It’s a very interesting read, and if readers are a fan of The Mortal Instruments series, this will definitely be something worth checking out. She can morph into anyone who has passed, and they want her. These clockwork figures have all come alive to come after one thing. The plot to the story is when machines come alive they aren’t going to play nice. Yet these characters live in the 19th century, and live in London. This novel is the first in the trilogy where we meet characters that have the same last names as the characters we met in the Mortal Instruments. Again with the beautiful covers! Clockwork AngelĬlockwork Angel by: Cassandra Clare: A new series from Cassandra Clare, based on her already existing series The Mortal Instruments. Taking place in the year 1878 we meet characters who have relevance to the modern day Shadowhunters. The writing in this series was just really well done, and the characters, I just loved them more they felt more real. A prequel to the Mortal Instruments comes the Infernal Devices. I didn’t think I’d like a series by Clare more than the Mortal Instruments, but I was wrong. I also read this series back in high school/university. Today I’m reviewing The Infernal Devices trilogy. I think this week I’ll be posting the majority of her work. Hi, today I’ve decided to post another Cassandra Clare series.
