In the last few days, I have begun to get back to my reading stride, and began and finished the book, The Clockwork Angel, by Cassandra Clare. Some of you might have heard of her, she also wrote, The City of Bones, City of Ashes, and City of Glass. This book and the two that will come after it are prequels of the three novels that I just named. They are related, and unrelated in different ways, but they are all about the same world just at different times. These books do not have to be read in succession, but I would recommend reading the City books first, and then the Clockwork ones, because it is easier to understand in my opinion.
Cassandra Clare writes about a world full of Shadow hunters, demons, vampires, werewolves, fairies, warlocks, and mundanes. She writes mostly fantasy, but there is also usually romance mixed in with her books, and I will have to say that I love the amount that she has of each in all four of her books that I have read thus far.
This particular book is about a girl named Tessa, who has lost her brother, and goes to England to find him. What she does find is a world that she never knew about, but a world that she belongs to whether she wants to or not. In this new world, she meets Jem and Will, and they go about saving the world, and trying to find her brother as well. I love her strong female characters, which in fantasy is rare, and how those characters develop so much in one book, as well as over three books. I enjoy the characters that she creates, and the relationships she makes, as well as the imagery she uses to bring you into this fantastic fantasy world. These three characters, and more get into some amazing fights, relationships, issues, and problems during the novel which keep you turning pages until you are finished.
Over the years, I have become such a huge fan of fantasy, and find that it is a seriously underrated genre especially for young adult literature until recently. If you like fantasy, love, or young adult literature then these are the books for you.
