This book... This book is amazing! I love the mortal instruments but the infernal devices just expanded my love for the writing of Cassandra Clare. The relationships between characters are well developed and storyline is an interesting one. The best part is the fact my favourite book character, Magnus Bane, is also included in this trilogy, could this honestly get any better?

Retro-reviewing this one since I remember it being one of the books that launched a love for fantasy in gritty historical settings

This is my second time reading Clockwork Angel. I'm currently reading the Shadow Hunter books in chronological order, so I decided I would also reread the Infernal Devices trilogy instead of skipping over them. My rating actually didn't change, and honestly, I think I'll never rate it higher than a five star because I don't have the same nostalgia attached to series as so many others do since I only read it for the first time 5 years ago. However, I still really do like this series. The story is interesting and keeps me entertained. My favorite part is definitely the characters which I think is the case for most people.
I'd say the biggest change in feelings for me in my reread is that I'm pretty sure I'm team Jem now. I remember really wanting Will and Tessa to end up together when I first read this series because that was the more angsty ship/more popular ship. Upon reread, I was more annoyed with Will (like I know he's dealing with some kind of internal shit), but like the way he'd treat not just Tessa but everyone at times was just appalling. Jem is a sweetheart, and I love that. I'm honestly very interested to see how I feel reading the rest of the series since my perspective has changed in regards to the love triangle in this series (I do still dislike love triangles in general kind of).
During this reread, I definitely loved Charlotte and Henry more, and perhaps that is because I'm getting older. Tessa was okay. Like I didn't hate her, but I don't love her either. I think I honestly see her character as a little underwhelming, considering she is the main heroine in the story. Regardless, I'm excited to continue the series more consecutively because I read them too far apart from each other initially, and I think that's why I don't remember a lot of the plot.
