I was surprised how nice it actually felt to be back into the Shadowhunter world! I've read the first five books The Mortal Instruments series and even though they are not my favorite, I like them. Clockwork Angel was a good mix of something new and familiar. 
 This book had a great bunch of characters. I liked almost all of them! Nate might be the only one to get the side-eye from me. At least the other bad guys were intriguing. The main characters and everyone from the Institute were good. And Magnus was there too, I just wish there was more of him! For some reason Henry was one of my favorites. 
 There were couple surprisingly big similarities to The Mortal Instruments. (view spoiler)[Evil guy making a person to be what they are before they are born. A brother gone bad. (hide spoiler)] But oh well, I guess those are plot devices that invoke emotions, whatever kind they might be! 
 This one was better than some of The Mortal Instruments books, but overall I like those better - at least for now - because they have this awesome guy called Simon Lewis. I miss him and I try to get through this trilogy as soon as possible to get to finally finish TMI series!
