I haven't read any of the Mortal Instruments series, which this book is a prequel to, but I will have to now because I loved Clockwork Angel! The action grabbed me from the first page, and the pacing is just right: it moves quickly, but there's enough time for characterization as well. I really cared about the characters, even some of the minor ones. I like that the vampires and other monsters are scary in this book, not all hot and sexy like in many of the other popular teen books that are out right now. Clare creates a really interesting world that I am looking forward to reading more about in the rest of the Infernal Devices series, as well as Mortal Instruments.

Could not put this down, will definitely reread. The world Tessa knew just gets completely ripped out from under her. The beginning is hazy, as I’d assume it was for Tessa too. She’s untrusting and still unaware of what she can do. My only issue with Tessa is she asks so many questions lol. Will makes me so angry but i love his character. He’s still ~mysterious so in the next book I’d presume he opens up more. Love Jem so much and Jessamine is lowkey annoying. This also makes me want to reread six of crows lol, very similar setting to that in my opinion.
