Add in the clockwork angels, automatons, and steam powered inventions and you have one perfectly constructed Steampunk novel! As most of you know, I am a sucker for a Byronic hero…I love the romanticism that goes a long with the agonizing gothic hero….there is just something desperately attractive about gothic heros and their tales of unrequited love and their secrets. Tales or betrayal, lies, deception, and unrequited love all cloak this book in a silky velvet darkness that fully encompasses all the characters and plot not just a singular aspect of the story. In the midst of all the YA romance there is a richly satisfying mystery and adventure. For me, other YA sagas such as Twilight, the love story overpowered the action and adventure, especially in the second book making it less enjoyable but in this series….there was a delicate balance which made it exceptionally hard to put down! While romance is a huge part of this latest book, it does not over power the adventure. Clare flawlessly blends action, sci-fi/fantasy, YA, pararomance, and steampunk together magically. All of which await eager readers in Cassandra Clare’s latest installment of The Infernal Devices, Clockwork Prince. The story continues in Clockwork Prince and Clockwork Princess.Lies.
