Review
To begin with I wasn't going to buy or read this series because I had heard to continue reading Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments series it wasn't necessary that I read this. However I was at Waterstones one day in September and as if by magic this book made it into my hands, and I DO NOT regret buying it. Although the first few chapters didn't hook me in right away once I gave Clockwork Angel a chance I found myself immersed in the streets of Victorian England and caught up in Tessa's emotions. Cassandra Clare obviously did her research and everything right down to her writing style adapted to suit the Victorian era. I highly recommend this book and I am eagerly awaiting Clockwork Prince. What an ending!
