Throwback Review: CLOCKWORK PRINCESS by Cassandra Clare

(Originally posted on my Goodreads page.)
April 15, 2014

This was the most perfect ending for this trilogy, I think. I was kind of afraid of finishing it because I didn't know what to expect! The Infernal Devices is definitely one of my favorite YA fantasy series because it's original, different, and clever. I don't know how Cassandra Clare does it! She is an amazing author and I am ready for the next Shadowhunter series. 

I was very immersed in the story line, the characters, the events taking place. I loved the character development (one of my favorite things in literature). From Clockwork Angel to Clockwork Princess, so much happens and it is evident that it affects them, they learn so much and it's just beautiful.

Picking this book up, I knew there would be tear shed. It's the finale of a fantastic series with these characters I feel I got to know in such a short amount of time since I read the first book. I went from shock, to laughing at the charm and wit of Will Herondale, to crying because I felt his pain.

I found myself crying because of this book a lot and I don't usually cry when I read books (i.e. Mockingjay . . . I know, but trust me, I have a heart). I think it's Cassie's writing, to be honest. She is insanely talented and creative and the last book I remember crying at was City of Lost Souls.
On the ending: (view spoiler)

5 out of 5 stars because this is probably my favorite finale to a book series so far.

ETERNAL NIGHT by Carina Adly MacKenzie

REVIEW:
Carina Adly MacKenzie doesn’t disappoint with Eternal Night, a wonderful story full of brilliant characters. This is a YA must read that grabs the reader from the start. With each chapter you get to meet new and interesting characters. A couple of my favorites are Weston and Nike. Both are realistic characters, Weston reminds me of myself because we both love social media and take advantage of it. While the story is centered around gods, this book is very modernized and there is slang and dialogue that you see teens use online everyday. If there were to be a sequel, I would definitely have to read it because I can’t imagine what will happen next! All in all, I recommend this Eternal Night to anyone looking for a fantasy that takes a brand new turn in YA lit. 

My Favorite Quotes:
" … problems only last until the drink that makes you forget them."
"Your song Manic Poetry is literally everything. Can we take a selfie?"
"They’ve got the privilege of living in an era when there are a thousand ways to be in touch, at all hours of the day, messages zinging through the airwaves all around them—and they’re just wasting it by turning off their phones?"

My dream movie casting:

AnnaSophia Robb as Lola

AnnaSophia would be amazing as Lola; the hair is perfect and she looks doll-like as inferred in the story.

Malese Jow as Nadia

I can picture Malese playing her very well because I’ve seen her in other shows.

Ian Somerhalder as Dean

When Dean was first described, I instantly thought of Ian. Mainly because of his character in The Vampire Diaries, but I can’t picture anyone else!

Josh Hutcherson as Weston

I didn’t think of Josh at first, but he would be amazing as Weston.

Emma Stone as Peitha

I love Emma in everything I’ve seen her in and I can so see her as Peitha; she’s an amazing actress.

Danielle Campbell as Nike

Danielle is awesome in The Originals and I picture Nike to look sort of like her.
