I'm not sure how I feel about Clockwork Princess. I enjoyed it, but I feel like the book was written to make everyone happy. (If you've read it, you know what I mean and please feel free to discuss in the comments.) I was excited, entertained, riveted throughout the story. I love that Tessa comes into her own. I do like that her end and Jem's wasn't as "neat" as Cassandra Clare could have written it. I loved all the connections to The Mortal Instruments series. I loved that a man took a woman's name. There were so many good things about Clockwork Princess. I may wonder about the end, but I loved it too. So, even if Clare did write it to please as many people as possible, I think it was successful. Or maybe I'm just jaded because I've read several series where central characters are killed off....
The Infernal Devices is a great series. I can see myself reading it years down the road when I needs something fun and exciting. I also think it was a lot of fun to read it staggered with the last three books of The Mortal Instruments. I wonder what the connections will be when I read City of Heavenly Fire. I can't really say anything else without giving away the whole book. I feel spoilery even mentioning Henry's red hair! I'm hoping though, that we'll see Tessa again one day.
