Set in the late 1800's, Cassandra Clare lays out the story in London, revolving around the world of Shadowhunters and their conquest to protect mundanes from demons. The story is mainly told through the eyes of Tessa Gray, a girl with a special ability no one can identify. Along her journey, she meets Will Herondale, a troubled boy she can't seem to shake, and Jem Carstairs, a kind-hearted boy she might see as more than a friend... All while battling demons and saving the world, but of course. The series consists of three books: Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, Clockwork Princess. Clare intertwines nods to her other series, The Mortal Instruments, which takes place in modern-day New York. The story is enthralling, and by far one of the best young adult fantasy series that I've read in a while (and believe me, I read a LOT). Clare's writing is smart and sexy as always, and with an ending that leaves you hungry for more, while still being thoroughly satisfying, I can safely say it deserves 4 out of 5 stars. And not to worry, Constanin Films is going to be in the process of casting in just a few months.
Lots of love,
Bex
