My First Impression

The demon exploded in a shower of ichor and guts. - 1st line
I've been meaning to read this book for quite a long time but always forgetting to get to it. I love the cover. I bet the guy in suit featured on the cover is one of the Shadowhunters in this book. Well, I can see the tattoos shining! The cloth he wears, the clockwork gears and the clock tower give sense of the clockwork world and the time setting in which this story is taken place. For the story, I think this would be a good one. I've read City of Bones, and it impressed me. So I really hope that Clockwork Angel can give me the same impact. And since this is said to be a prequel to the Mortal Instruments, I'm eager to discover how this story is related to the Mortal Instruments world.

Oo...means no chance getting this at the coming big bad wolf sale :(
I enjoyed the novel, but thought Tessa was a pretty weak character for the first 2/3 of the novel. But I have wrote about that at length here:
