The last installment of Cassandra Clare's The Infernal Devices, Clockwork Princess, was amazing! I simply adore Cassandra Clare, and was so glad that she did not disappoint with her newest book.
Clockwork Princess begins with Tessa preparing for her wedding with Jem. Too bad her gown fitting is interrupted by Gabriel Lightwood, who says his father is no longer human. After the battle with Bendict Lightwood, Will and Tessa discover that Jem has been taking his "medicine" too much and is almost out. To which they soon find out that, Mortmain has seized the supply of the "medicine," and if they don't find a way to get it or heal Jem, he will die.
Mortmain finds a way to take Tessa from the Institute. To which she finds out his terrible plan, and why exactly he needs her. Tessa most learn how to control her power, so that she may save the ones she loves.
So, I did not go into as great as description of the book as I usually do because it would be too easy to give away important stuff, but I will say this, the book will not leave you bored. First, I have to say I simply love the setting in the Infernal Devices' books, and the steampunk element makes it just awesome. The characters are just written so wonderfully, and Ms. Clare does a great job in their relationships to each other. Tessa, Will, and Jem are probably some of my favorite YA characters ever. I find their love for each other beautiful, and don't we all want friendships like that. I love how you can see personalities of characters are similar to those of their descendants in The Mortal Instruments series.
One of the most amazing things she does with this book is bringing everything full circle. I, personally, can't wait to see how the events of this book may influence the last Mortal Instruments book, City of Heavenly Fire due out in May 2014.
If you have not read The Infernal Devices, what are you waiting for? And while you are at it, go ahead and check out Mortal Instruments. Oh, and did I mention, that the cover art for this book is simply fantastic.
