Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare
5.0

I don't really have anything new to say about this book. It was phenomenal, probably the most in-depth absorbing book Clare has written yet. For those of you who read Clockwork Angel and were just feeling kind of "ehhhhh" about it. This book really opens up the plotline. The characters seemed so real and relatable. I think this book will really convince those of you who though Clockwork Angel was so-so that this really is an amazing story. I was engaged throughout the entire book without any slow or dull parts to make me want to put it down. If I wasn't in class or eating I was devouring this book. No time for sleep because I practically inhaled it in less than 12 hours.

Personally, I had my doubts about this new series of Clare's. I thought, "this is going to be the Mortal Instruments just 2 centuries earlier". But it really isn't. Yes some of the characters are the same but the new ones possess qualities that are entirely their own. Tessa is her own heroine. While she and Clary possess similiar qualities you can just tell by reading this book that Tessa is someone who does things differently than how Clary would. I applaud Clare on her ability to create a completely different story with so many intertwining side stories and still have time to include them all in Clockwork Prince. Definitely a must read book in this series and if you are by chance stumbling upon this review because you are thinking about starting the Infernal Devices but are not sure. Do it. It may take away 12 hours of your time from studying (finals are coming up!) but it is totally and 100% worth it.
