The book, Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare, was a great read and ended The Infernal Devices trilogy. The novel follows Tessa Gray, as she prepares to marry her suitor, Jem. Although the story and plot were excellent, I can’t help feeling a bit disappointed in Tessa. In the novel, Tessa changes from the independant girl she was in other books, to a more feminine person, who relies on others to save her. I thought the ending was very appropriate, and satisfied the reader. I cannot wait for City of Heavenly Fire, and Lady Midnight! Thanks Cassandra Clare!

I really enjoyed Clockwork Princess but there were some problems with consistency for example in the first two books (Clockwork Angel & Clockwork Prince) Tessa is more independent but in Clockwork Princess she becomes more dependent on Will and Jem to rescue her.

The ending was appropriate in the sense that Tessa didn’t have to choose between Will and Jem. I think that this is good in the sense that they are essentially the same person.

‘Clockwork Princess’ was painful to read. Yet again, Will and Tessa and Jem are caught in their weird love triangle, and the solution to their little love problem is complicated and tragic, but fitting and rather satisfying. Throughout the book, I was immensely frustrated; I switched between wanting Tessa to be with Jem to wanting Tessa to be with Will and momentarily pondered Will being with Jem (it’s just so right). This book, though annoying at times, was perfect. It was a great conclusion to the stunning trilogy, but I do wish that more books would be written of Tessa’s and Jem’s travels.

Clockwork Princess is by Cassandra Clare and is the third book in the Infernal Devices trilogy.
