magpi3 's review for:
Clockwork Prince
by Cassandra Clare
I love the universe that Cassandra Clare has created but this book and the Clockwork Princess is one of the most infruiating sets of books I have ever read. I still love the book, but it doesn’t half get my blood boiling. This is mainly due to the ‘conflict’ between Will, Jem and Tessa which is resolved in the least satisfying way possible but that is a rant for another review.
My disatisfaction aside, I did enjoy the book. Jessamine seemed to take approximately seventeen steps backwards as a character into something even more resembling a stock character which was unfortunate. Sophie however lept forward in leaps and bounds during her limited screen time, even if this limited by her self doubt which almost seemed pushed by the end of the book.
Magnus Bane was an absolute sweetheart as always, and introduced a rather interesting aspect of the universe which is the ghost economic aspect of it. And typically this is mentioned once in a throw away chapter and then never again.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the series, and I love the universe. It is just really irritating to see such potential go unfulfilled.
Jem and Will remain one of my favourite pairs and I love their interactions with each other, and their trust in their bond.
Despite my many complaints about this series, I do enjoy reading it and would reccomend it, though maybe after reading The Mortal Instruments first in order to grasp some of the funnier futures pairs, as well as the overall history of the universe.
