My First Post

Hello internet people!  To start here’s some information about me as a reader.  I read a lot and there are so many books to choose from, but my favorite book is The Eternal Ones.   I love The Eternal Ones because of the characters.  Haven is the main character and she’s one of the spunkiest fearless girls I’ve ever met.  She doesn’t let anyone hold her back from achieving what she wants.  In the book, there are many people trying to degrade Haven because of her personality that doesn’t really fit in her sleepy town in the south.  I also love her best friend Bo, who is just as fearless as Haven, because he absolutely loves Haven and would do anything to keep her happy and safe.  Not to mention, he’s so flamboyant and hilarious.   My favorite genres on books are sci-fi and fantasy.  I love those books that mix the modern day issues with a fantasy twist.

                Right now, I am currently reading Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare.  She’s one of my absolute favorite authors and this book is the prequel to the Mortal Instruments series, which is absolutely to die for.  So, Clockwork Prince takes place in London, England during the early 1800’s.  It stars Tessa Gray , an American orphan that comes to England to live with her brother Nate, and Jem Carstairs and Will Herondale, two young Shadowhunters.  Jem and Will are Shadowhunters, a race derived of angels set to kill demons.   Jem and Will are both orphans, but while Jem is kind and gentle Will is scowls and cockiness.   Tessa comes to England to live with her brother after their aunt dies.  When Tessa reaches London there are two strange ladies who pick her up, convincing her that Nate, Tessa’s brother, sent them.   This is absolutely false.  The two strange ladies are called the Dark Sisters and are forcing Tessa to hone her strange talent.  Tessa can shape shift into someone if she has a personal belonging of theirs.  The strange part is that Tessa can also unlock that person’s memories and thoughts.  Then, one day after two months the sisters say that Tessa is ready to go to the Magister, but Tessa refuses and fights.  In that moment Jem and Will come across the building and surprise Tessa.  The boys help Tessa escape and kill one of the sisters.  Jem and will take Tessa back to their home the Institute.  The conflict is a character vs. fate since Tessa never meant for her to get kidnapped and lose Nate.    Tessa relies on the help of the Institute to find Nate.  The other Shadowhunters at the Institute help uncover has been already dealing with this world with his employer Mortmain.  They both belong to the Pandemonium Club, humans who think they can handle magic.  Eventually the Shadowhunters figure out that Mortmain is the Magister and that he is constructing a clockwork automaton army charged with demon energies that will actually bring them to life.  Mortmain needed Tessa all along for some mysterious reason.  Tessa pretends to kill herself using her ability, knowing Mortmain needed her.  Tessa successfully tricks Mortmain, but he gets away and the clockwork army kills some of the staff at the Institute.  Tessa still doesn’t know much about her past, but she knows something big is going to happen.
