Choice Reading Reaction: Clockwork Angel

After I finished The Sun is Also a Star, I decided to read Clockwork Angel.  This book is about Tessa Gray, a girl who finds out that she has powers, and it follows her journey as she meets Will Herondale and James Carstairs.  She must decide between saving her brother and saving the world, and she also must decide between Jem (James) and Will.

This book is very different from the last book I read.  While The Sun is Also a Star was very lighthearted and “cutesy”, Clockwork Angel is more fantasy-like.  I’m not very far into it, only about 110 pages, but I really am enjoying it so far.  The author of this book is also a lot different and she has a different style.  For instance, the last book I read was all in first person and had many different points of view, while this book is all in third person.

So far, I also really like the plot and the characters.  The plot is interesting to follow along with, and the characters are very relatable (even if they do have powers).  Even from the start of the book, there was a very clear plot line that was going to be established and developed throughout the book.

The conflict that I have seen so far is one of my favorite parts of the book.  As of now, a lot of the conflict is Man vs. Self.  Tessa, the main character, has a lot of self conflict because she is deciding if she wants to be a Shadowhunter or if she wants to go off on her own.  We also see her deciding between her brother and the world and deciding between Jem and Will.
