Good start to a new series!

Cassandra Clare is a gifted writer - the Mortal Instruments I've swallowed; All four books were worthy to be read. I, however, was skeptical: Could the Infernal Devices series which hold a candle? I try to explain in this review.

This time does the book in a long-forgotten era, somewhere in England, a long time ago; hence the language is a little different. That's what I had to get used first, since it is written a little more complicated than the MI. When you have passed the first language shock, that's no longer a problem. The plot is at first a bit tough. One also knows the actors do not really, so I needed something to einzufinden me. After about fifty pages, however, I was enough read, to find it exciting. Still, I have to say I was in the MI immediately in action in there and never subsided. Here, then, a minor nuisance.

Later on, however, makes the book really fun. You also get used to the characters. Do not worry: They're not at all like the MI. I was afraid to get here an imitation of Cassy and the others. That is not the case. All actors are original designed and realistic. Jessamine I won very much. For the other but that's not really the case. Despite all perfection I found it rather boring and could close little heart. If yes maybe. What happens in the book so here and there, I do not want to betray; but there are some unusual events. Phrases that you did not expect, too. As always with Miss Clare the whole package is so satisfactory. Deductions are only available for the tenacity with which the voltage is charging and the characters who have just not so convinced. Otherwise ... really good! I look forward to part two.
