Mind the tags but think about them in the context of a YA fantasy series that centers around angel warriors that hunt demons and deal with supernatural creatures, such as warlocks, vampires, werewolves, etc. Additionally, the sexism is period-typical sexism and misogyny.

Creo que el fuerte principal del libro es la fantasía, los secretos y revelaciones, si bien hay romance (para mi), no es el tema más atractivo, o quizás es que personalmente los intereses amorosos de esta autora no me terminan de convencer y para mi llegó incluso a ser innecesario. Es interesante ver un romance de época y como se ve el rol de la mujer según la protagonista y los cazadores de sombras. Recomendado y no es necesario haber leído la saga principal para entender la trama/mundo.

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.

Cassandra Clare's world of shadow hunters and demons is exactly the fabulous escapism I remembered it to be from my childhood. Nostalgic and comforting, it is easy to be swept along in the adventure and stakes. The deeply internalised sexism in some of the characters was painful to bare at times, and I had forgotten that Will Herondale is such an emotionally stunted ass. But the Clockwork Angel is an otherwise gorgeously atmospheric found family drama, delightfully infused with supernatural politics and battle.
