____________________________________________“One must always be careful of books," said Tessa, "and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us.” ____________________________________________ ☆☆☆☆☆5 FULLY STARS!☆☆☆☆☆ You can find the full review and more about this book on my blog!I never thought this could be that good.I had started "City of Bones" (the first book of The Mortal Instruments by the same author) but it didn't work for me so I thought this could be the same but I wa...

”Milton thought Hell was a city, you know. I think maybe he had it half-right. Perhaps London is just Hell’s entrance, and we are the damned souls refusing to pass through, fearing that what we will find on the other side will be worse than the horror we already know.”I’m the first one to admit that this book has a very slow pacing and that there isn’t an awful lot of action, let alone an intriguing plot. No, this book has none of that, yet it’s still one of my all-time favourites and I’d recomm...

I think I may like these better than TMI

1. Yes, I'll be doing a review for this on my channel. 2. Yes, I'll be continuing the series. 3. No, I won't tell you who's "team" I'm on yet 🙃

To be honest, I’m not quite sure how to rate this book. It wasn’t all bad, but I wouldn’t say it was good either. It was rather boring at times and the story dragged heavily, especially in the middle and towards the end. None of the characters has become particularly dear to me. I didn’t buy the love story. However, I think I would have liked it much better if I hadn’t read the Mortal Instruments series before. But the books are so similar (which was to be expected, I know, as they are set in th...

(This was such a thoughtful gift from Haley!)1.) City of Bones ★★★2.) City of Ashes ★★3.) City of Glass ★★★ “It's all right to love someone who doesn't love you back, as long as they're worth you loving them. As long as they deserve it.” Friends, I finally made it to your beloved Infernal Devices! And I really enjoyed this book. Easily my favorite Cassie Clare book yet! And this was hella darker than anything in the The Mortal Instruments thus far. Clockwork Angel is the first installm...

Find me on Instagram & Twitter!Clockwork Angel was AMAZING. If you love The Mortal Instruments, then you will surely love this book, maybe even more than the original series itself. And if you didn't, well I honestly believe The Infernal Devices will succeed in what The Mortal Instruments failed to do.The characters were one hundred times more better than that of The Mortal Instruments! Everybody was so much more likable and mature. I really thought for a second that Tessa Gray was older...

A lot of Goodreads friends that I have, people I deeply respect and whose opinions I actually hold in great value gave this book lots of stars and glowing reviews. Friends of mine, you know I adore you, so please don't take offense at this review. If you enjoyed this book then I’m really glad you did. It makes me happy when people enjoy literature. So you probably shouldn't read this review if you love this book. It's nice to know that even though Cassandra Clare's Draco Trilogy ended years ago,...

Five years later and my love has yet to subside

[rips apart ‘I love Jem Carstairs’ shirt to reveal another ‘I love Jem Carstairs’ shirt in bigger font] I can't walk up the stairs without wheezing but I would fisfight the moon for this boy.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.Lastly, I can see the fledgling tendrils of a love triangle and I am suffering. Make it an OT3 you COWARDS.

This book was fantastic! I am happy that I read it after TMI because I was able to catch the nods to those books. I love both Jem and Will and all of the other characters. I'm excited to start next book right away, which is rare since I never binge read series.

This book got 1.5 stars from me simply because I was also reading Tiger's Quest by Colleen Houck, and comparing with Tiger's Quest, Clockwork Angel looks like it deserves 1.5 stars...In order to save you some precious time, I will tell you my honest reaction to Clockwork Angel right here, right now:Thank you, Shou.Also, when I first opened the book, I was faced by this description as well:Magic is dangerous-but love is more dangerous still. *sighs* What kind of soap-operatic shit is that!? I hat...

Some of you might know me for, well, this review. You know, my most popular, most liked one-star review of City of Bones? That one? So I guess the thesis of this review could be people change. Oh, no, not me - I still think that book was a piece of shit, because it really was. I mean Cassandra Clare. As in she got better at writing.The BIG thing that shocked me here was how incredibly addicting this was. Like, I tore apart City of Bones, but kind of the main thing about that book was that it was...

A fan of Will Herondale, are you? Prepare to swoon.The Dirty Sexy Attic Scene, from Will's point of view: http://www.cassandraclare.com/cms/loss1Yeah, yeah, it's a little over the top in parts, but who cares? :D YumMerged review:I don't give many 5 star reviews, but this one is definitely a 5 star book for me. While I liked Mortal Instruments, I wasn't as rabid a fan as I know many people are, so I read Clockwork Angel out of curiosity more than anything else...and I'm so glad I did!This book is...

Where have I read this before? Oh, right: Look me right in the eye and tell me this isn't the same book as City of Bones. Oh, wait, you can't. Take a look at this plot sketch.1. Normal girl is saved from demon by strange, handsome boy with mysterious powers2. Normal girl's name rhymes with "hey" and has three syllables in total3. Girl discovers she has magical powers, and isn't normal after all4. Girl discovers her parents were hiding something from her5. Girl falls in love with two different bo...

Y'all better settle in, grab a snack, some tea and a comfy blanket, because I've got a lot to say about this one!I originally read Clockwork Angel in December of 2018. It was my first time reading anything from Cassandra Clare.I knew about The Mortal Instruments series, but mistakenly believed that I wouldn't like it and since this one is set in Victorian London, a setting I adore, I figured I would start here; skipping TMI altogether.I was not prepared for how much I would enjoy this world and

re-read 01.01.20203 years later and Jem Carstairs still owns my heart.
