The secondary characters just completely enriched the story and they were the only reason that I kept reading!

Henry and Charlotte were so endearing and Sophie’s progression through the series is my favourite and was squashed unjustly by the ludicrous romance of the main three. The secondary characters were by far the best. *cough* I’m talking about you, Tessa *cough* You probably shouldn’t be so quick to forgive, because sometimes holding grudges can keep you away from toxic people. Also, Jem proves that there is such a thing as being too nice. His relationship with Will was probably the most endearing and real of the whole series – it was certainly the only relationship that made me feel anything other than cringey. Jem had soooo much potential, but I felt like he was wasted as ill-secondary-love-interest. How unjust your life has been and how repetitive your story. Will adds some comic relief, but in my heart I always knew that he was no Jace and I can only really allow room for once cocky witty jerk in my heart. I never really bought the whole curse mumbo jumbo anyway. Will goes through the most “character development” if you can call going from cocky witty jerk to cocky witty jerk who feels remorseful after fake curse ex-machina character development. Tessa was far too passive, in my opinion, and although her…plain unexciting nature, shall we say, was refreshing to a certain extent, I found myself relieved when we moved from the monotony of the sections focused on her thoughts. In many ways, this series would have been far more interesting if Sophie had been the main character. The Infernal Devices series is, at its core, a romance, and I don’t think I can forgive the fact that Tessa somehow managed to have her cake and eat it too – absolutely ridiculous!įor me, Tessa was way too bland to be a main character. Upon finishing this series I can happily say that I enjoyed The Mortal Instruments series a whole lot more. I have a full and stand-alone review of Clockwork Angel, but today, I thought I would give my general thoughts and opinions on the series as a whole after completing Clockwork Prince and Clockwork Princess.
