I have been reading The Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare. I finished her first series, all five books, The Mortal Instruments and LOVED them. I thought that I might like other books by her. The Mortal Instruments series is about a fictional race of people called Shadowhunters. They protect their city by fighting demons and other things that might be lurking.
In The Clowckwork Prince it has the same theory. Shadowhunters fighting demons and maybe the occasional automaton. But the twist with this series, it takes place in the 1800's. The main character, Tessa Gray, finds out she's something that she didn't think she was. They are constantly put in danger by the main antagonist, The Magister and maybe a few other things. Tessa, being a lady in the 1800's is also torn with being a lady, or being a warrior. I HIGHLY recomend these books, as well as The Mortal Instruments series, which is coming out wiht the 6th and final book in 2014.

This book is a sequel to Clockwork Angel and the prequel to Clockwork Princess.
The whole series is a prequel to The Mortal Instruments series.
Thanks for the rec...and my daughter's name is Tessa! It's not one you hear that often.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that time period twist! That is a nice deviation from the usual dystopian plot line.
ReplyDeleteSounds good... I started reading the first book of the Mortal Instruments, but I kind of stopped in the middle. Maybe I should try them again! Glad you liked them :)
