Grace Meredith (koreantrash) Please feel free to join Mimi and I as we read Clockwork Angel! This is the first in the Infernal Devices series, which is a prequel trilogy to the Mortal Instruments series.


Mimi | 205 comments Yay I found the thread! I'm up to chapter eight so I'm hoping to read some more tonight. I'm reading quite slowly though because I have a bunch of work on.


Grace Meredith (koreantrash) I just finished the prologue last night, I was too tired to read any more, but I can fly through YA books, so don't worry!


Dylan Ive already read it and im not going to give you any spoilers but i can tell you that you are going to love this series

Alexandra | 3 comments OMG!! One of the best series ever!!!


Grace Meredith (koreantrash) I know, that's what I've been hearing! I'm super excited!


Mimi | 205 comments This is actually a reread for me. I read Clockwork Angel a couple of years ago and now I want to finish the series but I can't remember what happened!


Grace Meredith (koreantrash) So I'm on page 130, Chapter 6. I'm catching up! I really love it so far, Will is just perfect, and I literally burst out laughing at the dinner scene. Jem is cool, he reminds me of Magnus Bane from TMI. What are you at? How are you liking it?

Alexandra | 3 comments One of the things i LOVE about Cassandra Clare's books is the language she uses. It's so natural and sooo beautiful and it suits the story perfectly.


Grace Meredith (koreantrash) Hey, I'm on Chapter 16, page 350. Where are you at, Mimi?


Grace Meredith (koreantrash) I just finished! Oh my god, it was so epic! Where are you, Mimi?! I need to talk to someone about the awesomeness of this book! Here's my review, to get you started.

Mimi | 205 comments sorry! Works been a bit crazy. I've just started chapter 11. I'll post more when I'm on my computer. Glad you enjoyed it :). Are you going to continue the series (I'm assuming you will)


Grace Meredith (koreantrash) Yes! I'm going to read Clockwork Prince as soon as it comes from the library. Although I have to say, the first book is usually the best, and... it always seems to go downhill. I dunno, maybe it's just me.

Mimi | 205 comments Awesome. I have the other two books as well so I'll read them with you! I've heard some mixed reviews about the ending but I suppose we should just read and make up our own minds. OK so I'm at the beginning of chapter 11 and (view spoiler)


Grace Meredith (koreantrash) Oh, it says the spoilers were removed! But you can give me spoilers, since I've already read it. :)

Mimi | 205 comments They're just under a link. If you're on a computer you can click on them and they'll open :). They don't work on mobile for some strange reason so when I'm back on my computer I'll post them separately!


Grace Meredith (koreantrash) Ok! Sorry. I'll go on the website.


Grace Meredith (koreantrash) I saw your 'spoilers', and you have some interesting thoughts! I certainly wasn't being that thoughtful about the plot at that part! :) I don't really see Tessa as Hermione, because I picture Hermione as a slightly short, bushy headed teenager, whereas Tessa in my mind is a thin, kind of sallow person with long dark hair. Will IS annoying, but he can be funny sometimes. Jem's little problem is interesting, and I really wanted to know more about him once it was revealed, but he sadly took a bit of a backseat to the story. :(

Mimi | 205 comments I finally finished last night!
*SPOILERS AHEAD*

Wow it took a dramatic turn in the last few chapters! Nate was so vile..... I'm curious about what exactly Tessa is, is she a warlock? Or half a warlock half something else? It's quite interesting. Will is horrible and I want to know his tragic backstory that has been whacked over my head throughout the story. And I'm curious about Jem as well.
Oh and I felt so bad for Sophie!
I've just started Clockwork Prince. Did you manage to grab a copy?


Grace Meredith (koreantrash) No! Bummer! But it should be here soon! Do you think you could either hold on or read really slowly? Or maybe we'll just discuss it later.

Mimi | 205 comments I'm such a slow reader so that's no worries! Just let me know if you get a copy :)


Grace Meredith (koreantrash) OK, I will! Thanks.
