Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices, #1) by Cassandra Clare

(the library copy)

December 2020 * UPDATE before full RTC - I decided on 4.5 stars, because of what I'm mentioning below...
I did love this, I couldn’t put it down but there was one major element I disliked, thus I’m conflicted about the rating I’ll give this, so I will sit on it until my full RTC. ...more

That was my favorite scene in Clockwork Angel.
I was beyond happy when i saw that i can read the scene with Will’s perspective.
i totally liked it.
Can't wait for to read Clockwork Prince .

Merged review:

Not bad, it was interesting,but i prefer The Mortal Instrument series.
I didn`t like how closed Will was, how he won`t open his heart to anyone even for Tessa, and maybe even want to forget that she even existed. But perhaps in the end of the trird book, we'll find out who Tessa is going to choose W ...more

My review:
Tessa Gray came to London with her brother's invitation but found herself ended up in a shadow world, one she has never imagined to exist, and her brother, Nate, was actually missing.

Will Herondale was an unbelievably beautiful young Nephilim with too many dark secrets, always created lies for people to think the worst of him. He acted like he cared for no one and need none.

When Tessa came along, Will had to try so hard not to think about her, to ignore her, considered it as a not-so-d My review:
Tessa Gray came to London with her brother's invitation but found herself ended up in a shadow world, one she has never imagined to exist, and her brother, Nate, was actually missing.

Will Herondale was an unbelievably beautiful young Nephilim with too many dark secrets, always created lies for people to think the worst of him. He acted like he cared for no one and need none.

When Tessa came along, Will had to try so hard not to think about her, to ignore her, considered it as a not-so-difficult effort with lots of practices. Will’s best friend, Jem, on the other hand, was totally an opposite character to Will, cared for Tessa and treated her nicely and kindly.

When the truth about her life was revealed, Tessa had to face the fact that she was no longer a mere human, but a warlock, shape shifter one, wanted desperately by an anonymous man called a Magister. Her used-to-be-life was no longer there and not real.

Comment:
I really loved Clockwork Angel. I loved Will and Tessa a lot, loved the way they reacted against each other. How their emotions were developing through the book actually indicated how much they actually cared. Tessa, young and inexperienced, could not fathom Will’s behaviour most of the time, yet could not get away from him. Will’s past seemed to have prevented him from acknowledging Tessa and made his best ways for Tessa to run away from him, no matter how painful it was for him.

I loved the story was building, the fighting against the Automatons, the vampires, the scary and demonic Dark sisters – one was in fact a demon-, and mostly the scene at the Sanctuary, when Will thought he had lost Tessa, and reveal his true feeling.

This novel is indeed one of my favourites. I will definitely enjoy the Clockwork Prince and eager for more Will and Tessa.

Previous comment:
I have set my mind to love the characters before even read the book. A bit biased indeed. Can not help it, since I love the main characters from the Mortal Instruments. And it's true! I like Will a lot. Perhaps because the similarities he posses, lot alike Jace from Mortal instruments. ...more

Shelves: all-time-favourites, fantasy-magic

It's been a long time since I've sat down and binge-read a book in less than 24 hours, but with 'Clockwork Angel' I did just that!

It took me a good 50 pages to settle into the Victorian setting, but after that, I was drawn into Clare's incredibly vivid and magical world of Shadowhunters, mundanes and downworlders. The protagonist, Tessa, had a quieter voice and presence than I'd expected - if you consider the strength of Clary in TMI series - but I quickly grew to love her character, and it was ...more

it was amazing!
i would give it more stars if i could.
I loved it so much, and it is officially my favorite book, ever.
It has romance (not the cheesy kind), action, mystery,and one of those rare qualities in books that make you want to keep reading, through the night.
I highly reccomend this book. to anyone and everyone.
