A review by thebookishmel
Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare
5.0
The epilogue killed me, will write a proper review once I’m emotionally stable :)

It’s the next day, I’ve recovered.
This novel has some of the most complex emotional attachments I’ve seen from not only readers, but from the characters themselves. It’s a truly remarkable feature of Cassandra Clare’s writing to really grab the reader and force them to understand just what Tessa, Will and Jem have gone through in a way her previous novels in the Chronicles could not do. I absolutely LOVED the epilogue and thought it was so beautifully crafted, however, I do wish there was more explanation in terms of HIS return.
Throughout the novel, I loved seeing the characters arcs of ALL of them grow. It’s really refreshing to see a full set of characters who have to go through these trials and tribulations that really test their morale and mentality, forcing them to make decisions that not only effect themselves, but everyone else around them. Sophie, being one of the most changed, had such a positive growth that I really loved reading/listening about. She really grew her wings and flew, and I absolutely adored it.
Tessa, as our obvious main female protagonist, finally learns more about her lineage, the clockwork angel on her neck, and who SHE is. I think it really was an incredible wrap up for her to really explore herself as an individual and as a creature never thought of before.
There were moments where I could’ve cared less, like anything to do with Jessamine. And if I’m going to be completely honest, I zoned out during the audiobook when her name was mentioned. Whoops.
Obviously, a 5/5 star rating for me. Cannot wait to read City of Heavenly Fire, which might I add, Clockwork Princess is such a phenomenal transition for that title.
