After waiting for what feels like ages Cassandra Clare's latest book "Clockwork Angel" finally arived in my mailbox on saturday... 9 days before official release.
I absolutly looooooove the cover artwork... it's totally awesome!!!
It should be needless to say that I was very positvly surprised... which I expressed by junmping up and down in my room for the better half of an hour.
And because I was so excited I put on a reading limit of 100 pages so I wouldn't be finished with the book by sunday morning - which I properly would have been... But this way I can enjoy the world of the Shadowhunters for a few days more!
Right now I'm about halfway through the book. It is even better than it promised to be from all the quotes we received over the last six months by Cassie Clare. One of my favorites is the following:
Will, blood still dripping from his chin, looked at Jem with his eyebrows raised. "Nice throw," he said.
Jem shook his head. "You bit de Quincey," he said. "You fool. He's a vampire. You know what it means to bite a vampire."
"I had no choice," said Will. "He was choking me."
"I know," Jem said. "But really, Will. Again?"
Seriously, every time I read that I'm laughing out loud.
But it's far from the only funny thing in there. Especially Will provides a lot of comical relief throughout the story, which as far as I can tell, yet, is very well thoughtout and balanced between action and romance much like in the "Mortal Instruments Series".
Tessa, the female main character, is strong-willed and because of her ability to change her apperance is sucked into the the world of the Shadowhunters.
The long awaited love-triangle between Tessa, Will and Jem then unfolds beautiful.
uhm...by the way
Shout out for Team Will. ^^'
I'll write more when I'm finished in two days: \u0026lt;
properly I'll be extremly sad and psyched for the next one "The Clockwork Prince" which will be out in September 2011 ...
