tanikon 's review for:

Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare

4.0

I lowkey think this book suffers a bit from Second Book Syndrome. It's basically filler. The plot doesn't really budge at all. Instead, we mostly just get character backstory and a whole ton of melodramatic pining/yearning, angst, and vibes. It's all very 2000s and brings me back to the old days of fanfiction lol. Can't say I didn't have fun with this nostalgic sort of storytelling, even if I spent the whole time wondering when Mortmain was going to do something (cue me prodding Mortmain plotline with a stick).
