The Infernal Devices 1: Clockwork Angel

Product Information

P I can’t wait to read “Clockwork Prince” because I know their special connection will be explored even more in the second instalment. There are three books in the Infernal Devices series: Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, and Clockwork Princess. I mean, even the rudest characters in Jane Austen's novels wouldn't talk in the same way like Clare's characters. Tessa is also introduced to the head of the Institute, Charlotte Fairchild, whom Tessa almost immediately takes a liking to, her eccentric husband Henry, and the self-absorbed ward of the Institute, Jessamine Lovelace. Then they found out a young girl was slayed by the demon, but they hardly gave any reaction to her death.

He reveals that Tessa's father is a demon and he, in a way, is her creator, because he had contacts with her mundane parents that made the conception possible. He knows that his parabatai loves Tessa and even though it’s plain that he likes her too, he never acts on it. lol* I seem to have a weakness for tortured souls and if Will isn’t the embodiment of a tortured soul then I don’t know! And then Tessa and Will went undercover and sneaked into a vampire party, but when the two of them were surrounded by a roomful a vampires, Tessa just had to lose all control and screamed her head off when she first caught sight of her brother Nate being held captive by the vampires.It was rather boring at times and the story dragged heavily, especially in the middle and towards the end. Still, despite his attitude it’s plain that he cares about all the people that live at the institute. One must always be careful of books," said Tessa, "and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us.

So if you're looking for a fun light read and well-written escapism fiction then this really is the book. As for Will Herondale, being that I am a fellow emo, I respect his self-loathing but as his foster mother, I do not want him to feel that way. Since her family moved around so much she found familiarity in books and went everywhere with a book under her arm.Whoever made that character needed to be shot, hung, kheelhauled and quartered – the whole works) but you know how they’d go somewhere and they’d be like, “Hey guys, I think something’s going to happen! At the party, Magnus seeks Will and Tessa and they discover mysterious manuscripts in the library, which contain scribblings that indicate towards the formation of a clockwork army.

But Tessa doesn’t have Clary’s wit and strength, and her obsession with what is proper and right might be realistic for the girl of the 19th century, but it annoyed me a lot. The original (now hardbound) cover features Will Herondale, with the eponymous clockwork angel necklace in front of him, against a backdrop of London. But all I can see is the Shadowhunters falling into the bad guy's trap foolishly and conveniently so Will can rush in for the rescue at the last minute. The book also contains many quotes referring to famous pieces of Victorian literature, for example, Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, and the works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Alfred Tennyson. Jessie is a very inconsistent character because when push comes to shove she actually falls into the patterns of a Shadowhunter and fights with them.Oh, now I can see that all these Shadowhunters are a bunch of wimps, they can't even stop a rude girl from insulting their own guest, and we're supposed to believe they are the fierce protectors who stood between humans and demons? Jem admits that his body is now dependent on the drug and he has to take some of it every day, causing his skin, hair, and eyes to pale to a silver color, for without it, his body cannot function. Not to mention the fact that he abandons his friend Thomas for Jem as soon as they lay eyes on each other. AND ALL SHE HAD NOTICED IS THAT THE STRANGER HAS "THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FACE SHE HAD EVER SEEN, EVEN THE LINE OF HIS THROAT IS PERFECT"!

Simply put, not only Tessa is an recycled version of Clary, she is also as judgmental, ungrateful and rude as Clary is. There's a bit of love triangle actually which is great - I definitely couldn't pick if I were in Tessa's position.Clockwork Angel es un libro que amo, al igual que toda la saga de Cazadores de Sombras creada por Cassandra Clare.
