spoilre free review :
if you read the first books in the mortal instruments before you read clockwork angel you would see how she grew as a writer her writing is so much better in this book it was elegant and easy to understand, i heard people say that through out her books you will see her grow more as a writer which is something i really respect and i can’t wait to see.
the plot is full of action and heart breaking moments and i don’t know the story will evolve in the next books which is something really exciteing, but there were things that were kind of predictable .
the world building is good makes me have a more precise idea of the life in london back in the days and i really want to see more of it.
the problem i had with this book is that i sometimes i didn’t feel it is that different from TMI it’s like the characters in TMI are back in time and playing other people some moment her characters in this series aren’t the different from TMI .
it’s the first book and two more books are still to be read so there is room for more development and i really enjoyed this one i can’t wait to continue on with this trilogy .

that plot twist though nate wasn’t acting wasn’t that convincing HA !! poor tessa but it was done nicely the action that followed was so nerve recking i couldn’t stop reading!
the love triangle in this trilogy i suspected i would hate it ( even though nobody confessed their love to each other but it’s pretty obvious there will be love triangle besides i was spoiled for this one ) but i don’t i did in the first book at least i mean tessera’s feelings are kind of understandable!! and jem’s at least except for will damn him!! i want to know the story with that boy!!
there are so much mystery and questions left unanswered in this book like tessa’s mom story and will’s past and i hoped they won’t be revealed in this book just to keep the anticipation .

QOUTES I LIKED
” the less you had the more careful you had to be about everything you did have “
” certainly it would be wonderful if we all knew exactly who we were but that knowledge doesn’t come from outside but from inside ”
“”whatever you are physically ” he said,” male or female strong or weak ill or healthy all those things matter less than what your heart contains if you have the soul of a warrior you are a warrior whatever the colour the shape the design of the shade that conceals it the flame inside the lamp remains the same you are that flame”
“” one must always be careful of books ” said tessa,” and what is inside them for words have the power to change us””
