The writing takes a bit to get used to, but overall it isn’t bothersome. They grow to be close, and it is addicting to the reader. A weird combination, I know, but I grew to love Will, Tess, and Jem, and even Jess in some areas. It can only go downhill from there, and while it isn’t a steady decline, it’s as satisfying as it is tremulous. They teach her to use her “ability” in preparation for the Magister. Enter the Dark sisters, the creepiest characters I have come across in a long time. The story starts with Tessa traveling to London from New York because her brother sent for her, saying how spectacular London was and that since they were all alone now, they should be together. I can’t explain what it was or why I eventually came to enjoy it, but it did eventually get under my skin, and for that I was very surprised. It had a dark undertone, really the whole novel was dark, but through the darkness came a sliver of light and I was so very drawn and attracted to it. It is based in the 1800s (not AT ALL my comfort zone), and the way they spoke, because of being based so far back, was definitely different from what I am used to reading. Honestly? I didn’t know what to think when I started reading this novel. Clockwork Angel ( The Infernal Devices #1)
