I’d decided to begin reading The Infernal Devices series
after I finished reading all of the available Mortal Instruments series by
Clare. I have thoroughly enjoyed all five
of the Mortal Instruments series and honestly have no idea how I will manage to
survive until March of 2014 to read City of Heavenly Fire ! After reading the Clockwork Angel, I can
already tell that I’m going to have a hard time waiting on the releases of
future books in this series as well. The
Infernal Devices is a prequel to the Mortal Instrument series and it chronicles
the earlier years of the Clave when the Accords were still new and Magnus Bane was
still in love with Camille Belcourt. Ha!
Clockwork Angel was impressive. It was nothing like what I expected it to
be. I've already fallen in love with
this generation of Shadow Hunters and with the elusive Tessa Gray. I fell in love with Clare’s signature style when
I read City of Bones ,
but I had a hard time pinpointing what it was about her writing that made it
superior to others in the young adult genre.
I think I’m finally able to explain it, after reading 6 of her
books.
Clare manages to weave a thrilling story full of surprising
plot twists in language that all readers can enjoy and understand. Reading Clare is always a pleasure, because she
allows the creativity of the plot lead the story, rather than complicated back
story or contrived words. I’m not saying
that Clare has a limited vocabulary, quite the contrary; Clare uses the
language like it’s meant to be used, choosing the words that best compliment
her story-line. What Clare doesn't do is
complicate things. She keeps things
simple and straightforward, allowing the story-line to grow in complexity
naturally over the course of the series, instead of trying to explain
everything all at once, in one book. And
she uses terms already widely known, rather than making up a bunch of words
that the reader has to learn in order to understand the story-line. And Clare’s stories are always magic. I can’t wait to see what happens next in
Clockwork Prince.
having to analysis it on my own. Thanks. Anyway, in my language, there arent a lot good supply like this.
