In Which I Review... Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

Put this book off for a long while, honestly, because I didn't want to pay retail for it, because it's high (even the paperbacks). But I happened across this in an Ollie's and of course, I picked it up.

I was shocked. I didn't think I'd like it as much as I did, but I loved it! Cassie Clare transported me into the past, and did so in a way that was consistent with the time frame, and most importantly, exciting.

There's nothing worse than a book that's so boring it makes your eyes ache. Clockwork Angel was not that book.

The beginning of the book starts off a little slow, so I can understand why some people might not get through it right away, but it's a necessary slow, building up to a complex world.

Luckily, I stuck through it because after the first small handful of pages, you become so emerged in the story that the pace seems to pick up and you don't mind spending hours reading.

I finished reading it in a day and I swear I forgot all about how lengthy it is, I devoured all 512 pages of the book, including every little thing Clare has to say after the end.

And hours later, I took a late night driving lesson with my grandmother and insisted that I drive to the store, where I promptly spent ten bucks on the paperback of Clockwork Prince, even though I have a hardback of Angel (and I like them to be synonymous in form), because the store didn't have it in hardback, which I mostly likely would bought.

I'm pretty sure in a few days time I'll be clambering to find Clockwork Princess (or mourning over not getting it yesterday because I ended up spending all of my money.)

Then it's on to TMI...
*sigh*

I now have the Cassie Clare bug.
And to the dozens upon dozens of friends and my lovely Listers who hammered the thought of reading Cassie Clare's novels into my brain, thank you.

I'm not sure if I want to hug you or strangle you, because I'm so obsessed.

Yes, this review is more of an overview, but I'll say this.

The main characters are likeable, and then you have Will, who fits perfectly into that tortured bad boy who we can't help but drool over category.

Jessamine is a headache you can't hate.

And yes, there is a twist that isn't so predictable but that is totally believable. (There's few things worse than reading a book and then having a twist that's so predictable your stomach boils or a twist where the character who turns out to be nefarious was barely mentioned in the entire novel.

I wouldn't have suspected the truth, so thank you Miss Cassandra Clare for that.

Now, off to read Clockwork Prince. I'm twenty eight pages in and Will has already made me mad *insert smiley here*.
Jem as usual is the perfect gentleman.
I'm conflicted.

Okay, I'm leaing, I'm leaving...

(sheesh, bookreaders) *shake head*
