    About this audiobook

    Danger, betrayal, and enchantment abound in the “exhilarating” (Booklist) conclusion to the #1 New York Times bestselling Infernal Devices trilogy—now with a gorgeous new cover, a new foreword, and exclusive bonus content! Clockwork Princess is a Shadowhunters novel.

    THE INFERNAL DEVICES WILL NEVER STOP COMING

    A net of shadows begins to tighten around the Shadowhunters of the London Institute. Mortmain plans to use his Infernal Devices, an army of pitiless automatons, to destroy the Shadowhunters. He needs only one last item to complete his plan: he needs Tessa Gray.

    Charlotte Branwell, head of the London Institute, is desperate to find Mortmain before he strikes. But when Mortmain abducts Tessa, the boys who lay equal claim to her heart, Will and Jem, will do anything to save her. As those who love Tessa rally to rescue her from Mortmain’s clutches, Tessa realizes that the only person who can save her is herself. But can a single girl, even one who can command the power of angels, face down an entire army?

    The tangled threads of love and loss intertwine as the Shadowhunters are pushed to the very brink of destruction in the breathtaking conclusion to the Infernal Devices trilogy.

      This novel set in Victorian London finishes Cassandra Clare's The Infernal Devices trilogy. The protagonist, Tessa Gray, a shapeshifter, who is sought by the antagonist, Axel Mortman as his wife to aid him in his destruction of the Shadowhunters, a race of humans with angel blood. When she is kidnapped by Mortman, she discovers the origins of her supernatural ability. After Jem's death, Will, mourning his parabatai, sets off to rescue Tessa. After reading both the Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices, I can finally say that I have sated my interest in reading any more by Cassandra Clare. Although this Young Adult novel was entertaining, the final novel in the series became so slow at time, I almost thought about putting it down.

      Clockwork Princess is what happens when an author believes her own hype and decides she can do whatever and people will revert to the Emperor's New Clothes thinking of 'its wonderful, best.book.ever!!!!!' Sadly, seeing Cassie's reaction to people who didn't buy into that thinking regarding this book has pretty much ended any chance of me reading her future series which won't be a loss to her, but will at least save my own sanity.


      I'm just disappointed - I truly loved this series, but I suppose when you have to churn out so much in such a short space of time and take a passive aggressive 'il'l show them' attitude regarding valid criticism from earlier books, that something does eventually give and with that, it was this book in general and the epilogue in particular. Shame but it is what it is.

      excellent just purely excellent 200/200. just wonderful all-around great job. The narration was fantastic better than the first two books.
    • 3/5
      I am going to stray from the norm here. I did not like the way the love triangle was handled. Because I felt it was not fair to any of the three of them for things to be that way.

      Clockwork Princess is a beautiful end to one of my most favorite series ever. To think there shall be no more fights over William Herondale and wondering of who will Tessa turn up with. Cassandra Clare engrosses you in this final installment and makes your heart break over and over and yet you enjoy going through it.

      But the best part of the book was rooting for the not-main couples - Gideon & Sophie and Gabriel & Cecily. While Will, Jem and Tessa are intent on breaking our heart they will always bring a smile to our faces.

      And Magnus Bane - of course! He is the most Magnificent character ever written and to see him here and compare him to the Magnus Bane we have in The Mortal Instruments - precious. He is a close second to my Will as a favorite character.

      If only I could change the ending. Its not bad at all - and I know why many people would love it. But I sadly was not one of them.

      Another relief is that there shall be no more extra additions here like TMI - thank god!

      3 Stars.
    • 5/5
      Tessa is engaged to Jem, who she loves. Charlotte(head of institute) calls everyone to the library. What she shows them is a letter with directions to send Tessa to Mortmain. Jem ends up destroying it. What awaits Jem and Will is even more depressing. After the fight with the clockwork creatures, Tessa gets kidnapped. Jem is badly injured and Will is afraid now. Will talks with Magnus in Jem's room about the cure and they also mention that Will loves Tessa. Jem, confused, talks to Will and he feels bad for himself, with the engagement. Jem sends off Will to find Tessa and bring her back.
    • 5/5
      I love how it ends! That really is a perfect ending. This is the only love triangle that I could tolerate. I even love them. I mean, how could you hate Jem Carstairs when he's like that?! This series is way better than TMI, but of course I totally support TMI too. :P

      This book/trilogy... is so good that I do not have the right words for it. Look at my friends' reviews. Look at Mitch's. LOL. Just saying that he rarely gives out a 5 star rating in a book unless it's really good or it get to him. That is HOW MUCH we like or how good the trilogy was.

      I do got some confusing question though. Now that we finished this trilogy, we already knew what happened with all of them. So in the Epilogue, it was set 2008... And yeah... So the question is, Bro Z appeared in TMI, am I correct? I think it was on the 4th or 5th that he started spewing cryptic shit about life and love and whatnot to someone there... and then all the readers speculate WHO THE HELL IS BROTHER ZACHARIAH and is he from this Trilogy's time?! Sooooo... knowing what you know from TMI and after reading this Clockwork Princess... Explain it to me. LOL. Is it a different person who just got the same name as Bro Z? I hope you all are getting my thoughts clearly. >.<

      Other than that I love love love the book. Well, except for that fade out scene... remind me again why there's a fade out scene?! LMAO. It should be NA!!! NA!!! Not YA! LOL. :D
    • 5/5
      Clockwork Princess is the third and final book in the Infernal Devices trilogy, a prequel series to the Mortal Instruments. I was waiting so long for this book but also worried it would not meet my expectations - luckily it exceeded them. The story carries on from Clockwork Prince with the shadow of Mortmain and his plans for Tessa continuing to loom over the shadowhunters while Jem continues to worsen and Will and Tessa continue to hide their true conflicting feelings from each other while both agonising over Jem. There is also the introduction of Cecily - Will's sister who is a great character and we get to know the Lightwood brothers even more. I wont give too much away but the action is non stop after the first few pages and there are some genuinely scary moments as well as some tender and very funny moments. I particularly love Magnus in this book and his scenes with Will.In conclusion I loved and enjoyed this book, I could not stop reading it yet at the same time I tried to read as little as possible so it would last longer. I highly recommend the whole series to fans of YA fantasy/steampunk/paranormal romance - this series is phenomenal. I was also lucky enough to receive the high quality collectors hardback edition with the family tree on the inside of the dust jacket (cue much fangirling) Read it and love it!
    • 5/5
      This book rocked my world in so many different ways! Oh. My. God! It was freaking amazing! And I completely loved the way the author managed to make every single one in this book to get their HEA. The story was incredibly compelling, heartwrenching at times and made me savor this book until the last word. Incredible!
    • 4/5
      A decent wrap up to the series.
    • 4/5
      I loved this series!
    • 4/5
      A pleasant, fun adventure with lots of laughs, smiles, and a few almost-tears. All-in-all, a nice series conclusion, though without the backbone of The Mortal Instruments, I definitely would not have liked it much, and do not like it nearly as much in comparison. There wasn't as much story to tell, unfortunately, though the characters grew on me. The death of Jessamine was an actually pleasant surprise from a literary standpoint (I'm not a sadist) as Clare pulled the same trick, or a very similar one at least, in City of Heavenly Fire with Isabelle's almost death, but obviously didn't follow through, leading to a rather undefeatable, unnecessarily powerful main team. By comparison, the losses in this book were just satisfying enough to warrant my mention.
    • 4/5
      4Q 4PBook three in Cassandra Clare's Infernal Devices series finds the shadowhunters of the London Institute caught in the Magister's ever tightening web. Full of drama and intrigue, this tale follows Will, Tessa, and Jem to the conclusion of their epic battle against the Magister and his clockwork creations. A fun and dramatic story set in Victorian England that will be an easy sell for most teen readers.
    • 5/5
      I love all Cassandra Clare books and I devour them. But this one made me cry at the end, though I don't know if it was because I just lost my last dog this week, or because of the goosebump, tear dropping writing and the beautiful end
    • 5/5
      I just finished reading this book and I am crying... The last chapter was sad and beautiful at the same time and I loved it. A great way to end this amazing (I can't think of any other words) trilogy. I wonder if Alec's blue eyes come from Cecily... I can't wait for The Last Hours trilogy to be released!

      This book was both unpredictable and amazing. The plot was all over the place but, in the end there was peace, a strange peace unique to Cassie Clare impeccable writing abilities. There was joy, sadness, lost and overall a overpowering emotion. A beautiful master piece which could not be more joyous to the hearts beat.

      I absolutely loved this book! It made me laugh, cry, feel love and heartache and everything between. It was a perfect conclusion! Such a beautiful love story...

    • 5/5
      Finally, finally I'm done reading Clockwork Princess!

      I'm speechless though. Completely and utterly so, since that Epilogue gave me nothing but chills, shivers, endorphines, tears and the likes. Emotions were everywhere, bouncing around me, echoing up and down the walls and ceiling.

      And all I can say that the greatness of this last book was incredible!

      I shall be writing my review a bit later.
    • 5/5

      I actually quite enjoyed the latter half of this book, and Cassandra Clare managed to surprise me yet again, so that's very good. I'm a bit sad about not having enjoyed this trilogy as much as everyone else did, but at least I have finally read it.
