Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare


TITLE:  Clockwork Princess (Infernal Devices #3)
AUTHOR:  Clare, Cassandra
GENRE:  Fiction/Supernatural
DATES READ:  3/27/2013 - 4/3/2013
MY RATING:  4/5

This is a new one for me...  The only thing, and I mean ONLY thing, that stopped me from absolutely adoring this book is the epilogue.  I mean, I understand wanting to tie up loose ends and make everyone happy, but REALLY?!

I loved the characters arches in this book, and the plot development and action were in perfect balance.  There wasn't too much romance, but it wasn't light on heart break.  The scales were in order.

But I can't help that feeling that I'm not a fan of everyone reading a book should have their happy ending.  It doesn't sit right.  Like everyone gets to have their cake and eat it to.  It's forced.  Don't get me wrong, I love a good happy ending as much as the next reader, but there is such as a thing as overkill.

If you're read the other books in the series, this one is obviously a no-brainer.  But if you're happy with the way the book ended (because of certain expectations :-P), steer clear of the epilogue.

Will read and write soon!
