Liked Clockwork Angel better than the Mortal Instruments,
that's why I am eagerly awaiting the next installment in the Infernal Devices=]
December 2011 is too far away!!
Can't we just read it now?
Huh...
It seems people are already choosing sides...
So, in that case, I'll admit that I am...

hahaha, so predictable of me, but I can't help it!

My heart... where is it...?
Ah, I can see it on the floor, broken into tiny little pieces. Jem. Will.
And me...
Cassandra Clare, you just broke my heart gazillion times. This book was flipping amazing! =') The plot, the characters, the writing, the story, the ending EVERYTHING was perfect! This series is so much better than the Mortal Instruments and please, PLEASE go and buy this book and read it already!

Have you ever pictured yourself wandering among the tombs at Westminster Abbey, marveling at the sheer wonder of being among the greatest literary figures in history? Sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray is taken to Poets' Corner by someone who understands exactly what such an experience will mean to her, and this lovely little moment in the sequel to Clockwork Angel perfectly encapsulates everything I love about the Infernal Devices series. Tessa is a shapeshifting Shadowhunter who is becoming accustome

I might actually die if people are choosing 'teams' like this is the Twilight Saga or something. The "team Gale' 'team Peeta' thing already came close to ruining the Hunger Games for me and after reading this and the MI trilogy I think these might be my favorite books now. If they go down like the twilight books did, with everybody either loving them and being obnoxious and choosing retarded "sides" then sensible people who think this side nonsense is a bunch of BS and that teena

**Don't click the spoilers if you haven't read the book.**
I think it's time to admit to myself that The Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices series are just not for me. I suppose it's not a secret I'm not a huge fan of Cassandra Clare's work, but I won't deny that there were some things I did enjoy with each series. However, this was a disappointing read for me. I originally liked the premise of the first book in the Infernal Devices series, but this installment seemed to focus More...

The Infernal Devices Continues with Clockwork Prince
I don't think Cassandra Clare will ever disappoint me, though it's clear that many of my friends don't quite understand the immense love that I have for her Shadowhunters.

Real rating is 3.5 stars. Meh. Bleh. Blargh. Gah. Eugh.
Okay, so I have to admit that this review is probably going to come off and/or sound more like me complaining about something that I, personally, didn't like rather than something that was really wrong with the book itself. but I don't complain much so this is going to be okay, right?

Holy Carstairs! This book was perfection!
The hunt for the Magister continues. Although he never shows up in this book. Tessa still tries to help in the hunt for Mortmain by using her power to Change. She feels guilty over her brother, who is still incredibly evil and using someone close to her to spy on them. This book is as full of danger and excitement as the first. Tessa is trying to stay away from brooding Will and she continues to grow closer to Jem.

“I cannot explain love,” he said. “I could not tell you if I loved you the first moment I saw you, or if it was the second or third or fourth. But I remember the first moment I looked at you walking toward me and realized that somehow the rest of the world seemed to vanish when I was with you. That you were the center of everything I did and felt and thought.”

I know why I love Will so much, and so irritated with Jem, and awed by Tessa's choice. It's because I am so attached to this book. Awesome series! I really love how the story is written although I am still devastated of Will's fate. I cried at the end of the story.
So I can say that I love and hate this book.

I read this book within a day of getting it, no lie, and while I was enthralled to finally get to read it, and it had many, many amazing moments - it was only mediocre, compared to my expectations. It was very good, nonetheless, though it would definitely be a good idea to read Clockwork Angel beforehand, as this book leaves little room for 'so here's what you missed in the Infernal Devices!' talk.

OMG judging by the teasers Cassandra Clare's been posting, I'm going to be giggling my butt off all the way through this book. Gosh darn it, how am I supposed to wait so long? (:

I think the asshole-pretty boy shouldn't win for once... (though I love Jace, this Will character is a pain)
TEAM JEM, BIOTCHESS!
I'm impressed by Cassandra Clare... she really learned how to make a strong love triangle. In Mortal Instruments, I think around 95% of the people were team Jace instead of Simon. Here, it seems pretty equal. :)

Nope. No. I will not do it. I am ecstatic for the next installment in the Mortal Instruments, and I love the NY Shadowhunter crew, but this prequel series is insufferable. I couldn't even finish Clockwork Angel. It bored me to death. It bored me so much I contemplated eating all the pages just to amuse myself.
Unfortunately, ink is not the most digestible of materials.

The first book, Clockwork Angel, has left me impatient for the books to come. I think I'm more fond of Infernal Devices than I am of Mortal Instruments. There's just something about the Victorian Era that intrigues me, and it's really interesting to see the family ties, and get a sense of the Shadowhunter world back then.
Anyways, I personally prefer that Tessa ends up with Jem. I find that it's really irritating how countless female characters always end up with the bad boy. Pl More...

TEAM JEM!!!
EDIT: I finished it and my gosh, I loved it!! We get a better view of Jem but also the reasons to why Will is the person he is. Although I find it very ironic with Will, he did whatever he could to stop it, but it wasn't even actually happening. That just really sucked. I'm not going to say anything else least I spoil it for other. I have to admit though I like Tessa better than Clary, but to each his own.

I don't understand why everyone is taking sides. She's so obviously going to choose Will. Why? because she's stupid, just like most girls in books like this. Anyone with a half a brain would choose Jem. Sweet, funny beautiful Jem. I know I would. But hey what can you do?

"Clockwork Prince" was poignantly written. A story of love, tragedy, and sacrifice.
The author was terrific in describing both Jem and Will, making it hard to choose between them. But I sympathize with Will more, I just love him and he's fantastic.

Swoon worthy. Moving the release from month to month to month frustrated me… but jerking around aside, Clockwork Prince totally made up for the long (read frustrating) wait. Not only are we reunited with the likes of Tessa, Jem, Will and Magnus, but we are also shown a little more of the characters.
