There is so much to say about this book but whenever I try to think of the words I draw a blank. It is the first book in Cassandra Clare's new series The Infernal Devices. The Infernal Devices is predicted to have two more books in the series the first of which, Clockwork Prince, to be released in December of this year and the third installment of the series, Clockwork Princess, to be released a year after that.
This was a wonderful beginning to what should be, judging by the brilliance and success of The Mortal Instruments, a smashing success and a joy to read and it does not disappoint. The story is set in Victorian London and has all our favourite families involved as well as Magnus Bane who has swiftly grown to be my favourite character of Cassandra's creation.
Thus far it has reminded me a lot of Philip Pullmans Sally Lockhart Quartet. The feel of the books are very similar, the both take place in the same time period, have an air of mystery and were very fast paced.
I give Clockwork Angel 7 necklaces out of 10. It didn't quite live up to my expectations but The Mortal Instruments is hard to compare to other books after I was so blown away by it. I would recommend this book to anyone who has read Cassandra Clare's other books but would advise you to go into it with an open mind. If you haven't read any of Cassandra Clare's books I would recommend starting with The Mortal Instruments mostly because the story is mostly complete and waiting for the next book in a series to come out is a pain.
