Well, its been a while since we've done one of these. Anyhow, this past week I finish Clockwork Princess, by Cassandra Clare. It is the third and final installment of the Infernal Devices trilogy. Main character Tessa Gray (part shadowhunter, part demon, shapeshifter extraordinaire) is stuck in the action packed issue of being the much sought after weapon that could bring down the entire race of Shadowhunters, while her best friends and the two boys she loves are just that: Shadowhunters.
Clockwork Princess includes a great deal of foreshadowing, though some of it is misleading. The plot twists and turns, keeping the reader guessing. As Tessa does her best to save the world, you as the reader are left trying to decipher even details that may be considered minor in the grand scheme of things. This all creates a tale that is hard to put down, and I found myself leaving it only when forced to by sleep deprivation or homework. Cassandra Clare is an excellent author. I can only hope this is not the last of her works.
As a reader, I would highly recommend this book and series. It's probably not the best guys read, but there are elements of it that anyone would enjoy. I didn't want the story to end, no matter how perfectly it turned out. I was disappointed that my constant reading allowed for only a few days of enjoyment, but for slower readers, that shouldn't be a problem. It may not feel like it, but the book is very long. If a three inch spine width is daunting, try this one first. You may be surprised.
So for the times:
Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare: 3/31- 45 min. 4/1- 30 min. 4/2- 30min. (70%-100%)
Requiem by Lauren Oliver: 4/3- 1 hr. (0%-20%)
Total: 2hrs. 45min. 30% and 20% (kindle)
