Clockwork
Angel by Cassandra Clare
★★★★★
Tessa thought she was a normal human girl, but found out how wrong she was when
her aunt passed away. She had nothing left in New York, so she left for England
to be with her brother. When she arrived she was captured by a pair called the
Dark Sisters, and taught what she could do. The night she was to be given to
someone called the Magister, a Shadowhunter (supernatural secret police) named
Will rescued her and brought her back to the London Institute. Once she was free from the Dark Sisters all
she wanted was to find her brother and save him. She found out a lot more then
she bargained for in that search.
This was another fantastic book by
Cassandra Clare. I loved reading about the characters in a different century
than when the Mortal Instruments
series took place. I also liked that it was in London, giving different scenery
than the other books.
I absolutely loved the characters. They worked very well together and felt
real. The various relationships in the book were great especially Jem and
Will’s. They have a unique relationship and their banter is hilarious. I was
laughing throughout this entire book and a lot of it was because of them. Will’s snarky remarks are also a lot of fun.
“Are you implying that shreds of my reputation remain
intact?" Will demanded with mock horror. "Clearly I have been doing
something wrong. Or not something wrong, as the case may be."
He banged on the side of the carriage. "Thomas! We must away at once to the nearest brothel. I seek scandal and low companionship.”

I have loved all of Cassandra Clare’s books. I easily get lost in them and
this one was no different. She always pulls me into the world and then I don’t
want to come out. That is how I felt when I finished this book and I can’t wait
to start reading Clockwork Prince. I
have no doubt that it will be just as good.
