Review Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare.

Clockwork Angel
By Cassandra Clare
Margaret K. McElderry; First Edition edition
496 p.


I waited a lot for this book, I actually preorder it, but since I buy it from The Book Depository, it took almost a month to arrive home, so it was a very expected book. I was so happy when I got it and so eager to reading it. The cover is gorgeous it totally transport us to the specific era in which this story is settled.
Ok we all know Cassandra Clare and we all know what an amazing and wonderful writer she is, but she really truly surprise you every time. I didn’t want to read this book, because I thought nothing could compere or improve what I read on The Mortal Instruments, definitely I was wrong. Don’t misunderstand me, I totally love and will always do love Clary and Jace, and Magnus and Alec, and everything around TMI, but Clockwork Angel really caught me, the atmosphere of the story, the London Cassie describe us, the darkness in it, the mystery in it, and a bunch of great characters make of this one of my favorite books of the 2010.
Tessa Grey is a young lady that for some tragic circumstances is leaving her life in America to travel to the old, dark and humid London. She is excited and worried at the same time, but knowing she will finally be with her older brother make her feel in some way safer, but things didn’t work out that way; instead she was capture by a couple of terrible women and things get very complicated. Tessa will discover some secrets of her past, will learn not to judge only by the looks, will learn not to trust and will know some people that will turn upside down her world.
As you get into the story, it involves you and you really feel transported to London, to a dark and mysterious city, surrounded by evil creatures and much worst people that will make you feel afraid, no one can help you , and the ones who can don’t completely trust you, that’s Tessa’s reality, and she must deal with it. Here we met Will and Jem best friends, both shadow hunters, both young and attractive men, that for different reasons will feel attracted to Tessa. The tender in Jem, the bravery in Will make them both great main characters, you cannot stop reading about them, you just want to get more.
We also see a so love character from TMI Magnus, and I think this part of his life, make me love him even more. All the other characters on the book are amazing, and I feel like we could have a book just for every character cause all their stories are very interesting, wishing Cassie have tons of time to write about every of them.
The end is such a cliffhanger, I couldn’t believe it was it, and I can hardly wait to read the sequel.
I really, strongly recommend this book to you, and if you haven’t read TMI series, you MUST, for me, Cassandra Clare earn 5 Crazy Book Cats!!

Solo faltan unos días para el lanzamiento de Clockwork Angel de Cassandra Clare!!!

Clockwork Angel
(The Infernal Devices #1)
by Cassandra Clare
Margaret K. McElderry
August 2010
496 p.

La Magia es peligrosa, pero el Amor es mas peligroso aún.
Cuando Tessa Gray de 16 años, cruza el océano para encontrar a su hermano, su destino es Inglaterra, en el tiempo de la Reina Victoria, y algo aterrador está esperando por ella en el Bajo Mundo de Londres, donde vampiros, magos y otros seres sobrenaturales circulan las calles. Solo los Cazadores de Sombras, guerreros que se dedican a librar al mundo de los demonios, mantienen un poco el caos.
Secuestrada por las Dark Sisters, miembros de una secreta organización llamada el Pandemonioum Club, Tessa pronto se da cuenta que ella misma es una ser del Bajo Mundo, con una extraña habilidad: el poder de transformarse en cualquier otra persona. Peor aún, el Magister, el obscuro ser que rige el club, está a punto de reclamar ese poder para sí mismo.
Perseguida y sin amigos, Tessa busca refugio en el Instituto de Londres de los Cazadores de Sombras, quienes juran encontrar a su hermano si ella usa sus poderes para ayudarlos a ellos. Ella pronto se encuentra fascinada—y dividida—entre dos mejores amigos: James, cuya fragil belleza esconde un secreto mortal y el ojiazul Will, cuyo ingenio y cambios de humor volátiles mantienen a todos en su vida distantes . . . a todos menos a Tessa. Mientras su búsqueda los lleva a l corazon de un antiguo complot que amenaza con destruir a los Cazadores de Sombras, Tessa se da cuenta que ella talvez tendrá que escoger entre salvar a su hermano y ayudar a sus nuevos amigos a salvar el mundo . . . y que el amor puede ser la magia mas peligrosa de todas.

Clockwork Angel
(The Infernal Devices #1)
by Cassandra Clare
Margaret K. McElderry
August 2010
496 p.

Magic is dangerous—but love is more dangerous still.
When sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother, her destination is England, the time is the reign of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is waiting for her in London's Downworld, where vampires, warlocks and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets. Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos.

Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Sisters, members of a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club, Tessa soon learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform, at will, into another person. What’s more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own.

Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them. She soon finds herself fascinated by—and torn between—two best friends: James, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and blue-eyed Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm's length . . . everyone, that is, but Tessa. As their search draws them deep into the heart of an arcane plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world. . . . and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all.
