Has anyone been reading yet? What do you all think?

I'm almost finished with it, and I absolutely love it!

I'm reliving everything right now, just got up to the part where Tessa bring's Will holy water.

I'm really liking Tessa, and I actually prefer her over Clary. I feel like Tessa is a much stronger character. I'm really looking forward to finishing this one and reading the other two books.

I agree. I feel like Tessa is a more sophisticated character than Clary, maybe wise for her age because she grew up taking care of her aunt and brother. She had to grow up faster but she's also a bit naive at times. Clary on the other hand was just a dear in headlights, slowly stepping into her shadowhunting shoes. Both have tremendous character development though and I love them both as strong female heroines.

I really like the book. It's well written so I can escape to another time/place and see everything so clear.

I finished it last night. LOVE. Getting ready to start Clockwork Prince!

I really like Tessa more over Clary as well, and I feel like she is a lot more confident! Although they both do go through a lot of character development themselves. I still feel like there are slight similarities between the characters from this series and the Mortal Instruments. But they are unique as well.

The setting is done so well! I agree with DJ. The combination of steampunk, paranormal and historical fiction is so interesting.

I'm about 100 pages into Clockwork Prince, Meghann, so I'm reading with you :D
