Cassandra Clare, I don't know what I would do without you.
I started Clockwork Angel after finishing City of Glass, following Cassandra Clare's recommended reading order. It was really interesting to read a very different perspective about the Shadowhunter world. Tessa, growing up in the late 1800s has pretty antiquated (well, not antiquated for the time) views about women. She can't comprehend women going into battle as violence and bloodthirst just aren't, in her opinion, things women are capable of. Unlike Clary, who is constantly trying to prove herself despite being held back by those who care about her, Tessa's own views about women are what holds her back.
I don't typically think of magic and steampunk as things that typically go together. It turns out I am 100% wrong. I am absolutely in love with this world. And it's so cool how different but also the same it feels to the world the Mortal Instruments.
I assume that these books will start tying in with the Mortal Instruments based on the reading order. Very excited to hopefully see some of the elements from this story in City of Fallen Angels.
Buy Clockwork Angel on Amazon
