Clockwork Princess

"'You know what feeling,' She said, 'When you are reading a book, and you know that it is going to be a tragedy; you can feel the cold and darkness coming  see the next drawing close around the characters who live and breathe on the pages. But you are tied to the story as if being dragged behind a carriage, and you cannot let go or turn the course aside.'"

"Life is a book and there are a thousand pages I have not yet read."

My Thoughts

Of all the books in the Infernal Devices I believe this book, Clockwork Princess, is my favorite. Face paced, more trouble and warning there will be a death in some of the characters but I will not say who. Packed full of moments you're going to want to keep a box of tissue near you. I liked each and every person in this book, they are really truly unique characters. I also liked the setup of each couples. I loved that I couldn't guess what happens next because I kept getting surprised, especially at the ending. I'm glad that Mortmain made an appearance, since he didn't make one in the second book but then again there would be something wrong if he did not show. I've been trying to decide who my favorite character is and its hard choice because there is many characters that I like. Of all I think Magnus Bane is the one I keep going to no matter how much I like Will, Tessa, and Jem. This book is a must read.

The ending was strong, heart breaking, bittersweet and altogether a great. I loved it. I want to talk more about it but don't want to give it away.

"It has been the privilege and honor of my life to know you."

Summery

After the death of her aunt, Tessa Gray, goes to London to live with her brother Nathaniel.  But little did she know it would dark sisters who would we waiting to keep her until she bends to their will and does what they want. Just when she decides to run off  in comes the Shadowhunters who help save her and let her stay with them. Tessa will learn fairly quickly about a whole new world she never knew of where pretty much everything that goes bump in the night exists. With the help of the shadow hunters Tessa will search for her brother and manage to find new trouble.

My Say

Sometimes authors will get too close to making one series like another, same people different name and place but I didn't see it in this. I almost thought it was going to be like The Mortal Instruments because of the love triangle and characters but then ditched that idea because I noticed how unique these characters were from TMI. I like that Tessa pretty much accepts what is, even when everything may seem far fetched and learns to adapt to any situation. I liked how there was never a dull moment and there was always something new to learn about the characters and something interesting going on. I liked that there was unexpected twists and turns and just when I thought I knew what that going to happen I was completely off. I also love that its in a steam punk kind of setting which lately I've been getting into.

If you love The Mortal Instruments series then you'll love this.  

When it comes to choosing a guy it would be hard. Before I would've said sweet ol' Jem would've been the one I wanted only because it would simple, he's pretty straight out. Then there's Will who is complicated, hot and cold and just plain confusing but the way everything is there must be a reason for the way he acts. Another reason I find it hard to choose it because I've read the second book so I know the reasoning behind Wills actions from what little I can remember from it. I'm pretty sure Id be team Switzerland between these two guys because I don't wanna chose either I like both of them maybe Clockwork Princess will the the tie breaker to help me choose between them.

 

(Can't figure out which trailer I like best)
