A review by varga
Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
Did not finish book. Stopped at 60%.
I’ve heart from many people that this is one of the best Cassandra Clare’s series. I gave it a chance, I really did; however, I dnf’ed :/
Had I found this book in my teenage years, then perhaps I would have liked it, but now this story just feels boring to me. The book explicitly tries to be funny at times, but to me, the humor is mid here.
One thing that kind of ruined the reading experience for me was that I went into the book with certain expectations. For example, I expected the fantasy world to be more immersive (kinda?). I also couldn’t really resonate with the characters, i. e. I hardly cared for any of them (however, I couldn’t figure out why exactly I felt this way).
However, it was nice to see some characters I already know from the other series, which gave me a sense of nostalgia (*cough* Magnus Bane *cough*).
All in all, I cannot say anything really negative about this book, but there was almost nothing that could hook me up too.
