feel like the books I will be reading this month will give: I’m on a book buying ban (loool)

Une très chouette introduction à l’univers !


Riddled with automatons and steamworks this little beauty of a book is even better than the "original" series of this world : The Mortal Instruments.

For some reason the whole way of writing and the ambience reminds me of Harry Potter in a way that nothing else has since I read them. Albeit it being a Potteresk universe for teens and adults and not children.

This is my third time rereading this series, and it has not become less magical over time. In fact, it is my favourite Shadowhunters series so far (we'll see if the release of Chain of Gold on Tuesday changes that.)

Clockwork Angel transports you in many ways - to London, to a time many ages past, and to a magical world. Clare's writing brings London to life, and makes you feel as though you truly have taken a portal to the Victorian era.

I have always found Tessa a bit dull in the beginning of the book. She is naive, and to be frank, weak. However, that soon changes when she meets fearless Shadowhunters Will and Jem. The three of them form an odd alliance, and by the end of the book, Tessa shows tremendous courage.

When Tessa leaves New York to join her brother, Nate, in London, she is devastated when she can't find him. She ends up builiding her own family which doesn't just include Will and Jem, but a whole host of other characters, who are no less interesting than the main characters.

The pacing of the book is excellent. Many things happen that could not possibly have been predicted earlier in the book. Betrayals, pain, death, secrets . . . What more could you ask for?

Cassandra Clare's books are possibly my favourite to read. They are the types of books where half the time you don't even realise you are reading - you feel as though you are in the story, living it along with the characters and seeing it play out in front of you.

I made a last minute decision to reread The Infernal Devices before Chain of Gold releases, and boy, am I glad I did. I always fear that when rereading a book, I won't find it as enjoyable, since I know what happens. That is not the case with this series, or any Shadowhunters series. In fact, I find myself loving it more and more with each reread.
