Book Three of The Infernal Devices - spoiler alert! (It's kind of hard to explain this book without telling you what happened in Book Two.)
Tessa and Jem are preparing for their wedding before it is too late for Jem. However, their plans are interrupted when Mortmain sends his automatons to kidnap Tessa. He is almost ready to unleash the demon he will use to kill the Shadowhunters, but he needs Tessa to complete his plan. Both Will and Jem will do anything to rescue Tessa, but they might not be able to muster the force to get her back.
You know you're behind on your blog posts when you hardly remember what the book was about. Sorry, guys . . . I've been slacking lately. It was a close call between books and exams, but somehow the AP and ACT and SAT subject tests and finals won out. Go figure.
Anyway, I liked the first two books in this series a lot, but Clockwork Princess let me down a bit. Maybe it was anticlimactic, maybe it was a little too perfect. I remember not being a fan of the way the love triangle was resolved for that reason. Things just don't work out that easily in life. That's not to say it was a bad book - it was good, and I know people who have followed this series and thought this was the best installment of the three. Although it wasn't my favorite of the three, if you read the first two books, I'd still recommend reading this one so you can see what happens and decide for yourself what you think of it all.
Rating: 3/5
