![]() ![]() The supporting characters (unusually well-developed for a love-triangle romance) include multiple compelling young women who show strength in myriad ways. Somehow there's room for an interesting steampunk mystery amid all this angst. His trauma puts all previous romantic difficulties to shame, from the Capulet/Montague feud all the way to Edward Cullen's desire to chomp on Bella Swan. But poor, wretched Will-who "would have been pretty if he had not been so tall and so muscular"-has a deep, dark, thoroughly emo secret. Jem, after all, is gentle and kind, her dearest confidante Will is unpleasant to everyone around him. ![]() It's not always clear why Tessa prefers Will to his beloved (and only) friend Jem, the dying, silver-eyed, biracial sweetheart with the face of an angel. ![]() Our heroes are Tessa, who may or may not be a warlock, and the beautiful Shadowhunter warrior boys who are moths to her forbidden flame. There's betrayal, mayhem and clockwork monstrosities, and the Shadowhunters have only two weeks to discover-oh, who are we kidding? The plot is only surprisingly tasty icing on this cupcake of a melodramatic love triangle. This sequel to Clockwork Angel (2010) pits gorgeous, attractively broken teens against a menacing evil. ![]() ![]() ![]() It isn't about zombies but I promise you will love it all the same.
