BOOK REVIEW: CLOCKWORK ANGEL

hi guys! Sorry for posting this review soooo late but I haven't been well for the past week or so. Anyway despite the loooong hours forced in bed I had the pleasure of having the company of this great book. Clockwork Angel is my first book by Cassandra Clare and when I finished it I told myself: OMG WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING OUT?!?!?! why didn't I start reading her books earlier?!?!?! Well better late than never ;) I loved this book guys. The writing flows easy without being shallow, the plot is amazing, the characters are well defined, there is nothing bad I can honestly say about this book....! When I finished reading it I was both sad and happy: sad cos I knew I was going to miss the characters (Will you are the best!), happy cos it was a great reading and I can't wait to read the sequels. Now I am thrilled to start the Immortal Instruments Series, the first three books are happily waiting to be picked from my bookshelf :))) Although, I thought it wouldn't be wise to jump to City Of Bones just yet, so I thought I'd read other books in between Cassandra Clare's series...so to rise the suspance! That said, I am currently reading Anna & The French Kiss and I have to say...so far the story isn't getting me, I'm not feeling it. I'm on chapter 4 and hope the plot gets better asap or I'll put it aside and start something else. Will keep you posted and look out for a new book haul coming up soon!!! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

BOOK REVIEW: THE IRON KING *SPOILERS!*

First of all: I liked this book A LOT and will definitely continue the series. At first I rated it 4/5, but then I thought about the few aspects I didn’t like about the story so I changed my rating to 3,5/5. So…what did I not like about the book?! Firstly I did not like the author’s decision of mixing fey elements in the real world----I thought it was kinda confusing!!! In my opinion it would have been better to have a clear separation between the two dimensions in order to emphasis more the difference, the magic of the Nevernever. Putting faeries and spirits in the real world appeared too surreal even for a fantasy novel. Secondly, ….what about that first kiss between Morgan and Prince Ash???!!! Do we wanna talk about it????!!!! I mean, seriously, having your first kiss just after being attacked by a dragon, while the dragon is temporarily blocked in ice and could set free any second…is…just…absurd. Disappointing. Last but not least, King Machina sitting on his throne, powerful, surrounded by his knights, with…a bluetooth in his ear???!!! SERIOUSLY???!!!! Who’s his phone provider? Does he have a blackberry or an iphone???!!! Come on, I thought that was such a low point that ruined the tension and suspance of the moment. ANYWAY besides these “minor” dislikes I really enjoyed reading the first book of The Fey Series: I think Julie Kagawa did a great job in creating some great characters like Puck, Oberion, Machina. I looooved the whole concept of summer vs winter, the Seelie and Unseelie Courts and all the other fey creatures of Nevernever. Also, I liked the fact that the title of the book is actually the ‘bad guy’ because through out the story I was continuously asking myself who this Iron King was. So,…what do you think of this book? Were there aspects you didn’t like? Please comment!!! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
