Review Detail

This series is beyond brilliant. Clockwork Angel started out good, but not amazing for me. That shortly turned around, and the amazingness I found in Clockwork Angel was simply multiplied in Clockwork Prince and was a just brilliant read that I was blown away by.

Cassandra Clare picks right up where Clockwork Angel left off, and dives right into a brilliant story that is fast paced and doesn't let up for a minute. Clockwork Prince has it all: curses, betrayals, love, etc. It was brilliant. I had no idea where the plot was going, and it twisted and turned and then I would end up somewhere completely different. There was a perfect balance between everything that went on that worked perfectly. I loved that the story become more and more heightened until the books end, and I am very curious where to see Cassandra Clare will take readers in the next book. Though, there were also several scenes towards the books end that I was not as keen on, and that also has me curious where certain aspects will go in Clockwork Princess.

The characters are just marvelous. I first need to declare that within the first chapters of Clockwork Prince my slight lean towards Team Will became 100%, as much as I love Jem, I am definitely Team Will. And as the book went on that only further solidified my choice. Tessa grew so much in this book from the character she was in Clockwork Angel. I was happy to see a lot more of Sophie in this one as she was such a great character.Charlotte and Henry are just too great, and there definitely was a lot more of the both of them in Clockwork Prince, which was something else I was happy about.

I am angry with Cassandra Clare right now. The ending of Clockwork Prince was so mean, yet so good. I thought the ending of Clockwork Angel was bad, and then I read this one. There is so much going on and I am dying to know what is going to happen or where the story will go. I am officially counting down until Clockwork Princess's release next year.

I may be a late comer to this series, but it is definitely a new favorite of mine. Cassandra Clare has just mastered this world and has delivered a brilliant story. I loved the characters, the world, and basically everything about it. The wait until next fall will a long wait indeed.
