What surprised me more was my love for the lead female character, Tessa Gray. I don’t love him as much as Will, but he is also a great character with his own heartbreaking story. His parabatai, Jem Carstairs, did as well. Will wasn’t the only one who captured my heart. His back story was very heartfelt and explains his every action. He has so much depth within him and when he was first introduced with all his snarky attitude, glory, and sarcasm, I knew he had me. What really got me hooked was William Herondale! He is now and probably forever will be my favorite male character. Even though there were less books, I felt that the characterization was more significant. The time period and setting was way more interesting.

I honestly loved this trilogy so much more than Clare’s Mortal Instrument series. WOW! Where do I begin?! Clockwork Angel hooked me in and brought me all the way to Clockwork Princess and became my favorite trilogy of all time. I was really nervous about it, but I did hear great things about the Infernal Devices so I thought, “What harm can reading the first book do?” Review: I was a bit timid about getting to it because I fell in love with the shadowhunter world in the TMI series and I was worried that a historical prequel would ruin it. I had just finished reading The Mortal Instruments when I learned of this trilogy’s existence. Equipped with a magical army of unstoppable clockwork creatures, the Club is out to rule the British Empire, and only Tessa and her allies can stop them…. Soon they find themselves up against the Pandemonium Club, a secret organization of vampires, demons, warlocks, and humans. She soon discovers that her only allies are the demon-slaying Shadowhunters-including Will and Jem, the mysterious boys she is attracted to. Tessa Gray descends into London’s dark supernatural underworld in search of her missing brother. Welcome to the Infernal Devices trilogy, a stunning and dangerous prequel to the New York Times bestselling Mortal Instruments series. In a time when Shadowhunters are barely winning the fight against the forces of darkness, one battle will change the course of history forever. The Shadowhunters of the Victorian Age delve into all of these-in addition to darkness and danger-in the Infernal Devices trilogy.
