In a time when Shadowhunters are barely winning the fight against the forces of darkness, one battle will change the course of history forever. Welcome to the Infernal Devices trilogy, a stunning and dangerous prequel to the New York Times bestselling Mortal Instruments series.

The year is 1878. Tessa Gray descends into London’s dark supernatural underworld in search of her missing brother. She soon discovers that her only allies are the demon-slaying Shadowhunters—including Will and Jem, the mysterious boys she is attracted to. Soon they find themselves up against the Pandemonium Club, a secret organization of vampires, demons, warlocks, and humans. Equipped with a magical army of unstoppable clockwork creatures, the Club is out to rule the British Empire, and only Tessa and her allies can stop them...

Review of 'De Engel van het uurwerk (Helse Apparaten #1)' on 'GoodReads'

Took me 4 tries to read this book. The 4th was a success because The Mortal Instruments is over. TMI was like an introduction to the Clockwork saga, and reading this before finishing TMI is not easy to do.

So now, the characters have been established. The world set. Curiosity raging. Reading the rest of this saga should be exciting. Since the characters here hinted a lot of this "past" during the last book of TMI -- and hinted as well of the future after TMI, it makes this time period worth reading.

Though some would say that this saga is stand alone, in my opinion, it is still better to finish TMI. Putting the Clockwork series into perspective is what makes this adventure attractive.
