Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare

So, it's hard to keep writing these little review thingies for multiple books in the same series. I mean, awesome though I may be, even I struggle with pithy turn of phrase and brilliant observations from time to time. Also, it's not like I'm in a significantly different mindset or found the book in some interesting way. I think sometimes, that's why I run out of steam for blog posts when I'm working my way through a long series.

However, that doesn't mean that the book isn't worthy of a post. Clockwork Princess, the last book in the Infernal Devices series, is an excellent finale. I'm not a terribly sentimental person but some books just really jab me in the tear box. I spent the last 50 pages snuffling and tearing up. It really just did me in.

So! Excellent third book that ties up all the major plot lines and resolves all the romantic sub-plots. I actually really like how Clare resolved the two boys for one girl thing. It's not the kind of thing that would work in other worlds and was a neat solution.

Tessa starts the book planning her wedding to Jem while the Institute as a whole still searches for Mortmain. Will, is taking the high road and supporting the relationship between his parabatai and the woman he loves. Everyone seems to be be struggling and the Shadowhunter Consul wants Charlotte out.

Excellent read.
