The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel

I am yet to be disappointed in one of Clare's books. As in her other series The Mortal Instruments, she perfects fleshing out her characters so that we just don't read about them, but imagine them in our heads. As if we actually know the character in reality. Let's take one character for example, Will. Will Herondale is a young, very young shadow hunter who if anything is filled with jokes. (By the way, to put in simple words, is a soldier. Except they have angel blood mixed with human blood and it gives them the ability to use special runes that can enable a glamour to disguise them from the naked eye of a human, to give them abilities such as strength, speed, silence, etc. They're basically bad asses.) Back to Will, though. A very young shadow hunter, who is by far the best at combat fighting than any other shadow hunter. And he knows it. He isn't afraid of much but there is something mysterious about him that Clare gives off. A sort of truth that is hidden behind why he is very good at what he does and careless at the same time. He's very cocky and always having to impress everyone around him is what feeds him. Which makes it no surprise that this is the prequel to The Mortal Instruments because Jace Herondale is the "God" basically of shadow hunters there. Good one, Clare. The book, overall, runs very smooth. I don't feel like I'm jumping around from place to place too often or crazy-like. The pace is well balanced as it does keep you intrigued to find out what happens next and so on, it's very readable. And to get to the way Clare describes scenes, just the details alone is what makes me eat through the pages, I believe. "...the hair of the women sweeping the floor like brooms." "...the walls seemed to seep moisture, and the upholstery on the seats and sofas was always blooming with mold." Clare, in my opinion does a phenomenal job just detailing everything she gives us. And it isn't too detailed to where you're reading descriptions only. Cassandra Clare always impresses me with the plot as well, it never gets too boring and the way she lines things out so that everything throughout the story connects, its incredible. For example, as The Infernal Devices in the prequel in the old times of England, the "bad" enemy is a club called the Pandemonium Club". This just made me go in shock because the way The Mortal Instruments even begins is at a modern dance club called the Pandemonium Club and what humans or mundanes as they call in the story don't realize is that downworlders go to that club, which in The Infernal Devices, it's a club started by downworlders. It's just like mind blowing how that just came to be. However, I have yet to continue reading to find out how the rest of the books turns out to be.
