The Infernal Devices Trilogy by Cassandra Clare
Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince and Clockwork Princess
The prequels to the popular Mortal Instruments Series
I have been going back and forth on whether I was going to read the
Mortal Instruments for years. I watched the movie to see if I would like the
premise of the story or not. It’s a big
taboo of mine to not read the book first but I went for it anyway. I didn’t
mind the movie but some of my friends who are part of the Shadowhunter fandom
weren’t fans of the movie. When the TV show came out I thought about reading
the series but at that part there were some many books tied to the Shadow World
I didn’t know where to start so I went with what I thought would be best based
on the timeline. I read a Clockwork Angel in a day. I found everything about
Shadowhunters and their world to be fascinating and a rush. There are so many
twist and turns in the three stories, always keeping on edge to the very end. I
just finished the third and finale book of the trilogy, Clockwork Princess last
night/early this morning and the ending left me shocked.
The three books focus on Tessa Gray, a girl who just moved for New
York to London to be with her brother. The second she steps on London soil she
is taken and witches and held captive. There she is constantly focus to use her
special gift, shape-shifting. Eventually she is rescued by Shadowhunters,
unintentionally, Will Herondale and Jem Carstairs. From there on it is a continuous
battle to keep Tessa away from Mortmain who wants to use her gift as part of
his plan to take out all the Shadowhunters. During her stay at the London
Institute Tessa becomes the love interest for Will and Jem which adds on to the
intensity of her situation. In the end,
Mortmain’s plan comes into effect and it’s up to the Shadowhunters of the
London Institute to fight to save the Shadow World and Tessa.
