6 enjoyed the bouquet.:
Clockwork Angel... where to start...
I LOVED the book! It was a little slow to catch me, but by the time I got to the endish I was hooked.
Favorite characters... I loved them all... except for Nate and whatshisface... the big bad guy.
Surprises... hm... only Thomas's death. I teared up a bit then. Oh, and that I like Will over Jem. I would've thought that I'd like Jem, but apparently I have a thing for the Herondale's.
I hope Tessa ends up being not a Downworlder! I don't have anything against them, it's just that I really want her and Will or Jem to become a couple. (I would say "get together" but the book's in Victorian times and my mind's still in their manners set... I've been switching between "Proper English" and everyday English for a few days.)
I have no idea what Will's asking Magnus... I can't wait to find out though!
I have heard both good & bad things about this book. Here are my thoughts...
1. I love anything CC produces. Her imagination & wit amazes me. I had told myself before I even turned to the first page that I'd enjoy this story. Was it as good as TMI series? Of course not. It's good in it's own way, though.
2. I love Will because he reminds me so much of Jace, just in an 1800's Englishman sort of way. I really like Jem too & I think he's going to be a great person for Tessa to lean on. Charlotte is awesome!
3. Obviously the whole Nate thing. I had a feeling the Magister was who he was & that sort of annoyed me that the other Shadowhunters were so quick to believe him. You'd think they were smarter than the average human?
4. I want to know what Tessa is. I do not believe she's just a Downworlder. I think she has Shadowhunter blood in her somewhere. I'm also curious about Will's past & why he left his parents when he was 12. I also want to know what Will saw the first time he kissed Tessa in the attic. That is seriously bugging me.
5. I think CC is wanting us to think Will went to Magnus about his own personal things.. but I think it's for someone else. A cure for Jem? to find out about Tessa?
I did not like Will. I loved Jace, but Will seems mean without the lovable side. I know he is supposed to be Jace-esq, but he just wasn't to me. I wanted to shake Tessa until she saw that she shouldn't let Will treat her so badly.
I love Jem!
I agree with Ginger that Tessa is a mix of downworlder and shadow hunter.
Love Cassandra Clare--great imagination!

I love Cassandra Clare, but I have to admit I was a bit disappointed with this book, but choose to remain hopeful.
My disappointment lies in the underdevelopment of characters and plot. I agree with what you are saying Beth about Will and not knowing why he's such an ass. Jace I gave more leway for because I immediately fell in love with him. But not so much with Will. I think he will be the guy for Tessa (not Jem), but I hope he really gets developed more--and I am assuming he will.
I really like Jem as a friend and character. And think his story line has potential.
I am very curious as to what Tessa will be. I don't think downworlder either, but we'll see. I also wonder what is up with Sophie and if she will be anything more than just a girl with "the sight"
I have been saying that this seems like a prequel to Clockwork Angel, rather than the first installment. I'm hoping they pick up steam and CC gives me a reason to love this just as much as Mortal Instruments.
did I actually say I would shake Tessa to show her that Will was mean...that would be mean. I take it back!

I can't believe i didn't post here yet!!
I was dissapointed in this book-- I felt like the characters were not fully developed-- and truthfully I really didn't care for any of them :(
I am hopefull that the storyline will get better and that I will come to love Will and Jem more, as of right now i don't see why Tessa is drawn to either one of them.
