Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices #1) by Cassandra Clare -- Restarting December 1st 2023

[Dii]

I'm thinking half fairy or something lol. I'm most likely wrong. Although, I have noticed that fairies and werewolves were mentioned, but not directly in the book yet. They may make an appearance in this second book.
Do you have any idea?

[Irena BookDustMagic]

(view spoiler)[I think Tessa could be half demon half angel, but I could be wrong . I am really afraid Jem will die toward the end of the series. (hide spoiler)]

Guys, I'm going to make a thread for Clockwork Prince so we could read it together .
The topic for Indernal Devices series read-a-long is in use right now. Over there are reading the first book in the series.

Once I make a thread I'll post it here.

[Dii]

Thank you for creating the thread Irena!

And yeah, that may also be it too! I can't wait to find out!

[Chris]

Well I guess I'm the only one here who loved this story :D

The action and the mystery is two factors in any of my favorite novels ..

[Irena BookDustMagic]

I loved the story too!

[Chris]

I'm up to page 182. So far it's exactly like City of Bones. Will is Jace, Jem is Alec, Jessamine is Isabelle, and of course Tessa is Clary. They all have the same personalities! We're just missing Simon, but I'm thinking Nate will be him. It is good to find out bonus information about the Shadowhunters, Downworlders and Institute. (view spoiler)[ I want to know what exactly those automans were for. I'm confused about that. And I want to know where Nate is! Is he dead, or has he become evil? (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

Page 293. This is so much like City of Bones it makes me want to hit her. (view spoiler)[ I mean, that kiss? Exactly the same as Clary and Jace. And stupid, too. Why would he do that? I don't care that he's sick, that's no excuse for treating her like that! Just you wait, she'll forgive him by tomorrow. I bet she will, she's like that. I think I should've just stuck with the Mortal Instruments, because I really enjoyed that. On it's own, this is good, but after reading that it's making me mad (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 1-4 (Page 103)
Sorry, I've been really busy with school stuff so I haven't read too much but I'll catch up over the weekend (view spoiler)[Tessa is annoying and you're right, this is a lot like City of Bones. The start was a bit sudden though and I felt like I was just thrown into this world, but I think I'll get more in the next few chapters. I love the quotes at the start of each chapter, its really nice. (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

That's okay :) I can't read spoilers on my iPod, so I'll discuss it with you properly when I'm on my computer!
Page 372, chapter 17. (view spoiler)[ Aww, that story about Jem's illness was so sad! I hate about people call it an addiction when it's not his fault. Nate, on the other hand, does have an addiction. He's weak, and it makes me mad. Tessa nearly died for him, multiple times with the Dark Sisters and being Camille, but he did nothing for her. Characters like that make me really mad! And I'm not a huge fan of Will. It's so sweet how he looks after Jem, but other than that he's just up himself (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

Finished!! I gave it three stars. Hopefully I'll get a review up soon :)

[Reading Rediscovered]

So busy with school (writing report cards), I haven't gotten to this one yet. 2 ahead of it, but I will do my best to get to it soon!

[Reading Rediscovered]

I'm here! I finished my other books & am ready to dive in!

[Reading Rediscovered]

Page 54 (view spoiler)[ Although it is a lot of information, I appreciate the understanding of what Nephilim are and do. I already knew from TMI but it's good to explain in the new series. (hide spoiler)]

[Reading Rediscovered]

end of chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ I like Tessa. She seems very trusting but leery at the same time. And I really like that she just put Jessamine in her place with the whole Change thing. (hide spoiler)]

[Reading Rediscovered]

Mid ch 4 (view spoiler)[ i am loving this chapter with all its bookish talk :) (hide spoiler)]

[Reading Rediscovered]

end of chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ I'm a little hesitant to like Miss Jessamine even though she just helped save Tessa. Also, I want to know what's really going on with Jem - he seems cool and I like that he plays violin! (hide spoiler)]

[Reading Rediscovered]

Mid chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ Camille now connects the two series....hmmm who else will connect the stories? (hide spoiler)]

[Reading Rediscovered]

End of ch 13 (view spoiler)[ so Will was Tessas first kiss but I can see a bit of a romance building with Jem. I have a fondness for Jem probably in part because my husband has the same nickname. (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

Chapter three: William must be protected at all costs. I love him.

[Petuli]

Starting reading this :)

[Petuli]

Okay... I don't know if it's better than the Mortal Instruments but it's interesting :)

Chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ oh I like Will... He is sassy and funny... Definitely my type (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ Tessa's abilities are interesting but scary... I wonder if it's bound to her blood or what... (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

I'm only on chapter three but I might be able to finish it tonight and tomorrow as I'm at the beach for the night!

[Petuli]

I think the same here... I will finish it either tonight or tomorrow :)

[Petuli]

Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ what's wrong with Jem? Coughing blood and stuff... But he seems very nice :) (hide spoiler)]

[Petuli]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ Why is Will so unpleasant to everyone? We've seen that he can be very irresistible but he behaves sooo badly. (hide spoiler)]

Up to chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ It must have been horrible to shapeshift into a vampire. But Magnus Bane! Yay! I like him so much! But what Nate did to get to the place where he's now? (hide spoiler)]

[Petuli]

Chapter 11 (view spoiler)[ So de Quincey ran away. That might be a problem. I wonder what will become of Nate - will he stay human? (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ Okay, so there it is - Will is romantic and nice and then he sends her away. But why?? (hide spoiler)]

[Petuli]

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ Now I am seriously curious what made Wil go to the Institute... (hide spoiler)]
15+16 (view spoiler)[ I strongly dislike Nate... He is such a spoiled brat... he doesn't behave like an older brother at all!! (hide spoiler)]

[Petuli]

Just finished! :) It was a very nice read :) My thoughts on remaining chapters:

Chapter 17 (view spoiler)[ Shocker! De Quincey not being the Magister? I guess it would be too easy if he were the Magister... (hide spoiler)]
18 (view spoiler)[ That't the turn - okay, I knew I didn't like Nate! Such a coward! (hide spoiler)]
19 (view spoiler)[ Good job Tessa with deceiving the Magister! Again, nice moment with Will - that boy frustrates me! (hide spoiler)]
20 (view spoiler)[ Will! What are you doing! Frustrating!! (hide spoiler)]

Epilogue (view spoiler)[ What a cloffhanger! Noooo!! I need to have my questions answered! :D (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

I KNOW THIS IS SO LATE PETRA IVE BEEN VERY BUSY

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS I finished it on the train home from Dublin so these are notes that I made in my phone

Chapter 8: (view spoiler)[ WILL STILL MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS. I loved that Camille and Magnus were there, it was like bringing my family back from the war or something! I also really love Tessa, she's a lot less whiny than Clary or something, idk? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 9: (view spoiler)[ "Never trust a duck."-William Herondale, wisest man ever. JEM MUST ALSO BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 11: (view spoiler)[ SHE FOUND NATE. Who is a bit of an asshat (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 13: "There are worse things than that. 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."

Chapter 14: (view spoiler)[ I FREAKING LOVE JEM SO MUCH CAN I KEEP HIM FOREVER? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 18: (view spoiler)[ Gee gosh, what a surprise, the all too easy end wasn't easy at all (hide spoiler)]

Final thoughts: Overall, great book, probably 4 stars in total!

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Reading from the 2nd of August 2015

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

[Twila]

I started
Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[So far, I have no idea what's going on. I can't seem to concentrate. And I don't remember any Clay people from TMI. That's good. I hope this is going to be different than that series. (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ Will seems like he's exactly like Jace. I was afraid this was going to happen :O (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

Chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ the Dark sisters seem really creepy! And i wonder who the magister is? (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

Chapter 11 (view spoiler)[I really want to know what Jem's illness is! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ Will is weird. Why did he get all mad? (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I know Will is ... complex, but that was actually pretty mean in the end. I didn't really like Tessa and I just kind of felt that I was reading City of Bones with British people. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

Chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ I think being able to shapeshift into someday else would be a really fun ability! I don't really like Jessamine, she's very self centred! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

Chapter 16 (view spoiler)[ wow Jessamine has really latched on to Nate!! While her attitude does annoy me, I still feel sorry for her though. She really doesn't want to be a Shadowhunter at all! (hide spoiler)]

[Danielle]

Read this.

[Twila]

Rachel wrote: "Chapter 16 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Jessamine amused me. And I felt sorry for her too but the way she latched on to Nate was so ridiculous. I just have to shake my head :) (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

Finished (view spoiler)[ Will was pretty cruel at the end there, especially bringing up Tessa not being able to have children! He was very harsh! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

Do you want to read the second book too Twila? :)

[Twila]

I would like to, but I'm not sure. Let me take a look at my schedule. BRB

[Rachel]

Ok no problem :)
