Clockwork Angel by Cassandra ClareMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
OH. MY. GOD. THIS BOOK THO. I've read it once before and fell in love with it-I fell in love with the world building, the characters (Will Herondale) and honestly, this book was very very beautiful and I loved it-loved it enough to get the second book.
Tessa Gray comes to Victorian England to find her brother Nathaniel, but instead she meets the Dark Sisters who keeps her in their house and trains her to use her power, which is shape-changing. She hates it there until the Sisters tell her that she's going to marry a man called the Magister. She refuses until that one night when the Shadowhunters Jem and Will came in and saved her, killing one of the Sisters.
She then goes to the Institute where she meets Charlotte, Henry, Sophie, Thomas and Jessamine, where she feels safe for once until a vampire named Camille appeared, telling them about de Quincey and how he was breaking a Law. So changing into Camille, she and Will went to the party and met up with Magnus Bane (in which I would like to say....I WANT TO CLIMB THE MAN LIKE A TREE...I love you Will, but MAGNUS THO.) and then went to one of the secret parties, where de Quincey was about to munch on Tessa's brother Nathaniel.
Shocked, they saved Nathaniel and killed some of the vampires in the room, de Quincey swearing to kill Camille/Tessa. Grabbing Nathaniel, they took him back to the Institute, where they brought him back to health and waited for just a while until he showed his true colors once the clockwork automation attacked both Jem and Tessa on their trip to the Blackfrair Bridge.
And how did they get in, you ask?
Outside of the Insitute, one of the automations wounded Jem, using his blood to get in and kill Agatha and Thomas, thus forcing Sophie, Jessamine and Tessa to hide in the Sanctuary, but Nate was there, telling her the real truth before Jessamine bashed him in the head using a lamp.
Then the Magister tricked Tessa, using Will's voice so that Jessamine could open the door, and the Magister ordered the two automations to hold Sophie and Jessamine while he talked to Tessa, almost forcing her to change into someone by the initials J.T.S., but she didn't do it. He also revealed that she might not be Tessa Gray-her face, that is-and before he took another step, she changed to the woman who died before and wounded the Magister. But once it was all over and the Magister disappeared, Charlotte offered Tessa to stay at the Insitute, and she does.
I do recommend this book a whole lot because it's really, really good!!!
