I'm sorry.

I love the Shadowhunter World. I love Cassandra Clare. I love everything about TMI and ID.

But I don't - can't - love this book.

Not just because I'm a die-hard Will fan. But because this book was lacking in so many aspects. To be honest, I'm rather disappointed about this book.

I really really didn't like Tessa. I can understand how she doesn't understand which boy she loves, but I wish she didn't have to be so dispassionate about it. She would go all out with Jem and then less than tw I'm sorry.

I really really didn't like Tessa. I can understand how she doesn't understand which boy she loves, but I wish she didn't have to be so dispassionate about it. She would go all out with Jem and then less than twenty four hours later she goes at it with Will. And then blames it on some warlock powder when it's obviously not the case. And then she switches back to Jem and then Will again. And between each time, when she's with each boy, she never even thinks about the other and how she's pretty much betraying their trust, playing with their feelings, and breaking their heart if they ever found out. She's just so blatantly ignorant of how her actions could affect Will and Jem. She always "loses herself in the moment". And it isn't until the last twenty pages after the climatic point is reached (no spoilers) that she understands what she could be doing to their friendship.

And there wasn't much plot going on in this book. Not much mystery, just a little bit investigation, no surprise, no curveball. Mortmain didn't even make an appearance. What I always loved best about Cassandra Clare was that she didn't write predictable YA novels. But this book, I predicted it right from the beginning till the end. Exactly as it played out.

But character development with Will was amazing which was this book's saving grace. His nobility and his flushed out personality has made me love him even more, and I didn't think that was possible. The last scene with Jem brought tears to my eyes and their friendship, the bond they have together, is entirely moving but it makes me grieve for Will even more and feel unjustified towards his losses. (view spoiler)

I just hope the last book will be better and restore my faith.

But it has to be evident -even to Jem fans- that Will is the main male protagonist of this novel. Jem never get's any POV's and the book opens up and closes with Will and his importance is weighted upon heavily so I have faith that Will just might make a comeback and we haven't heard the last of Will and Tessa.....

Review:

I really did like this book. it has been on of my fave books from Clare. they way that she decribed everything and the way that she writes just keeps me wanting more. Will, Jem and Tessa i must say its the best love triangle there is. I know most people have said that they want tessa to stay with Jem but i dont think that she loves J ...more

Steampunk - for me this is the perfect example of steampunk.. and I love it. It's like a steampunk version of The Mortal Instruments, and while not as good as the original TMI trilogy, it is a lot better than books 5 and 6. I think I enjoyed this book more than Clockwork Angel, perhaps because it feels comfortable now.

The price of love can sometimes be hard. But, would you want it any other way. For something to be s ...more
