Clockwork Prince was a fantastic sequel in the Infernal Devices series! It had everything I love in a great steampunk/paranormal read: plotting, betrayal and plenty of action. There was a lot of character growth, relationships became stronger and we even travelled to York. I think because I knew the characters, I fell into this book easier and enjoyed the world so much more than the first book.
I liked seeing Tessa use her gift more. It is becoming easier for her and it really is a valuable asset for the Shadowhunters. She is able to get information while people don't realise it's her. The relationships that she has built with Jem and Will become quite complicated through this story and it kept me wondering which way things would go. But no matter what, they will sacrifice anything to save one another.
As the story unfolded, I was more and more drawn to the gripping plot. There are challenges at every turn and they manage to work well as a team. The people at the London institute are like a family and it was nice to see what they would do for one another. There are a lot of secrets revealed throughout this book too, some of which caught me by surprise. I also liked seeing more into other Shadowhunters, especially the Lightwood family.
I have enjoyed the way Cassandra has set this book up for the final showdown. I still have a lot of questions that need answers and I am looking forward to getting them in Clockwork Princess.
As you know, I already read this series and loved it. So glad you're enjoying it too. I think you're going to love Clockwork Princess. Can't wait to see what you think of the ending.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy Mother's day tomorrow and get spoiled by your family.
Yeah, I planned to read this and the MI series, but never got around to it. I honestly don't know if I ever will. But when I see reviews like this, it just makes me want to!
ReplyDeletegah I am missing out, really want to read this series. I did not read the other one she wrote, but this one sounds good.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I actually liked Clockwork Angel more than Clockwork Prince. I think I struggled with this because I HATE love triangles so much. But I did like this. I still haven't read Clockwork Princess. I'm so nervous!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! I'm glad you loved this one, Naomi! I really need to get caught up. (that's the story of my life *ha*) Awesome review, my dear!
ReplyDeleteI read and LOVED Clockwork Angel so much that I preordered BOTH Clockwork Prince and Clockwork Princess, but I haven't read them yet! I know! It's terrible. But I will soon, and I'm so glad you liked this one ;)
ReplyDeleteI was spoiled, for sure! And I am looking forward to finishing this series!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see I may persuade you!! lol They are both a good series, but you really have to enjoy the YA Paranormal/Steampunk Genre I think.
ReplyDeleteThey both are great and I love both worlds... The magic, action and paranormal... love it
ReplyDeleteYeah, love triangles don't bother me so much, keeps me in suspense! I'm reading Clockwork Princess soon!
ReplyDeleteTell me about it! I'm looking forward to finishing it!
ReplyDeleteI am picking up Clockwork Princess VERY soon! Looking forward to the ending!
ReplyDeleteI love Will. Jem is great but he's not Will. The next one is crazy. It was brilliant. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteOoh... I am really looking forward to it now! I love both the boys, but you can see that Will and Tessa belong together. I don't want them to break Jem though... Argh!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! I am so happy to see you enjoyed Clockwork Prince!! It makes me want to go and reread this books now... I love Will & Jem but I am totally #TeamJem!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading :) Chanzie @ Mean Who You Are.

ReplyDeleteI SO need to catch up on some of these awesome series that I've been missing out on. I'm deliberately signing up for very few blog tours in June so that I can read all the books I've been meaning to read!! (Okay, some of them - let's face it, it would take me years to read them all).

Haha!! I know! Most blog tours I sign up to lately have been promotional ones and no reviewing... it is just too much sometimes!
