Quick Review: "Clockwork Princess" by Cassandra Clare


From Goodreads:  Tessa Gray should be happy - aren't all brides happy?  Yet as she prepares for her wedding, a net of shadows begins to tighten around the Shadowhunters of the London Institute.

A new demon appears, one linked by blood and secrecy to Mortmain, the man who plans to use his army of pitiless automatons, the Infernal Devices, to destroy the Shadowhunters. Mortmain needs only one last item to complete his plan. He needs Tessa. And Jem and Will, the boys who lay equal claim to Tessa's heart, will do anything to save her.


My Thoughts:  I can't believe it's over!  I have said it before and will say it again, the Infernal Devices is so much better than the Mortal Instruments. I loved this whole series and I loved the way the author wrapped it all up  

I could not put this book down at all!  I loved all the little romances that popped up and all the action that was going on as the Shadowhunters tried to fight and stop Mortmain.  I also enjoyed finally finding out the truth of Tessa's background, it wasn't exactly what I expected but it was still pretty cool!  The one thing I wasn't expecting was how emotional this book made me.  There were some really sad moments and some really surprising ones.  I almost want to go back and read some of the Mortal Instruments again after finishing this book because of some of the information that came to light.  I also must say that while I really like all of the characters in this series, I really love Magnus.  I want him to have his own book!

Clockwork Princess was a great finale to the Infernal Devices series.  I would recommend not looking at the family tree at the beginning of the book; there were so many spoilers on it!  I read a review that mentioned this so I had to try really hard not to look at it! Sorry for gushing so much but I think everyone should read this series because it is so awesome!  4 stars.

  1. I loved this book to! Definitely think this book is so much better than The Mortal Instruments, but I'm still looking forward to the next one. And the third trilogy about Jem's great-great-and-so-on niece. And yes, I'm the one who was spoiled by the family tree, but still wound up enjoying myself.

    And you know there are Magnus books right? She's doing them as a 10-part ebook series, although supposedly once they're all out there's plans to release them as a print book as well.

Review and Giveaway: "Distant Signs" by Anne Richter

Synopsis: Distant Signs is an intimate portrait of two families spanning three generations amidst turbulent political change, behind and beyond the Berlin Wall. In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a professor’s daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a small village in Thuringia. The couple struggle to contend with their different backgrounds, and the emotional scars they bear from childhood in the aftermath of war. As East German history gradually unravels, with collision of the personal and political, their two families’ hidden truths are quietly revealed. An exquisitely written novel with strongly etched characters that stay with you long after the book is finished and an authentic portrayal of family life behind the iron curtain based on personal experience of the author who is East German and was 16 years old at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Why do families repeat destructive patterns of behaviour across generations? Should the personal take precedence over

Top Ten Books I Recommend The Most

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . This week's topic:  Top Ten Books I Recommend the Most 1.) The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons   2.) Outlander by Diana Gabaldon           If you read my blog at all, you know I love these two books so much!  I am not afraid to suggest them to anyone who I think might enjoy them. 3.) The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - I was definitely recommending this book left and right when the first movie came out. 4.) The Fault in Our Stars by John Green 5.) A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin           These are two books that I just recently started recommending but they are books that can appeal to anyone so they are easy picks when someone asks for a recommendation. 6.) Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead  - I get a little embarrassed when I recommend this book to people but seriously, just because it has vampires does not mean it is like Twilight. 7.) The Giver by Lois
