I've been following Maureen Johnson on twitter for quite some time even though I hadn't read one of her books yet, because she's absolutely hilarious! It was great to see her humour in a book; I laughed out loud a lot. I was super excited when I found this at the public library! (I was the first person to take it out, too =p)
The plot moved at a good pace, and I was satisfied with the relationship development between Rory and Jerome; it wasn't too fast and it didn't take over the plot (to be honest, I shipped Rory and Stephen more, but I guess with the age difference it wouldn't quite worked out).
The characters were great. Claudia was always making me laugh, and Charlotte was fun to dislike lol. I had gotten very much attached to Jo! My favourite character was probably Stephen though, no particular reason.
Loved the plot twist at the end! Can't wait to read book 2!

Wow. Just wow. I don't even know what to say. I just sat on bed for 10 minutes holding this beautiful creation in my hands, staring at it, without a single thought in my head. It was the best! It didn't leave me with any questions and confusions. Perfect!
First of all, I don't think I've ever cried over a book so much in my entire life (which is saying a lot, since I cry over almost every book I read). I went through an entire box of tissues! It wasn't so much the moments with Tessa and Will or Jem, but the moments with Jem and Will that got me the most. I loved them both equally throughout the series, so this was absolutely heartbreaking! But also bitter-sweet. There were many times that I couldn't stop sobbing long enough to finish a sentence. And the epilogue, while Tessa was telling her story, I was laughing so hard even as I tried (and failed) to hold back yet more tears! I'm so attached to the characters, it's ridiculous!
I loved the storyline so much! Even though I had seen spoilers concerning Jem, I was still o surprised when it happened! Almost everything was so unexpected to me. All the theories that I had before reading it were completely wrong, and I love it when that happens! Most of the time, I couldn't guess what was going to happen next. It was so well paced and I feel like not a page was wasted; every word was building up to one thing and they were written so wonderfully!
Cassandra Clare is such a genius, I cannot even with her! I have no idea how she weaved such an intricate family tree, spanning almost 200 years. Everyone is connected, but there's no overlapping. It's amazing, and she's so incredibly wonderful! Even if someone doesn't like the books, they would have to give her credit after looking at the family tree! I love all the references to The Mortal Instruments in this, and how everything ties to that. And what Jem said on Blackfriars Bridge, about having another story to tell, I love that so much! The next time I read TMI, I'll probably read it as though Jem is telling it.
I really don't think there's anything I disliked about CP2. It may actually be my favourite book ever. I have so much respect and admiration for Cassie, and I can't wait to read TDA and CoHF! Clockwork Princess was a perfect conclusion to the Infernal Devices; I couldn't have asked for anything better! It far surpassed my expectations (which were already very high to begin with) and was well worth the wait!

Gaah Ever is such an idiot! I can't even describe how much I dislike her! She's always doing something wrong and she pisses me off like you wouldn't believe! She's pretty much useless. She has a couple strong points but it's really nothing that any other immortal couldn't do. And at the end of this one, with Haven. HOW STUPID COULD SHE BE?! I get that it would be hard to just let that happen to your best friend, but Ever knew what would happen because of her decision! She did the same thing that Damon did to her; didn't give her a choice. UGH!
She makes me want to give up the series. But at the same time, I'm curious as to what happens next; what her next screw up will be.
This freaking series makes me have so many damn feels, most of them not good, a lot of them being anger/frustration, and then the few good ones that make be keep reading.

I loved this! It was funny, romantic, and a little sexy ;) I love Meg's character and I instantly fell in love with John. Great characters + wonderful plot = a new favourite of mine that I'll definitely read again
