Review Detail

I was a little bit worried when I started to read "The Infernal Devices", I was fearing that I will be disappointed by the similarity with "The Mortal Instruments". Actually I wasn't really caught by Clockwork Angel at first and I really could see lots of things in common with the first Shadowhunters saga.

Going ahead with the story made me change my mind. The entire framework was incredible and original as I used to imagine Shadowhunters fighting in the modern America; The idea of set the story in the Victorian London characterized all the characters and their manners, making them uniques.

I really enjoyed this book, even more than the first one. I was disappointed by the end of the first one so I was interested in knowing how the story went on. For the first 150 pages I was not so focused on the book, actually, because the story doesn't seem to get to a point but, when for the first time appears Will's family, I was so interested in the book that I could not be able to put it down. I love Will! I still try to convince myself that Jem and Tessa will be perfect together but it's just not fair!

I loved the way Cassandra described Will emotions and I couldn't stop following what was his curse until the end, when the secret is revealed. The last 100 pages were so moving that I couldn't stop crying until the end that left me really depressed.

It was amazing seeing how every little details on the book then became something absolutely important which influenced the course of events. The most exciting part was when Will finally "got free" from his curse and finally decided to speaking of his feelings with Tessa and, at the same time, Jem was proposing her.

Moreover, even if the end broke my heart, I was amazed by the incredible importance that Cassandra gave to friendship: the love between parabatai had won against the love for one girl. Will had given up on the only girl who have ever loved for making is friend happy. For the first time he had seen Jem happy and strong and he couldn't stand the thought of taking from him the only person who had this effect on him. The final toast was really to much to bear for me and I couldn't avoid bursting into tears.

The clockwork Prince was really amazing, Cassandra Clare, as always has done a wonderful job. The world that she has created since "City of Bones" is simply unique and so engaging. In the deepest part of my heart I have always wanted to live like a Shadowhunter and among Shadowhunters and I wish that series like this never ends.
