Clockwork Angel, Volume 1
Clockwork Angel, Volume 1 | Cassandra Clare
Magic is dangerous--but love is more dangerous still. Discover the riveting first book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Infernal Devices Trilogy, prequel to the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series. Magic is dangerous--but love is more dangerous still. When sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother, her destination is England, the time is the reign of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is waiting for her in London's Downworld, where vampires, warlocks and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets. Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos. Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Sisters, members of a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club, Tessa soon learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform, at will, into another person. What's more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own. Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them. She soon finds herself fascinated by--and torn between--two best friends: James, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and blue-eyed Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm's length . . . everyone, that is, but Tessa. As their search draws them deep into the heart of an arcane plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world. . . . and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all.

“It was a long time before Tessa could sleep again. She lay awake, the Codex open at her side, the Clockwork Angel ticking at her chest, and she watched the lamplight trace patterns across the ceiling.”

My sister in law and mutual book lover gifted me with this lovely 10th anniversary edition of Clockwork Angel. This last year Cassandra Clare has been my number 1 read author for sure. The Infernal Devices series is just perfection. Currently reading Chain of Gold! #YA #prettyeditions #shadowhunters #infernaldevices

This is my second time to read. Forgot how funny this read was. It also blew my mind after read reading the first three books of the immortal instruments.

Just a great YA book. It gave me Ruby Red vibes for a comparison. The initial phases of a love triangle doesn‘t even bother me. I am genuinely compelled by both Will and Jem. I liked the protagonist, Tessa; she is neither simpering nor insane with over confidence. Also the steampunk aesthetic is always fun. #Steampunk #YA

4.5/5⭐
I'm so excited for The Infernal Devices, and book 1 didn't let me down! Even though he's such an ass, I love Will. I feel like I'll enjoy this series more than the Mortal Instruments, but that is only because I prefer an older time period. I greatly appreciate the little Easter eggs and previous characters sprinkled in this book from TMI. I wanted to read TID first, but happy I didn't.
🕰️⚙️😇
Any recommendations on reading order?

Asthecroweflies If you read the rest of them you will find out why Will is the way he is. These books are my favorites out of the whole Shadowhunter books! 3y

Greatly entertaining! My oldest child has wanted me to read this series for years, and I finally picked it up. It's packed with actions, intrigue, and monsters. Fun young adult lit.

Loops I liked The Infernal Devices trilogy too - although, The Mortal Instruments series is still my favorite of the Shadowhunters Chronicles. Cassandra Clare has a fantastic writing style! I hope you and your oldest child enjoy the others as well! 3y

My 2nd read through. I struggled to get through it the 1st time round but my 2nd read time was much more successful. My 1st read was my 1st introduction into the Shadowhunter's world & whilst its not required to have read any of Mortal Instruments books first, I think it helps

An enjoyable read, if not as much as I enjoyed the Mortal Instruments.

LazyOwl Set some generations before the mortal instruments, the women in this story struggle with societal constraints & expectations. Nevertheless there are strong female characters in this book. 4y

I preferred this book over the first 3 mortal Instruments book.
This is a separate series to Mortal Instruments however some characters do make an appearance such as Magnus Bane, one of my favourite characters.

Would definitely recommend reading this book if you enjoyed mortal Instruments.

Between a Pick and a So-So.
While I believe this has the makings to be a five-star book, a steampunk-ish plot, likable characters, and a fabulous ending...it failed to spike any real emotion from me. Definitely, a case for it's not you, it's me. No matter how hard I try I can't seem to re-spark my interest in this genre.

I loved this book! I‘ve heard such great things about this author and Clockwork Angel felt like the perfect introduction to the shadowhunter world. I‘m taking a brief hiatus from the trilogy for my book club‘s pick, but I can‘t wait to read the second book! 📚

Confession: I HATE love triangles, but good lord is this the only series that will ever get me to cry over a freaking love triangle. The story did stray from the main plot & started to heavily focus on the love story which was kind of bummer for me, we got some more answers but could have had more. But the last two chapters kept breaking my heart and making me cry, so here I am still loving this. Also I absolutely adore & love Henry and Charlotte.

The setting, the plot, these characters, I like! The story stayed on track & never deviated or focused to heavily on the love triangle, which I am grateful for. Tessa is smart, Will is a beautiful jerk, & Jem is a precious bean. The mechanical plot is so out of left field but I love it! Tessa‘s ability is interesting. Jem is my favorite & his backstory left me teary eyed. oh & then there is Thomas & Sophie I like them, gah my heart with this one.

This has been an awesome read. As always Cassandra Clare has produced another fabulous book that I have enjoyed thoroughly. There are a lot of twists and turns with some really unexpected storylines...
I remain very confused about Will and his reactions to Tessa. But more curious about how Jem will fair in the future. Also I really want to know if the Branwell's will remain heads of the Institute!
