"Just. Amazing."
(The
clockwork angel one is in Dutch that's why the title is different.)
The
Infernal Devices series is, until now one of my favourite series of all times.
These books are written by Cassandra Clare and is another Shadow hunter trilogy
to go with the TMI series.
PLOT
The
story starts with Tessa Gray, Tessa is a girl that is introduced in the
beginning of the story. She lives with the dark sisters and is learning how to
use the powers that she possesses. This is not going very smoothly, since she
is whipped and abused when she is doing something wrong. A little bit later she
gets saved from the dark sister by a guy named Will. He takes her to the London
Institute. That's where Tessa meets another boy called Jem. And everyone here
will not think. "Love triangle." And that's exactly what happens in
the book. (You're welcome ;3)
Eventually
they all become very good friends, and they all discover new things about each
other.
But
one thing that they did not know was the fact that Mortmain one of the villains
in the Infernal Devices, is still looking for Tessa. He wants Tessa, because he
can use Tessa's gift to complete his dark plans. The London Institute gets
attacked multiple times in the series by the iron creatures that Mortmain
creates, this has some consequences in some parts of the books.
Jem
is a very special character here in the book , and people who really like Jem
will definitely like the epilogue in the end of book three 'Clockwork
Princess'. In the series Jem suffers from an illness, and has to take 'Yin
Fen'. Which is a powder that he takes to stay alive. He is aware that the Yin
Fen is killing him, but if he doesn't take it he will eventually die.
There
are many other things that are happening throughout the series. but writing it
all down would be writing a fourth book to this series.
MY OPINION
I
think this series might be one of my favourite series. The plot is first of all
amazingly thought through. And since I have not read the TMI (The Mortal
Instruments) series yet (I know I’m late I will do it someday.) These books
were a great starter to the writing of Cassandra Clare and I enjoyed them so
much. They made me laugh, they made me cry. And totally gave me a book hangover
in the end of every single book. Not only have I learned different things about
the Shadow hunter world, but I also learned a lot about the characters
themselves, because it just had so much character development. I couldn’t put
these books down! I just loved them so much.
When
I first picked up the first book. I was not aware by whom it was written. And
the name didn't really sound familiar as well. But later on when I discovered
that it was the writer of the TMI series, I knew it was going to be a good
read. Since my friends talked about this book a lot too.
I'm
now planning to read the series in order. (Infernal devices, TMI, and
eventually lady midnight). And since I started with the Infernal Devices first,
I think it will be a great opportunity for me to read them beautifully in
order. And of course enjoy the best out of it.
I
really enjoyed every single word that was written in this book, and wouldn't
want to change anything about it. It gets a total of 5 stars in my Goodreads
list, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves a bit of fantasy, magic, and
epicness ♥
