Book Review of Clockwork Angel (Infernal Devices, Bk 1)

reviewed on + 25 more book reviews


I'm an avid reader, and if you like books, this book is one. If you like books with good pacing and engaging story lines, well this book might not be for you.

I obtained the book thinking it would either be a Victorian fantasy romance or a steam punk book. It is definitely not steam punk unless you count anything that happens to be set in a Victorian setting. Cogs and gears are mentioned (eventually and mostly in conjunction with the supernatural), but that doesn't make it steam or punk.

As for the plot, I can tell you that for the first 160 pages there isn't one. After that I put the book down. I have quite the reading list, and giving the plot 160 pages to go somewhere was more than generous.
