Clockwork Angel by Cassandra ClareMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Great characters, but I found the plot a bit lacking. There was very much an assumption that readers had already read The Mortal Instruments series and thus knew all the background about Shadowhunters - which I had, but I dislike when I feel like a book is not whole on its own. Similarly the pace threw me off a bit: I kept feeling like I was still in the introductory phase, and didn't know very much about where the book was headed plot-wise, when I started noticing I was halfway through or three-quarters through the book. I realized it was one of those books that's written expressly as the first in a series - meaning that it doesn't stand quite as well on its own, and I feel less satisfied by the ending. That being said, I love the world created by Cassandra Clare and will definitely be reading Clockwork Prince to find out what the hell is going on with Will! (And what the hell Tessa is.)
