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

[Claire]

Absolutely no rush, I hope you feel better soon!

[Jamie]

Thanks. Luckily I can just relax and listen to audiobooks in between reading this. :)

[Jamie]

That or sleeping/cuddling with the furbabies.

[Eva Luna]

Hope you feel better soon Jamie!

Chapter 16
(view spoiler)[Wauw... her brother really is not great at dealing with life. He basically gave his sister up because of his own debts. 'They said they wouldn't hurt you'. And you really just believe that? After they told you she was very special? He is not the brightest. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yup! Nate sucks :D

Worst part is that his personality is actually fairly believable (ok, maybe just a tad too evil) considering his upbringing. People can end up all sorts of messed up if they're raised without having to acknowledge the consequences of their actions. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ True! The only thing that really confuses me is him saying: 'She is not my sister.' Like, you still grew up together? Your are still family? How could you even say such a thing. .-. (hide spoiler)]

[Eva Luna]

Finished
(view spoiler)[First of all, Will is mean, which is not out of character but still made me a bit sad! Also, I hope since she is an exception she will be able to have children.

Second of all, lots of plottwisty things happened in the end, I already had a bad feeling about Mortmain! Guess I was right! (hide spoiler)]

[Claire]

Yay!

(view spoiler)[Yuuuup I remember reading that bit for the first time and being like wow excuse me Will what the heck is your problem??? Jem is an angel though <3 (hide spoiler)]

By the way if any of you guys want to BR the rest of this series in September, I'm totally in!

[Eva Luna]

Yesssss I do! :D

[Claire]

Awesome! I'm happy to start any time in early-ish September if that works for you and Jamie if she would like to join also :D

[Eva Luna]

Yes, whenever is fine with me. I have no BR planned yet. :)

[Jamie]

Would love to but I have 2 (maybe 3) BRs right away. Would somewhere between the 5-10th work?

[Jamie]

Ch 10 (view spoiler)[Oh crap she is not leaving now that she sees her brother.... (hide spoiler)]

[Claire]

Sure! How does the 6th sound for you guys?

[Jamie]

Works for me

[Jamie]

Ch 18 (view spoiler)[Awww.. like we are suppose to feel sorry for Mrs Dark? I don't think so.. . (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Done (view spoiler)[That was a busy ending! I love how Jem explains things to her. (hide spoiler)]

[Claire]

Yay! Ok I'll request the thread now, see you guys in a week or so!

[Roxanne]

I am Chapter 3. Hoping to get to seven or at least ten. I am already hooked into the world. I find that Tessa has an interesting ability - it was not at all what I was expecting.

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

Roxanne when making comments can you put them as a spoiler please.

At the begining put < spoiler > then at the end put spoiler > with out the spaces and your comments are hidden until the person is ready to read them. Like this.
(view spoiler)[ Hi (hide spoiler)]

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

Chapter 5

(view spoiler)[ Dam dam dam what can I say. This has sucked me in from the start. The dark sisters....well what can I say I'm glad that one of them is dead. I hope they can find the other. This is going to be one of those books that you really need to pay attention too. The characters and word are amazing. (hide spoiler)]

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

Chapter 8

(view spoiler)[ Oh I like this plan. I wonder how it'll go. It seems like her brother may have a gambling habit. (hide spoiler)]

[Roxanne]

Gotcha gotcha. Sorry. Still getting the hang of things.

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

That's fine Roxanne. It's hard when you first join I know. I didn't know all the little html to get things done either. I still don't know them all lol.

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

Chapter 13

(view spoiler)[ This book is too good, if I made comments each time I wanted too I'd always be posting. They have her brother, the plan half worked. They also have a manic vampire annoyed with them, I can't see that ending well. (hide spoiler)]

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

Chapter 15

(view spoiler)[ These clockwork people are getting better......i wonder who's making them? (hide spoiler)]

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

Chapter 18

(view spoiler)[ No no no. Her brother was in on it the whole time. (hide spoiler)]

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

Finished

(view spoiler)[ Wow...that was....I'm speechless. I loved this and I don't think anything could have made it any better. (hide spoiler)]

[Milly]

Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ I’m so f*****g mad at myself. I looked at stuff online and found out who Tessa ends up with. I just spoilt it for myself, uggggggggggggggggggggggh. So far nothing has really hit me yet, nothing to give me that certain adrenaline to not be able to put it down. I’m really interested in who the Dark Sister’s are. Also, Jessamine is a b***h. (hide spoiler)]

[Roxanne]

I personally wanted to slap Jessamine. If anything, Tessa is a far more caring person.

[Milly]

Don’t forget to use (view spoiler)[...we don’t want to spoil it for anyone :( (hide spoiler)]

[Milly]

53% (view spoiler)[ So far there have been moments when I’ve been interested and others when I got bored and the book has just dragged on. I’ve just gotten to the part when Tessa finds Nate and now I’m wondering what he did to get into that position. (hide spoiler)]

[Milly]

I just spilt water all over my book...smh

[Milly]

Finished (view spoiler)[ This was not my book. I just found it so...boring. I can’t bring myself to read the next one. (hide spoiler)]

[Pragya]

Till Chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ This book has started with so much action. I never trusted the Dark sisters. Their name just gives them away. But I didn't imagined that they will kidnap her. I think they might be lying about Nate's whereabouts. Will's personality is quite like Jace's. (hide spoiler)]

[Pragya]

Till Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ Tessa is shape shifter but has no demon blood. Why is she so different?
Jes was being rude at dinner. What's up with Jes and Will. The way they were acting at the dinner.
What suddenly happened to Will at the end. (hide spoiler)]

[Simone]

Chapters Prologue-2 (view spoiler)[ Tessa is reminding me of Clary. I mean, Theresa Gray and Clarissa Fray? Those sound suspiciously similar. And Will is definitely Jace.

Honestly, I'm super annoyed with all of them. Will and Tessa didn't seem at all concerned with the fact that they are having a nice chit-chat in Tessa's kidnappers' house. At least get to a safe place before discussing Dante's Inferno.

The way the Dark Sisters are talking about Tessa's brother makes me think that they don't even have him.

"...We might be willing to be lenient this time, but the next..."

If they actually had her brother, I feel like they wouldn't show this much mercy. (hide spoiler)]

[Simone]

Pragya wrote: "Till Chapter 2 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[My mind immediately jumped to one of the worst possible outcomes, human trafficking, which in hindsight is actually pretty close to what happened. (hide spoiler)]

[Jessica]

Til Chapter 6

(view spoiler)[ There so many parallels between these characters and those from the Mortal Instruments. I mean Will is an ancestor of Jace as they have the same real last name. I like how action packed it starts with, it makes me keep wanting to read. Who is the person who wants Tessa and why does he want her so bad? Obviously her powers can be even more powerful then they are already. The question is what is she exactly.

Why are Will and Jas so rude to Tessa? Jem/James seems like an interesting character and is willing to answer Tessa's questions. What is wrong with him though that caused him to cough up blood. SOOO MANY QUESTIONS (hide spoiler)]

[Jessica]

(view spoiler)[ I also wonder if they even have Nate. And it is a common thing in these characters to have the weirdest conversations at times of danger like maybe get out of the face of danger to start a discussion (hide spoiler)]
