I decided to start rereading the infernal devices because I’d read the first two but never finished the trilogy. I had hoped when rereading that it wouldn’t disappoint and it didn’t, the action was there, the plot was there, the character development was there and the romance was there. This book is one I can see myself rereading again and again and hopefully passing onto my children.

This book was too YA for me and it just wasn’t my style.

OMG. BLOODY. AMAZING!
I love Jem, I love Will, I love Tessa and I even love Jessamine! Good gracious, this was just one of the best first books in a series I have ever read. WOOOW. Give me more. I'm going to pick up Clockwork Prince like, right now!

I liked the characters, the plot and the setting so much more than TMI...

Oof okay.. so this was my first Cassandra Clare book and I absolutely loved it! I didn’t expect to like it this much, I was hesitant at first but I ended up loving it and I’m really happy about that. I definitely want to read the rest of her series as well!:)

Great book, I read this 11 years ago and was surprised at how much I still love these characters. I had forgotten many things and plot twist, but as they got nearer I kind off remembered and was so sooo excited to read them again.
Love Jem and Will forever.

At first I was skeptical of reading this series thinking I might not like it as well as The Mortal Instruments. I actually ended up loving the book, Tessa, Will and Jem. I couldn't believe how many love triangles there are in this book between Thomas, Sophie, Jem, Tessa and Will. Will is very much like Jace, personality wise and whatnot. I'm hoping that Will and Tessa will end up together in the end, that Jem will find a cure and Sophie will find someone she can love and who will love her back.

"Clockwork Angel" gets a 3 out of 5 stars from me. The reason I gave it 3 out of 5 stars is because I'm honestly sick and tired of these characters who act like assholes because something traumatic happened to them in the past. I don't care what happened to you, you have no right acting like an asshole or semi-heartless toward anyone. I hate when people use past crap as crutches in life. GET A GRIP, GET A LIFE, AND GET OVER IT.(- Alyssa Edwards) People told me "You'll understand why Will acts that way, he has a reason." So it's okay for someone to act like they couldn't give two fucks about anyone just because their parents died or something ugly happened to them in the past? FUCK THAT. If you think that is okay you are mental. I don't like Will and I know that I won't like him after the last book.
There's a part in this book where Will is talking about Nate and Tessa in an ugly way while Tessa is listening from the other side of the door and I was just like "If this bitch doesn't walk into that room and smack that fucker in the face I'm done." I was eagerly waiting for Tessa to walk and in and give Will a pop in the face.
I don't think Tessa should end up with Jem or Will, but if I had to say who I predict she'll end up with I'd say Will because they suit each other. Tessa's a weak character and she deserves dickhead Will. At least when Jace acted like an ass, it was tolerable. The only character I like is Jem and I'd like to know more about him. And what saved this from getting 2 stars was Magnus fucking Bane.
I thought the story line was good, it wasn't entirely original but I liked the era it took place in. And I love Cassandra Clare's writing. I'm sad that I didn't enjoy this as much as I enjoyed books 1-5 of TMI but that is how it is. I want more of Jem and that is the only reason I will read the last two books in the ID trilogy.
Also please don't tell me how I will like Will better in the rest of the books. I didn't like Simon in City of Bones and after the fifth book I still don't like him. I don't like Will now, and I won't like him in the second or third book. I don't like Tessa either, she's got no backbone and there's just something about her I don't like.
**I'm not sure I'm going to finish this trilogy just yet. I have Clockwork Prince and Princess from the library but they are due next week and they are on hold for other readers. I KNOW I will not finish both of those books by next week so I might have to pick them up again when they are available.
