Clockwork Angel reminds me of City of Bones, because I didn't love the first half of the book, but once the plot started progressing I was sucked right in. Cassandra Clare has a huge talent for writing, and her strengths shine brighter than ever in this prequel to the Mortal Instruments.

One thing I always love about Cassandra Clare is her characters. Tessa, the main protagonist, possesses an admirable determination similar to Clary in the Mortal Instruments. I loved the two heartthrobs, Jem and ...more

" A very early conversation between Will and Tessa in which the nature of their escape was much different, and in which the Darke House was actually a working brothel of clockwork prostitutes.

If you are a fan of Beautiful Creatures o ...more

I liked it, but it started a little slow for me and took me a while to get into. I like Mortal Instruments more, but it is promising. I may start book 2 now I am thinking about it.
