Clockwork Princess
by Cassandra Clare
Danger and betrayal, secrets and enchantment in the breathtaking conclusion to the Infernal Devices trilogy
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.
So I enjoyed this book maybe a little more than the other two in the trilogy. It felt more developed to me, and the circular ending was fabulous. I think what made me love this book the most was probably the epilogue. If you’ve read it, feel free to message me about it, because I loved it. I refuse to talk about it in this review, because its something you need to read and cry over yourself.
Also the way both Will and Tessa each grew as characters really made me like them even though I generally dislike the dark angsty boy character type. In this book, Will’s love for Tessa made him grow as a person, and made him open up as a person. His poetry really was terrible, though. For a man who loved his words so much, he was not much of a poet. And poor, tortured Jem. I’m glad he finally got some closure, as well as a somewhat happy ending. He was very magnanimous, though, given the circumstances.
One of the things that bothered me about this book, as well as the other two, was the fact that there is never a chance to relax at all. No one ever had a chance to sit down and take a breather, even Henry. (I should probably mention that I absolutely adore Henry and his constant bewilderment with everything, but still managing to be amazing at everything.)
I kind of felt like this book tried to hard to give everyone as happy an ending as they could, though that’s not necessarily a bad thing? I don’t know how I feel about it, but yeah. And why isn’t Tessa aging?
I’m not the biggest fan of Cassandra Clare’s writing, but I did enjoy this series, despite not getting into her Mortal Instruments series at all. I’m giving it a 3.5 star rating.
