Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare is the first book in the Infernal Devices series. This book is very similar to the Mortal Instruments books. The world is the same except it is set in an earlier time period. The characters have the same attitudes. It's as if she took the same characters from the previous series and just mixed them up a bit for this one. This is not only disappointing by distracting as well. Tessa is the semi pretty girl who has two boys interested in her. Will is a jerk who has moments of kindness that fail to make up for his abrasive attitude. The author alludes to where she is going with this but it doesn't make it any more pleasant to read. The plot is bogged down by unnecessary details and the characters don't really have a good connection to each other. At the end you are left with more questions then answers. All in all, Clockwork Angel just doesn't hit the mark and leaves you feeling disappointed.
