Clockwork Princess (The Infernal Devices #3)

Oh wow, I am so excited to write this.

I love this trilogy and this book... And this was probably my favourite out of the trilogy.

And guess what? Guess who owns a Collector's Edition? Uh huh. This girly does.

This book. This freaking book. It made me: angry, happy, sad, want to curl up in a ball and scream, coo constantly at all the characters, and go kick some ass with Charlotte.

But seriously though, Charlotte is kick ass and she's just my favorite character.

I like really like the plot to this book and how the Lightwood family were incorporated into it - it was just beautiful guys (so are Gideon and Gabriel actually); and the demise of Benedict Lightwood made me laugh, honestly, what a brilliant way to kill off a character people hate (you just have to WORMIFY them.)

And let's not forget Tessa's story line and history, am I the only one who wasn't expecting it? And found it really quite clever? I probably was probably the only one who didn't see it coming. BUT STILL, I wasn't expecting it and found myself smiling for her when Aloysius offered up his home.

Also, the new Infernal Devices are so clever, birlliant and deadly that I wanted one - is that bad? But I mean, they are pretty cool , even if they are demons - ITS JUST SO CLEVER. Let's not forget, Tessa's clockwork angel, which was just a beautiful way to explain it all - even though I had guessed this one (FINALLY).

The only things that may have tinted the greatness of this book are the fact there are too many romances and how quickly Mortmian was deafeated, I mean all Tessa had to do was change and pick him up, thus killing him and all his clockwork creatures; it sound's like Cassandra Clare was running out of ideas. Even though the romances were adorable (especially Gideon and Sohpie - my heart sings at the thought of the two of them), there were far too many and I felt it became too much like a romance novel at the end of it.

I'm a also a bit disappointed with the Collector's Edition - all I can find that is different is the size (slightly annoying), and the fact it has a family tree at the back - did I miss anything?

Overall, I did love this book and series. Even though I find this hard to believe, if you haven't read the trilogy, do it now - it is phenomenal (and maybe slightly better than the Mortal Instruments?)

Until next time lovely readers.
