I adore Cassandra Clare's series. So addictive!
The love triangle between Tessa, Will and Jem broke my heart.
Diving into the next in the series, Clockwork Princess, straight away!

I think overall my enjoyment of this trilogy is nostalgic based and rereading them has not been the best for me. I enjoy the world, but these characters actually bother me more than I remember them doing so.
I'm glad I read this right after “Clockwork Angel”. This book didn't skip a beat from the first book. Some of Tessa's decisions were a little annoying, but the story itself was interesting. Hopefully the last book in the series will tie up all the loose ends. I am expecting a lot of drama and action.
Maybe I'm too old to be reading these books, but the abundance of kissing and thinking about kissing, as opposed to Defending Good and Kicking Ass, turned me off somewhat. So sayeth the old fuddy-duddy.
