING: The snippet does contain spoilers from “Clockwork Princess.”

Here is what Clare had to say on her Tumblr site.

So the chapter reveal of Clockwork Princess is coming along, but as you probably know due to a glitch earlier a whole bunch - thousands - of tweets didn’t get counted. So right now I’m just going to put up the whole Will/Cecily (er, not Will/Cecily per se, but the scene with them talking) scene from the first chapter, under a read more tag. It’ll be a while before the whole scene is played out on the website, and this is my way of apologizing for how disorganized and unpleasant this whole business has been. I wish I could do something about it, but I can’t. I’ll probably get a lot of flak for doing this. But anyway, here it is (and if it doesn’t match up with what’s eventually on the chapter reveal, that’s because I don’t actually have a copyedited, proofed, final version of the book. I only have a draft.)

“Clockwork Princess,” the final installment of Cassandra Clare’s Infernal Devices series hits shelves March 19. Entertainment Weekly recently released the book trailer for the highly anticipated book.
