I started this book a LOOOOONG time ago, but I never really did, cause it starts out kinda slow. As much as I love the Mortal Instruments series, I only read the first couple chapters of Clockwork Angel & then let myself get sidetracked with different books. So it laid in my DNF pile for a while. I finally got back to it, and this time fully let myself sit with the book, and I loved it!! The characters are so sweet and enjoyable, Tessa is just the sweetest girl who’s life gets turned upside down, Will is badass and sweet (though he doesn’t want anyone to know) despite keeping everyone at arms length, and Jem is such a beautiful soul and such a sweetheart. And though you spend the whole book searching for the villain, the Magister, I think the true villain comes out of nowhere and kicks you in the ass! Overall, I definitely recommend this book for any lover of fantasy and specifically the Shadowhunters world that Cassandra Clare has created!

as a main character, tessa is more interesting to follow than clary primarily because of the mystery concerning her existence. i do miss my malec tho but this copy had a delightful bonus story with magnus' pov, which i enjoyed. i'm not incredibly intrigued by the romance or the love triangle as others seem to be; both boys are enjoyable characters, but the romance is not particularly exciting so far. i'm more interested in the plot than the romance. 4 stars for the plot and characters and for being a fun read, but missing that last star for not living up to my expectations in the romance department and for being a bit slow at times.

I forgot how much I love this story, and the narrator captures it beautifully. I love her voices amd characterization of each person throughout the book.
