Jem is the best boy.Īnd, just like all the rest of the books set in this world so far, I always feel like racism is at the forefront of this story.

I also really appreciate Jem’s disability representation, and I love how his character really makes readers think about uneducated addiction stereotypes. Yet, Magnus and Jem are my favorite characters, so take that with a grain of salt. The plot does feel recycled, just in a new and better setting, with a bigger and badder villain.īut as much as I will give credit to this author for giving rep in the 2000s that other authors didn’t have the guts to do, I did feel like I was side-eyeing all the Asian rep in this book. Tessa feels a little like Clary, Will feels exactly like Jace, and Jem feels somewhat like Simon. Yet, I will say that I think a lot of things were kind of obvious. I honestly never wanted to put this book down. “People keep secrets, Tessa, sometimes even from the ones they love.”Īnd I really did have a super fun time while reading this. Unfortunately, once Tessa’s ship comes into port, she is forcefully thrown into a hidden paranormal world that she never knew existed. Her brother was already in London, so he sent for her so that they could start a new life together.

Yet, this trilogy is set in 1878 historical London, with heavy steampunk vibes, and murderous machines! But this book is also filled with humans, fae, shifters, vampires, warlocks, and the very beloved (or not so beloved, depending who’s talking about them) Shadowhunters!Īnd this book starts out with a young girl named Tessa, who is picking up her life and moving to England from America after the death of her Aunt. Easily my favorite Cassie Clare book yet! And this was hella darker than anything in the The Mortal Instruments thus far.Ĭlockwork Angel is the first installment set in the same world that Cassandra Clare has crafted. As long as they deserve it.”įriends, I finally made it to your beloved Infernal Devices! And I really enjoyed this book. “It’s all right to love someone who doesn’t love you back, as long as they’re worth you loving them. Goodreads | Amazon US | Barnes & Noble | Book Depository
