Clockwork Angel

Clockwork Angel (2010) Cassandra Clare

Tessa Gray has come to London from New York after her aunt dies and her brother sends her a ticket to join him. Unfortunately, there are some unpleasant surprises for Tessa, starting with the fact that the world is not as she knows it, and this underworld is very interested in Tessa.

Jem and Will are demon hunters or a sort. They belong to a group that lives only to keep the monsters from taking over. Of course, they’re still minors, and so they aren’t full members. Not that it keeps either of them off the streets.

This is a Victorian, Steampunk, Fantasy, Romance. What’s not to love about it?

This YA has only one problem–the epilogue. Which totally opens up the next book. Bah. Aside from that–wonderful!. Although there are unanswered questions, the major story arc is complete, and we aren’t left hanging. Which is always important.

On the other hand, book two may be out, but book three isn’t, so I’m totally not reading book two until three is at least available.

And… I just realized that I started reading Cassandra Clare’s other YA series, Mortal Instruments, but somehow hadn’t gotten past the first book. I think I need to remedy that, right quick.
Rating: 7/10
