Normally, I do feel sympathetic to characters with tragic pasts
Don't get me wrong, so do I...if it's done right. I agree there is a major disconnect between Jace in the present and Jace in the past. I just feel like she is talking about two completely different people. As a reader, I honestly cannot see who Jace is suppose to be because I keep getting conflicting information about him. Ah, well, on the plus side, as a writer I learned something about characterization.
Well, you can take it with a grain of salt because a lot of the reviews for Clockwork Angel were from people who liked the first trilogy. Apparently THAT is where all the people who hated Jace went. I think any sane person is better off not knowing.
