Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

3.0

---

i am a jem carstairs cheerleader before i am human!! the book gets a 3.5 from me - it’s clearly very introductory (which is natural given that it’s the first book in a prequel trilogy) but isn’t too heavy on lore-dumping or throwing terms and their definitions around, you naturally come to terms with the world that’s being built. some moments had me gripped or physically reacting and i generally had a good time, i’m intrigued by the two remaining books in this particular series.
