Book Review: Icon of the Indecisive

Dear Miss Mina, Do you realize the kind of dilemma you’ve caused me? You practically shoved me into a corner where I attempted to destroy my brain with thoughts of, 2 or 4, 3 or 4, 3 or 4? I really really wanted to give this book a 4 but I just can’t. You see, I still have a lot of unmet demands which I kindly enumerated below to refresh your memory.

Book Review: Clockwork Princess

Perhaps it isn’t proper for me to write this review while I am undergoing an emotional upheaval right this very minute. My thoughts are still incoherent and I am not sure whether I would be able to properly convey my feelings for this book. Clockwork Princess has been on my 2013 must-read list and to say that I am looking forward to read it is an understatement. I was so immersed in the world of Shadowhunters that I couldn’t rest until I’ve read the final installment of The Infernal Devices. Unlike The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices left a sorrow…
