First impression van de boeken Infernal Devices (De Helse Creaties) van Cassandra Clare

Toen ik de titels zag van deze boeken was ik gelijk nieuwsgierig. En al helemaal toen ik de kaften zag.

Cassandra Clare heeft ook de Mortal Instruments (Kronieken van de onderwereld) boeken geschreven, die vond ik ook goed, dus ben erg benieuwd naar deze boeken. Op Bol.com vond ik deze tekst: Magic is dangerous - but love is more dangerous still in the #1 New York Times bestselling first book of the Infernal Devices trilogy, a prequel series to The Mortal Instruments. Deze serie speelt zich dus af voor de Mortal Instruments

Het verhaal speelt zich af in de 18^de eeuw in Londen. De 16-jarige Tessa Gray arriveert in een wereld vol met vampiers, tovenaars en andere bovennatuurlijke wezens. Tessa is op de vlucht en zoekt toevlucht bij schaduwjagers, tovenaars die demonen uit de onderwereld bevrijden. Tessa word gedurende de twee boeken verliefd op twee jongens, zij weet niet wie zij moet kiezen. Is liefde het enige wat echte magie is?

Clockwork Angel is het eerste boek uit deze serie, Clockwork Prince en daarna Clockwork Princess.

Zoals bij andere boeken van Cassandra Clare kijk ik erg naar deze boeken uit.

Hiernaast is een overzicht van de volgorde van het verhaallijn. Ik ben begonnen met de Mortal Instruments, dat kan best. Ze zijn ook niet in de deze volgorde uitgebracht, dus ik denk niet dat het verhaal niet meer klopt als je het in een andere volgorde leest. Vooral omdat de wereld ongeveer hetzelfde blijft (denk ik) en dat je alleen te maken hebt met personages, maar vampiers leven wel heel lang dus misschien kom je bekenden tegen..

Als je deze boeken ook gaat lezen: veel plezier!

Zie bij: The shadowhunters Chronicles voor de verhaallijnen.

De boeken zijn zowel in het Engels als in het Nederlands te verkrijgen, in het Nederlands heten deze boeken i.p.Clockwork Angel de IJzeren Engel.

Cruel Beauty & Crimson Bound – Rosamund Hodge

*These books are not translated to Dutch* Cruel Beauty – Rosamund Hodge This is my first retelling of fairytale. I wasn’t what to expect. I knew it would be darker than the tale we’re used to. As in the Disney Beauty and the Beast story. I liked it. The first sentence was for me the trigger to read it. “I was raised to marry a monster” In Arcadia the people live under the rules from the Demon Lord, The Gentle Lord. He strikes bargains. But with every bargain there is price you have to pay. Nyx’s father strikes a deal with the Gentle Lord as his wife couldn’t bear children. He wanted to make her happy and having children would make her more happy than anything else. The price to pay is his daughter to marry him when she’s 17 years old. Her sister Astria is the reason that her mother died at childbirth. Their father wants to keep her and loves her because she reminds her so much of his beloved wife. Nyx hates her. She doesn’t want to be...

Spindle Fire by Lexa Hillyer

This is not just a retelling about Aurora, but also about another girl, never been told. About her sister Isabelle. These two sisters are very different, but grew up together in the castle. And while Malfleur is getting stronger, the kingdoms are divided. And the girls get separated. This story is different from what I expected, I thought it would be more excitement. But although I was disappointed, it did read like a fairytale. It had a slow pace and that suit the story, the story about Sleeping Beauty. Because the writing wasn’t that fast paced I took my time reading, I even went three days without reading because I didn’t was drawn to it that much. I wish the story would have contained more excitement, more mystery and maybe folklore? I love Folklore and especially in fairytale books! This is definitely a fairytale retelling that reads like a real fairytale, like Hunted by Meagon Spooner. Next year Hillyer will bring out another book “Winter Glass” I think that this will ...

The Queen of the Tearling Series by Erika Johansen

When Kelsea Glynn is 19 years old, a group of men appear at her doorstep and take her to the Keep. There is her castle, because Kelsea isn't just some 19 year old girl. She is the Queen of the Tearling. With every book in this series I needed some time to get into the story, because the chapters are very large and it sometimes switches between POV's. Which is totally fine, but it sometimes distracted me too much. I really like this world building, I had some difficult with understanding when the story takes place (future) but after a while I got it and that made the books better. Although I did not like every aspect of Kelsea, Johansen is such a great writer. I liked how Johansen wrote the mysteries and made it all come together. I often was blown away by the revelation of some aspects of the stories! Kelsea is a strong young woman with a strong mind, but sometimes she does not think her actions through...and that has consequences. I also have a big dislike about her attit...
